Nice To See Someone Laughing At Carmen - Lord Knows The Audience Doesn't
Boy, if we didn't know any better it would seem as though Stantis was writing Prickly City hours before going to press instead of two weeks ago. Of course, it hasn't worked out well, but still - it's timely.
Yesterday he accused Hillary of the "error of big government" - on the same day President Bush asked for ANOTHER $42 million dollars for his wars without end. Nothing like a veto for money for healthcare for kids of working families and then asking for more money for war. And oh did you hear Osama has a new tape out? It's like Stantis coordinated with the RNC and al Qaeda.
Today we learn that Carmen is liking former Arkansas governor and current Religious Right favorite Mike Huckabee in the Presidential race. Coicidentally enough, at the Republican debate just the other day Huckabee did some good ol' fashioned pandering to the faithful in the audience by saying that most of the Founding Fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence were clergymen. Which of course means we're a Christian Nation, dontcha know. Something I'm sure Carmen loves to hear.
Slight problem. Of the 56 signers of the Declaration, only 1 was a clergyman. But hey, why let the truth get in the way of a good pandering to the Religious Right? Of course it does Huckabee no good to pander to the Deists in the crowd, even though there were more of them amongst the Founding Fathers than clergymen.
I'm sure the media will get right on this blatant lie, as soon as they stop saying that Al Gore said he invented the internet.
It makes sense for Carmen to support Huckabee, and I wouldn't doubt that he'll emerge as the Bill Clinton-esque dark horse after Iowa. Romney's a flip flopper Mormon from a blue state. Giuliani was pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, was once married to his cousin, and can't say a sentence without mentioning 9/11. Fred Thompson is arguably lazier than Stantis, and wasn't nearly the savior the righties thought he would be. That leaves Huckabee, whose greatest claim to fame is losing a lot of weight. Oh, and he has no problem lying and playing to the base. I'm sure more and more Republicans are looking his way, especially the "Value Voters" from the debate the other night. Carmen, you might be ahead of the curve on this one.
But maybe you should stop running Winslow's campaign if you're going to come out and support one of the people he could be running against. Or did Stantis forget that little tidbit?

Ironically enough, Al Gore inventing the internet is responsible for an increase in the number of clergymen today. "Over 20 million Universal Life Church (ULC) ministers have been ordained online throughout the world." Nobel winner, Oscar winner, Emmy winner, best-selling author, inventor...what can't that guy do?

Huckabee?
...Why am I not surprised?

Oh, Carmen...
Your grown-up friends will just laugh even harder.
