February 20, 2008: Lie of the Day

As the campaign continues, I will try to provide a... Lie of the Day. Here's the first:

Mike Huckabee said Tuesday passion for his beliefs - not his ego - was the reason he remains in the Republican presidential race despite near-impossible odds.

Now, now. how do you know that's a lie?

Delusions aren't lies.

Whether a lie, delusion or stupidity, the best part of Huckleberry's persistence is that he is taking himself out of the VP race. That is certainly my hope.

He may be thinking that McCain will be forced to put him on the ticket if he gets enough delegates. I don't know.

However, if McCain did so, I think it would be his demise in November.

The Huckster had already "proven" his value in the south and that made his case for VP. Now he is proving himself to be a pain in the a**. What would a VP Huckster look like? Look no farther than today. What he does today, he will do tomorrow.

Given his delegate count and the number of remaining delegates being fewer than he needs to win, we are finding out more about what the Huckster doesn't believe in than what we does believe in. Not only doesn't he believe in evolution, he also doesn't believe in arithmetic.

Maybe I'm just being a cynical old codger, but I suspect Huckabee's hoping for a brokered convention, never mind what that would do to the party.
