Hillary Clinton makes Mike Huckabee look like a genius on the issue of Pakistan
On Saturday, I wrote about Republican candidate Mike Huckabee’s numerous flubs on the campaign trail, and noted that one of the most recent ones was a false assertion he made about illegal Pakistan immigrants. That wasn’t the only flub he made about Pakistan in the aftermath of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Read about the rest here.

Up until a couple of months ago, Mike Huckabee didn’t stand out much for anyone. He wasn’t polling well, and the mediots and his opponents paid very little attention to anything he did.

If he were still a minister, he’s someone you wouldn’t mind going to hear preach his Sunday sermon. But presidential material he isn’t.
