Watching Republicans eat their young can be quite entertaining

Mike Huckabee: The anti-Limbaugh candidate

I was in the car listening to Rush Limbaugh responding to the Mike Huckabee campaign’s attack on him. What an unbelievably knuckle-headed move by Huckabee’s minions. Casting Limbaugh as part of the Beltway-Manhattan elite? Those who’ve been tuning in and listening closely know that Limbaugh has scrupulously avoided playing favorites with any of the GOP candidates. He’s been an equal-opportunity scrutinizer. What possible benefit could accrue from going after one of the conservative movement’s most popular figures? I believe this Rush-bashing incident may turn out to be Huckabee’s Howard Dean scream moment.

Normally, I’d care not a whit about Michelle Malkin’s opinion on ANY subject, but this circus of immaturity is really rather entertaining. Mike Huckabee, who as time goes by seems to be revealing himself to be an increasingly unbalanced, Jesus uber Alles Wingnut of the first order, has apparently, for reasons known only to himself, decided to take on Rush Limbaugh. I suppose this should probably be interpreted as a good thing. After all, if Republicans are busy eating their young, they’re not going to have a lot of energy left to take on whoever the Democratic standard-bearer will be. Plus, the entertainment value would be through the roof, no?

I can remember watching Huckabee on The Daily Show a few months back, and I was impressed by his seeming reasonableness. Here was a Republican who really seemed to “get it”, who understood that divisiveness may win elections, but it’s a damn poor way to run a country. Since then, however, as I’ve learned more about Huckabee, I’ve come to understand that he’s about nothing BUT divisiveness. In short, Mike Huckabee is all about Mike Huckabee. Besides being just another Dominionist Theocrat determined to govern based on Biblical principles, Huckabee has an ego the size of Arkansas and has no inclination towards anything resembling consensus-building. His willingness to take on Limbaugh, who could really do a lot of good things for him in terms of building support, shows how idsturbingly short-sighted and self-absorbed he really is.

Jeebus, what a (&^%$#@ DUMB@$$….
