Huck you


I’m going to the DFL caucus tomorrow night, and after seeing this video I’m thinking I ought to throw my vote to Mike Huckabee.

Maybe I can convince a few others to join me if I dress sexy enough.

    :( it’s not working for me. I even allowed scripts globally, and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas on how I can get it to play?

    Riding dinosaurs – didn’t they do that in the Garden of Eden? This is sure to generate a few extra votes for the Huckster.

    Oddity I’ve noticed: Whenever I watch an embedded video here, my office computer locks up hard, forcing me to pull the plug. Don’t know if it’s scienceblogs or Pharyngula specifically.

    Being at work, I didn’t hear the audio (it’ll wait until I get home), but the first few seconds were so visually campy that I can’t possibly believe it is serious.

    The I’m just a stupid woman I don’t deserve a voice line pretty much makes it clear it’s satire.

    That filthy dinosaur.. not only are they awesome, big and cool, they also get the girl!

    Its like high-school all over again.

    Huckabee girl’s erratic behavior has included appearing in short skirts without underwear, shaving her head, abandoning a car in traffic when it had a flat tire, and recently, holding her dog and sobbing on a sidewalk.

    I’m glad everyone else thinks that’s a parody too!

    It doesn’t make me want to vote Huckabee (I can’t do that anyway, I’m in the UK) or even not vote Huckabee, but it does make me want to do things with lollipops for some reason. ;-)

    Erm… That wee ‘dinosaur’ she cuddles throughout the video is wearing a plaid scottie hat. It rather leads me to believe she is actually cuddling Nessie.

    I’m not sure if this makes it funnier!

    I thought the Universe was made in six days? I don’t know,
    it seems kind of ludicrous because of the total religious
    content, even allowing for the downright pitch for the
    hick huckabee. I’ll have to pass on this one for any
    content of any worth. Looney Tunes will be more of a
    humorous attention grabber.

    So? I thought everyone knew that Nessie is a plesiosaur…

    Brilliant parody, just enough to fly under the radar of the gormless. In the UK we just don’t feel that way about politicians.

    The t-shirt is great! Maybe it will get people to watch the movie “I Heart Huckabees”, which will confuse them so much they won’t know where to go to vote.

    Why is the production value so high? Man, Edwards needs this kind of chest support. I mean support. From chests. Er, the pubic… PUBLIC!

    One thing that restores my faith in America a bit is that all polls indicate that Huckabee is going to get his clock cleaned tomorrow. Most likely he will only win in Arkansas, which has a proportional delegate system anyway. Hear that hissing sound? It’s the relevance rapidly escaping from Huckabee’s campaign.

  16. tacitus says

    It’s a shame Huckabee is still in the race. By doing so, he’s ensuring that the most electable Republican wins their nomination, which is a dangerous thing since McCain seems to be intent on keeping us in the middle of an unending war in Iraq. Not to mention his recent promises to the wingnuts on the type of judges he’d nominate to the Supreme Court.

    #12, I’d think the sight of Pee Zed wearing a miniskirt would be a rather significant turn off, turn about, and run away as fast as you can.

    Well, I’d convert, but I’m pretty sure that if my wife ever found out I voted for the Huckster, the only action I’d ever get again would be watching that video.

    I think it’s funny that some people don’t get this is a spoof.

    That’s because they don’t know the abovementioned Obama girl.

    Speaking of which… where is that video? I mean, strictly for… research… comparison purposes, I mean.

    This was actually really well done. I found the whole Obama girl thing to be a bit dumb.

    I think it’s pretty funny how much better this format works for making a parody of candidates than it does for actually promoting them.
