4. Gawd damn it...
I just got my first bass as a christmas present. Bass playing already has a bad enough rap without him adding to it.

At least I can always say I was a guitarist first and I only learned bass so I could record my own bass tracks...

6. No way can you suck as bad as Huckabee.
You're a Democrat. You have taste.

7. HELL NO! You don't want no back-liner running the country
Give it to the SINGER or the GUITAR PLAYER.

What next, one of those loser keyboard players playing one of those lame-ass "keytars"?

What the hell is WRONG with this country?

10. Yeah... he's quite the rocker I've heard...
I believe his band is called 'Capitol Offense'



I have to say, although I'm not a Huckabee supporter, he was a strong advocate for music education - and made sure that EVERY school in Arkansas was required to offer not only elementary music, but also instrumental AND vocal music in the high schools.

13. Don't people realize how EASY it is to fake semi-competence on the Bass Guitar.
I'm a sax player, with a few guitar lessons as a kid, and even I could fake my way through a couple standards after my first go at the instrument....

17. Playing bass is the only thing I like about Huck, it's about time we
had a bass player in the WH, after all, the bass player is the most important member of the group. Indeed, the other group members should properly be considered "assistants to the bass player", since they primarily exist to provide an environment for the bass player to perform. Perhaps with a Huck administration, a grievous injustice will be corrected by the building on the National Mall in DC of the "John Alec Entwistle Memorial". I'm thinking something along the lines of the Lincoln Memorial, only bigger.
