The Politico reports on Mike Huckabee’s reaction to the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran:
Kuhn: I don’t know to what extent you have been briefed or been able to take a look at the NIE report that came out yesterday …
Huckabee: I’m sorry?
Kuhn: The NIE report, the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. Have you been briefed or been able to take a look at it —
Huckabee: No.
Kuhn: Have you heard of the finding?
Huckabee: No.
As The Corner notes, this isn’t a so much an indication that Huckabee’s an idiot as it is of the kind of campaign he’s running:
[T]he exchange underscores the fact that Huckabee doesn’t really have much of a campaign, in the sense that Giuliani and Romney have campaigns, with teams of advisers and carefully-thought-out policy positions. In important ways, he has been flying by the seat of his pants, relying on his unequaled talents as a retail campaigner. But now that he is leading in Iowa, and moving up nationally as well, the deficiencies of his campaign might come more and more into the spotlight.
And yet, he continues to rise in the polls.

The biggest story on the news, the most important to all Republicans, and he doesn’t have a clue. Keep in mind, his qualifications are being the governor of a small under populated backwoods state. Arkansas was used as a launching pad for the Clinton’s New World Order campaign backed by cocaine money from their drug operation in Mena, Arkansas. I remember when Bill Clinton committed political suicide with his introductory speech at the Democratic Convention. He babbled on for hours about absolutely nothing, the commentators literally turned down the sound and talked over him. He was an international laughing stock, but 4 years later, he was thrust upon us as our NWO president.
Huckabee is not surging, Rudy and Mitt are dropping like rocks. The MSM can polish that turd all they want but he’s still Mike Huckabee from Arkansas.I was at a recent straw poll in Florida, Ron Paul’s supporters outnumbered Huckabee’s 100 to 1. Top tier, my ass!

The point you folks continue to sidestep is that Clinton was simply following orders. Is “Clinton’s NWO” (sic) any different than GHW Bush’s NWO? All that cocaine money was being generated by Bush The Elder’s CIA, not Clinton’s CIA. Clinton was created by Bush (or rather, the people for whom Bush worked and works) to continue the process begun with Bush’s 12 years of rule (officially begun the day Bozo was “almost assassinated.” Clinton was thrust upon us by Bush with a very specific function in DC: to carry on the domestic and foreign agenda of that NWO. And, he did a great job. Without him, 9/11 couldn’t have happened.
