While working out this morning the television at Snap Fitness was already set on Fox News and for some reason changing the channel seemed like too much effort on top of crunches, the treadmill and the bench press. I had the dishonor of watching Mike Huckabee [I personally can't wait until this Judas is out of my state] lie. Oh I’ve heard politicians lie before, they do breathe after all [at least some of them, Hillary not withstanding], but Huckabee seems to have really mastered the art. Steve Doocy asked Huckabee about his non-attack ad/ attack ad that he didn’t / did run New Year’s eve. Doocy noted that the ad is now the buzz of the internet to which Huckabee replied “don’t know how that happened.”
Are you fucking kidding me? You showed the ad to a room full of reporters, but you don’t know how the ad made it on the internet? Not only does Huckabee, despite his weak attempt at psuedo redneck naivete, know exactly how the ad got on the internet and it’s my contention that was the plan the whole time. Don’t feed me bullshit about some divinely inspired change of heart about the negative direction of the campaign season. Huckabee knew if he ran the ad two days before the caucus that the ad would be lost in the swirl of false promises that currently permeate the Iowa airwaves. So he did what any recent governor of Arkansas in the last two decades would do… a little backwoods shuckin’ and jivin’.
And just when I thought the lies and deception couldn’t get any worse, Doocy asked Huckabee if he had ever eaten a Maid Rite loose meat sandwich. I have forgotten Huckabee’s answer nor was it important, but after Huckabee left Doocy’s Fox and Friends colleagues asked him why it was called a “Maid Rite.” Doocy, while claiming to be from Iowa, said “because it’s ‘made right.” Brian Kilmeade tried to correct Doocy, but the damage was done and Doocy was sure he was ‘rite.’ I’ll accept Huckabee lying to the nation, but I will not tolerate misinformation being spread about an iconic Iowa institution such as Maid Rite. Yes the sandwich was considered to be “made right,” but the company is Maid-Rite reflecting the wholesomeness of the heavenly sandwich. Does the Fox News bias know no bounds?
