Huckabee: I can't be dumb and evil at the same time.

[RandySF]

Over at Mediaite, Mark Joyella runs down the highlights of an interview that presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee gave on Sirius Radio's POTUS channel, in which he responds to last week's nonsensical Kenya-Mau Mau Uprising bleatings by...well, I was going to say "by continuing to put his foot in his mouth," but that's not exactly what he's doing. Would that he had! Then, the noises he made would have sounded more like "MMMMHHUUNNGGGH GGHHHHLLLEEEGGHHH," punctuated by choked inhalations.

If Huckabee did spend the next three days gnawing on his own metatarsals, I'd be inclined to say he would "win the week." Instead, Huckabee offered up some more excuse making. Apparently now it's everyone else's fault, for evaluating his remarks in context!

On the reaction to his comments on Kenya, Huckabee says they "ranged from-this guy is so dumb he doesn't know that Barack Obama grew up in Indonesia not Kenya-all the way to the other extreme...well, I can't be both. I can't be the dumbest guy in the room and the smartest guy in the room at the same time."

5. uh ... yes you can

especially when you're deliberately dumb so you can say something evil then you use dumbness as an excuse that you hide behind. :silly: :evilfrown:

Doing the devil's work and calling it god's:evilgrin:
It pays the rent I guess.

7. That thesis is disproved on a daily basis.

And not just by Huckabee.

8. Actually, Huck, where do you think the phrase "the banality of evil" came from?

In fact, Evil IS Dumb, in it's own way.
