Republican civil war: the Uncle Cholly / Chuck Norris wing vs. the plutocrats

Two-Buck Huck

Class war is forbidden in the Republican playbook. But Huckabee, despite an inept last week of campaigning, has forced the Republican party to face the Wal-Mart shoppers that they have long taken advantage of. He’s here. He’s Gomer. And he’s not going away.

Huckabee revels in the class war. He’s Two-Buck Huck, and darn proud of it. He likes nothing better than playing the Hick from Hope. He and his wife lived in a trailer for a while, he points out. His son killed a dog one summer, “a mangy dog” at that, as Huckabee explained to the befuddled national press corps. He said he used to eat squirrels, cooking them up in his popcorn popper. Ewwwwhhh!

If there were no Dems or yellow dogs in the race, i'd vote for him.

"He said he used to eat squirrels, cooking them up in his popcorn popper."

Who would have guessed that that would even work? That's the kind of creative thinking we need in DC.

Well, if he was really creative he would have invented the squirrel popper.
