IT'S LIKE A FREE-FOR-ALL ON THE HUCKSTER

Please don't misunderstand me as being in any sense a supporter of Huckabee but I am annoyed that he's getting questions Pres. Fredo should've gotten in 1999 and 2000. Consider these digs from CBS News:

He was also asked if today’s news highlights why the next President needs to have foreign policy, which he lacks.

He made a bad choice of words when saying the U.S. needs to consider “what impact does it have on whether or not there’s going to be martial law continuing in Pakistan.” He should have said whether or not martial law will be reinstated – it was lifted nearly two weeks ago. A minor slip, maybe, but not a subject he wants to mess up on when he is already considered weak in the area of foreign policy.

Marc Armbinder at The Atlantic Monthly is even worse:

It's not the mistake itself that will raise eyebrowses -- it's Huckabee's lack of intellectual ease, his lack of felicity, with foreign policy at a critical moment when everyone is paying attention.
