Did Huckabee go too far and pull a "Howard Dean"?

[gene430]

Looks like Huckabee stepped in it. The question now is will the media let it go or hammer it daily like they did to Howard Dean.

1. What has this got to do with Howard Dean?

I don't see the connection.

[annabanana]

2. You mean did he fail to get the connected media to cover him

the way they cover the connected candidates? - then yup

10. The only person the press loves more than Huckabee is McCain--so, no.

3. Pull a Howard Dean?

You're comparing that fucking hypocrite and repugnant press conference to Dean? Wow. Go jump in a very icy lake.

4. Howard Dean did nothing wrong. The MSM assassinated his character

with that bogus 'Dean scream' thing that was over-blown and out-of-context.

[DangerDave921]

15. bogus?

I've seen the video and it was genuine.

Of course it was overplayed by the MSM, but it wasn't bogus. It was a pretty real scream.

17. Yes he was screaming but the room was insanely loud

the tape had all of the insanely loud noise removed.

5. "pull a Howard Dean"? not a very good comparison

Since your new here you probably didn't know that there are a lot of former Dean supporters here who might resent that.

6. I don't think Huckabee COULD "pull a Howard Dean..."

...since he has no integrity and is not very smart!

Huck may have "stepped in it" but Dean didn't step in anything. He was pushed.

7. Please never use those two names in the same sentence again

Huckleberry doesn't even deserve to be mentioned on the same page as the good doctor.

8. Wow....

There are some serious Dean casualties here....nmy apology to the group. My intentions were only to ask for opinions as to whether or not the media was going to turn Huckabee's gaffe into a media frenzy as they did to Dean.

No offense to the Honorable Howard Dean.


Whew!

12. It's okay.

You're new. Welcome to DU.

9. Mike Huckabee is trying to blow it, and I don't know why,

[TwilightGardener]

11. He's not very bright. He's all charm and personality and one-liners and gee-tar, but there's

absolutely no Presidential substance or seriousness there. He's Chimpy 2.0--updated with a more pleasant personality and more verbal dexterity.

13. hypocrite huckabee

What a flaming phony this self-proclaimed religious candidate is, showing the attack ad he's not going to show, and not disavowing his slanderous claims against romney.What a hypocrite! Just like all the other Republican phonies and liars. What a bunch!

[gene430]

14. Any update?

Now that Iowa is over, want to re-evaluate?

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. I found Huckabee's speech to be incredibly incoherent nonsense

In front, behind, ahead, before us...

Who could tell what he was even talking about. Truly weird.
