Mike Huckabee Has to be a Democrat Plant

By Peter Heck  |  May 11, 2017, 12:50pm  |  @peterheck

Everyone has their own tastes in humor: the clownish physical comedy of the Three Stooges or Jim Carrey, observational comedy like Jerry Seinfeld and Tim Hawkins, explicitly crude comedy like Chris Rock or George Carlin, or dry sarcasm like Norm McDonald or David Spade. And while I can bust a gut laughing at Hawkins or Spade, I also appreciate that there are those who don’t. Similarly, while some might never get enough of Curly smacking Larry in the head, I’d expect them to respect the fact that it gets a little old to the rest of us.

In short, a man’s choice in comedy is something to be respected and not judged. Except Mike Huckabee. We can all judge Mike Huckabee’s humor.

The former Arkansas Governor, turned presidential candidate, turned Fox News host, turned presidential candidate, turned embittered anti-Cruzer, turned Donald Trump apologist, has now apparently settled on a new career: Twitter comedy.

And it’s not going well.

When Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer fake cried over Donald Trump’s temporary “travel ban,” the embarrassing spectacle set up nicely to be harpooned by witty conservatives. Instead, Mike Huckabee went in for the kill:

Breaking news from Hollywood! Sen. Chuck Schumer cast in lead role for remake of “Boys Don’t Cry.”

What? First of all, he was crying (or pretending to) so it wouldn’t be boys don’t cry. Secondly, this isn’t even close to being a burn. If anything it let Schumer off the hook by being more humiliating than the Senator’s pandering tears.

Then came the Justice Gorsuch hearings which saw Huckabee try to float a few zingers, including one that referenced the old cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn. I’ll give you one guess how well that went over seeing that Twitter is populated largely by people who weren’t alive when Foghorn was in his prime. But after swinging and missing with a cartoon reference, Huckabee went right back in with this gem:

Breaking News! Jimmy Dean Sausage Co will be renamed GORSUCH SAUSAGE because he’s grinding up some Democrat Senators into PURE PORK SAUSAGE.

And Resurgent/Red State are anti-Trump websites.

Yeah, but this piece is slamming The Huckster for being a moron.....which he is.

  True @TomSea but now the DOJ is pro-Trump.

[beandog]

There are two groups of people I can't stand, the Trump can do know right group and the Trump can do know wrong group.  I don't like the Huckster but there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.  Just makes Red State appear childish exactly like FR.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

He's the dem plant! We finally found this scumbag!

[TomSea]

What's resurgent/red state doing now? Making false claims about a candidate's policy on gun control? No, sorry, this is a hatchet job against Huckabee and not even very well done. These websites have amateurish articles and that deserves to be pointed out in his defense instead of some smear against someone who got on Fox news with his own show, has been a pro-life advocate and traditional marriage advocate at every turn. Sure, as governor he made mistakes as anyone in a true leadership role will.

@TomSea

That's almost as bad as making false claims about conservatives' policies on abortion.

Or almost as bad as making false claims about TBR on other sites.

I think Huckabee is just one of those people who doesn't know how to be funny.  He tries to be--and he thinks he is, hilariously so---but he's just a little too dense and always misses the mark.



Gov. Mike Huckabee ✔@GovMikeHuckabee
CNN now stands for Cardiac Care Network because their ppl are having heart attacks over Trump doing what Dems once demanded-fire Comey.


Jake Tapper ✔@jaketapper
Comedy is hard. Acronyms Harder.

Not a Dem plant, just a demwit(sic).  Everyone acting like children or late night comics. Thinking success on anything is who can get in a 'burn' and victory is the best soundbyte.

Now let's not make it personal old bead.

I agree completely with you (except for your spelling, you no).  ^-^

Exactly.

I was out of line with that one.  I deserve to be TOSed in the corner.

I'm sure you find your's every night, sweetpea.

Maybe Huckabee is on a somewhat subtle campaign to make Trump look good by being even worse in comparison.

Huckabee's quips aren't even good enough to be considered 'dad jokes'.

[anubias]

As a matter of fact, I do!  Maybe you should try it.  Could be what ails ya.

I know you do, I found a picture:

I know - he puts no effort into them. It's like he's mailing them in.

The Huckster is ok...once in awhile he can deliver his punchline and at other times not so much.  Other than that he doesn't hold political office and he's harmless.  Rumor has it though that he may run for governor of Florida in '18.

Huckster might be a nice guy but when the subject was Cruz he sure didn't seem so nice. Sees like a crass political opportunist to me.
