I knew from the start that Huckabee could never have won the presidency. Even if he had gotten the republican nomination, any one of the Democrats - even the ones that dropped out, Edwards, Kucinich, Richardson -- could have beaten him easily. And if at any time things started to go his way, we could have pulled out the video clip of Huckabee saying:
"Hi, I'm Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, wanting to say 'Congratulations Canada on preserving your national igloo'."
to a fake reporter on the Canadian show Talking To Americans.
But fortunately we didn't have to use that clip.
Here's something the rest of you may not have noticed...
Who made Huckabee? Many might have noted that Stephen Colbert claimed to have made Huckabee, with the "Colbert Bump."
Who UNmade Huckabee? I think it's another Daily Show cast member:
"I firmly believe, after Bill Clinton -- Bill Clinton alone is reason enough not to elect anyone from Arkansas president for a hundred years."
Lewis Black, The White Album, recorded 1999
I'm glad you guys trust Lew.
