Humor: Huckabee Hypocrisy Over Attack Ad

[Schneibster]

Mike Huckabee announces to reporters at a press conference that he's pulling an attack ad in Iowa against Romney, then proceeds to show it to them as they laugh their heads off. To top it all off, he can't get his projector to work. What a maroon.

I think it is an interesting tactic, but it seems to have been found out.

If he never wanted the add to air, erase the tape or burn it.

But no, he had to show the press how good a guy he is by not airing an attack add.

Gee, maybe I should run for President by producing a loaded pistol, and crowing about how nice I am not to shoot Kinky Friedman.

Not the cleverest ploy, for sure.

I thought it was pretty clever. Got an ad you want to run all over the country but don't have the money to pay for it to run? You got a better way to get it aired for free?

Huckabee is a hypocrite,but I think we can say that about just about every politician running for President,including the sainted Ron Paul.
I am not letting Huckabee off the hook,but when it comes to the hypocrisy of denoucing Negative advertising while trying to find a way to indulge in it without being blamed for it,he is no worse then a lot of the politicians out there.

Despite Huckabee's assertion to the media that it would not be aired, it was or is being aired. Newsweek has taken their gloves off and is going after Huckabee on the MSNBC site:

Be a Democrat?

Just kidding.

As to how the Huckster gets free ad time, no, I don't have a better way, so if that was the aim, it was well played albeit transparent.
