Huckabee in the News
Posted by Joy Bischoff under: What's News .
Fox News is an important vehicle for conservative thought and opinion shaping. I hate to see someone who disdains Mitt Romney so vehemently as Huckabee become part of that opinion shaping. Not only that, but he is not a true conservative in many areas and I personally will never value his opinion. He has proven himself to be dishonest and vindictive.
Huckabee joining Fox News as political commentator
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -
Mike Huckabee, a former Republican presidential hopeful, has been hired by Fox News Channel as a political commentator.
“Gov. Huckabee’s campaign experience and knowledge of politics makes him a great addition to our ongoing election coverage,” Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming, said in a statement Thursday.
Huckabee, who served as governor of Arkansas for 10 1/2 years, dropped out of the race in March, after John McCain won enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination. Despite a financially strapped campaign, Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states.
“I hope to bring the unique perspective from `inside the dragon’s belly’ as well as to try and speak for the millions of hardworking middle-class Americans who really do feel that their voices are not being heard,” Huckabee said in a statement released by his daughter, Sarah. “I saw that on the campaign trail and continue to see as I speak to groups of all kinds around the country as well as campaign for other candidates.”
Financial terms of the agreement weren’t released.
Huckabee, an ordained Baptist preacher, has been mentioned as a potential running mate for McCain. Since leaving the race, Huckabee has formed a political action committee that he says will help raise money for McCain and other Republicans.

So today the media loses one giant and gains another though I won’t say what kind of a giant Huckabee is. Trying to be nice here.
