Bristol Responds to Mike Huckabee
Via her blog, Bristol Palin responded to some comments made by Mike Huckabee about her and her show:
Yesterday, I was at Track’s house for his last night in town before he deploys back to Afghanistan. That’s where I got an e-mail explaining that Mike Huckabee had just told his radio audience that he was very disappointed in me. Here’s what he said:
“We had earlier in the hour that Bristol Palin would be joining us about a new reality t.v. show that she’s going to be doing.
And apparently, she just didn’t show up.
So guess what? I don’t guess we’ll be watching tomorrow when her new show lines up.
Too bad.”
He goes on to say that he doesn’t believe children of politicians deserve to be criticized for their parents’ decisions. He regrets his own children have suffered for his own choices as a politician.
“There’s a different story once the child decides, “Hey, I like this spotlight. I like the limelight. I want to have more of it,” then, you know, they become fair game.
Then they are there by their own choice and their own volition. So if you go on Dancing with the Stars, or go on a lecture tour, or do a reality show, then, all bets are off…”
He continues by saying he didn’t think David Letterman was fair to me during the 2008 campaign. However:
“I hope she’s ready for it, because now it’ll come not because of what her mother chose to do but because she’s said, “Hey, I want to be in the spotlight.”
I understand Gov. Huckabee has a huge challenge creating a radio show he wants as the alternative to Rush Limbaugh. I understand he wants to fill his show with a little controversy – and what better way than to create headlines telling the world he now considers me “fair game.”

How’s that diet coming Huck? Looks like you’re eating away the pain again.
I mean, he’s fair game, right?

Way to be controversial, Huckabee, pick a fight with a girl; a young mother, no less.
Let’s hope Bristol’s as smart as her mom and knows to let this sit an fester. Huckabee will drown in his own pus.

smart girl..she has a bright future.. as for “fuck a bee”, no thanks, he’s another wannabe politician from Arkansas, and he lives to hear himself talk…like most of them do… sorry, but if he has to make himself look important, by slapping Bristol around (verbally), too bad for him…he’s just slipped lower in my withering views of him already.

Huckabee is a worm, and beneath contempt.
I’m SOOOOOO glad Bristol inherited her mother’s balls!
“But the fact is, his people didn’t schedule my appearance…Maybe instead of lecturing me on being irresponsible, he should get his own team in line.
Then, maybe, we could talk.
But I probably would just call Rush instead.”
ZING! Take THAT, fatman!
Game. Set. Match. – Bristol

I liked Huckabee when he first came on Fox. Then I realized he wasn’t as conservative as I first thought. Now I don’t watch and I don’t listen. I also didn’t like him being a big spender when Governor of Arkansas.
What really got to me was all the liberals who were on his TV show. It was liberal to the max and out the rear. Every time that happens, I’m out the door.

It seems a bit petulant for a grown man to get his digs before contacting her to find out why she was a no show and reschedule simply from a business perspective. Maybe Mike is tired of being shafted by others and he’s man enough not to take any guff from the girl. Maybe he just had a bad day after looking at his ratings….again. If there was a mix-up in scheduling, will Mike be man enough to admit it on the air? Yes, Bristol, things happen. But you better not cross Governor Mike Huckabee!!

Ya know who is also fair game? Dem-RINO hack talking heads who prey on the children of beloved and accomplished leaders, whether those leader-parents currently hold public office or not

The Rotunda Guvuhnah Mike Huckabee is squarely responsible for the death of four Lakewood police officers because he granted clemency to Maurice Clemmons, who killed the four men in a coffee shop.
Since we’re talking ‘fair game,’ has Mike’s wife ever considered going on “The Biggest Loser?” She sure is married to one.

When you come down to it he’s a RINO. I saw his show a few times, much as I could tolerate, but could no more. He has too many ‘Liberal-Lite’ moments for my liking.
He’s fawned, more than once over the FLOTUS.

Bristol’s conundrum: Spend a final evening with my brother, who’s deploying to Trashcanistan or remind a fat, bloated toad of an ex-governor (who destroyed all his admin’s computer files before exiting the position!) that his staff failed to schedule my appearance?
What to do? What to do?

Huckabee: We didn’t schedule you and you didn’t show up so I’m going to badmouth you on the air without getting my fucking facts straight first.
Huckabee isn’t fit to wipe Bristol’s ass.
People with Palin Derangement Syndrome, left-wing and right-wing, need psychiatric treatment. The irrational need to hate this family, devoid of any reason or logic, has got to be a mental illness.

Exactly Crusty, it’s like the inexplicable hate for the Duggars: yeah they have 19+ kids but “so what?” The parents are STILL married, in love, and still have date nights; they all work hard to be self-sufficient; the kids are all happy and healthy and relatively normal with (or because of) minimal if any Internet or TV; none are on public assistance; all the kids are or were homeschooled instead of trapped in pregressively failing public indoctrination centers; and every last one of them is as good-natured as can be
I’m convinced any hatred of the Palins or the Duggars is pure and simple jealousy…who among us would not want to be a part of a close and loving family, either as a child or as a parent (if not both)?

As one rather frank woman explained it, “Sarah’s got five kids and she’s married to an athlete. Of course women hate Sarah Palin. She loves to ****!”

Now that we’ve gotten our yuks out of the way, can we all admit that he’s right? She’s going to be torn down worse than how we tear down Meghan McCain–whether or not she deserves it as much as McCain does.
Doesn’t matter whether or not her detractors are right, it’s still going to happen. I see no shame in discussing the inevitability of what is as likely as the sunrise tomorrow.
It’s been fun to watch Bristol grow up these past few years. Like watching a superhero train a sidekick that’s ready to come into the spotlight on their own. Unlike Huckabee, I have the faith in Bristol to weather it all with the grace and dignity she has shown thus far!

The struggle to make yourself relevant with a microphone or a camera, whether you’re Mike or Bristol, must be a punishing job.

I blame this phat phuck for the nomination of McCain which lead to the election of Obama. Huck stayed in the primary race long after it was obvious he had no chance of winning for the sole purpose of syphoning votes away from Romney, whom he hated. What an asshole.
