Huckabee called a presser to unveil an attack ad on Romney, then decided at the last minute that he’s too Christian a leader to attack another candidate — and then showed the ad to reporters anyway, knowing of course that it’d be the talk of political news coverage tonight and tomorrow.
He’s says he’s concerned about gaining the world and losing his soul. I say he might as well relax about it and go after the world, because his soul’s already gone. I don’t get angry at a dog peeing on my car tire – he’s not committing vandalism, he’s just being a dog. Along those lines, I don’t really mind politicians being disingenuous and dishonorable. It’s what they do. But I very much mind Huckabee doing it in the name of Christianity. This guy is going to have a lot to answer for sometime down the road.
Update: Bumped from the Quick Posts section to include this comment from a Joe Klein post -
What perfect timing! I was looking for an example of the hypocritical nature of Evangelical ‘values’. Frankly, I think I deserve credit for not calling Huckabee a cynical, morally bankrupt politician. I am far too good a person to sink to the level of such name-calling.
