Mike Huckabee Slams Natalie Portman for being Pregnant and Unwed
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Communications on March 4, 2011
Mike Hukabee called Natalie Portman a bad role model for women and single moms claiming that more often than not, single unwed moms can not handle taking care of their children and rely on government aide. Hukabee’s insistance that Natalie Portman is a bad role model is a bit short sighted and judgemental.
PR Blunder of the Day—Mike Huckabee Says Obama “grew up in Kenya”
Posted by TJ Walker in advertising, Audio/Video Technology, Authors Corner, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics on March 2, 2011
Huh? Huckabee isn’t known for saying incredibly stupid things that can easily be proven factually incorrect later. Yesterday, Huckabee had an aide put out a statement that the Huck had “misspoken” and had meant to say Indonesia.
Hmmm…is this just an attempt to court the birther vote?

Is this the beginning of a backlash in favor of Chris Christie? Can he get Cavuto, Oprah, Mike Huckabee (now that he’s portly again) and Roger Ailes to support a Christie for President—He’s One of Us-Campaign?
I don’t think so.

Mike Huckabee to the entire political world: “I’m still here, even though my name isn’t Palin!”

The profile of Mike Huckabee in Politico today suggest there’s a chance he might not run for President because he’s making too much money and enjoying life now. I can’t imagine this being a deterrent for him. If he runs and loses, he can make even more money. And if he runs and wins, he will be able to make 9-figure wealth the way bill Clinton did in a few years after his time in the White House.

You have to feel sorry for poor Mike Huckabee. No one ever seems to mention him anymore now that all political news is devoted to Sarah Palin 100% of the time. But Huckabee finally found a way to get a little bit of the spotlight back. He called for the execution of the WikiLeaks guy. Now that’s the way to muscle your sound bite into the story!

Gibson is friendly and good natured.
Huckabee is wearing a bad TV tie–it is pixilating and going blurry in some shots. His first answer comes across sincere–nice distancing from Bush. He appears to be thoughtful re foreign policy.
Fred Thompson says “uh” evey two seconds. He seems to need a director and severl takes before he can nail it.
