“C’mon guys. For reals I am so serious.”

proudgrampa November 9, 2009 at 12:34 pm

Deja vu. All over again. And again.

Lascauxcaveman November 9, 2009 at 12:34 pm

In a related story, Politico claims to be serious, too.

Aflac Shrugged November 9, 2009 at 12:34 pm

Don’t worry, Mike. Soon the Republican Party will realize the all-you-can-eat buffet of ideas they’ve got in you.

-ly obese”

I’m so serious I even have the endorsement of CHUCK FREAKIN NORRIS XD Now listen to this sweet song I wrote about how even Jesus struggled to resist the temptation of fast food

Humpback November 9, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Well, it’s about time! Enough fooling around, I say.

comicbookguy November 9, 2009 at 12:36 pm

I’m super cereal guys! And no one believes even when I say I’m super cereal!

Sussemilch November 9, 2009 at 12:37 pm

What, no more fat jokes?

Jim Demintia November 9, 2009 at 12:37 pm

That is the tragedy of bearing a striking resemblance to Gomer Pyle.

Scarab November 9, 2009 at 12:37 pm

Wait, I thought he was a character on a cereal box. You know some sort of talking honey bee.

HomoPolitico November 9, 2009 at 12:39 pm

Mike Huckabee is serious business.

shadowMark November 9, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Where does Huckabee stand on the Coin Conspiracy?

memzilla November 9, 2009 at 12:41 pm

Huckabee “…began polishing [his showbiz side] as a teenage disc jockey in Hope, Ark.”

No f***ing way is this country gonna elect two presidents who came from this Ozark Podunk.

And you know who else polished his showbiz side… ?

Country Club Jihadi November 9, 2009 at 12:42 pm

SRSLY U GUYS.

Serolf Divad November 9, 2009 at 12:45 pm

No, dude I’m like… totally serious this time.

hockeymom November 9, 2009 at 12:46 pm

Then how does he explain those striped shirts in the family Christmas card?

PsycGirl November 9, 2009 at 12:48 pm

Somehow that line puts me in mind of those kid magazines like “Tiger Beat” where one member of every band is the serious one

Cape Clod November 9, 2009 at 12:49 pm

I’m serious so take me seriously, goddamnit. Now let me take goofy picture with my fat family wearing ridiculous matching clothing.

you cannot be serious November 9, 2009 at 12:49 pm

I’m serious about happy hour at KFC. Seriously.

No more striped shirts for me EVAR.

Fox n Fiends November 9, 2009 at 12:52 pm

my fave “Mike Moment” was during his RNC speech when he claimed that Obama’s European PR Tour meant that he would bring those “European Values” back to America with him. You know, like 8 weeks vacation, affordable health care, drinking wine during lunch, etc…

octupletsmom November 9, 2009 at 12:54 pm

Isn’t the dude in a banjo band?

germansteel November 9, 2009 at 12:54 pm

Well. So long as he says “very,” I guess we have to take him at his word.

Nothing spells gravitas quite like whining and stomping your feet about it.

bago November 9, 2009 at 1:04 pm

Aww, cmon Mike. Why so serious?

bitchincamaro November 9, 2009 at 1:04 pm

Serious as in “ready to grovel and whore for whoever, whatever is willing to finance my guaranteed to fail attempt at becoming the Washington insider I so clearly crave to be”?

Serious the way a genital discharge which is accompanied by itching and burning sensations is serious?

tiny mexican November 9, 2009 at 1:09 pm

You know what he hasn’t done for a while? Gratuitously insult Mittens. I’m just sayin’!

the problem child November 9, 2009 at 1:09 pm

“Huckabee reads everything written about him and asks his daughter to explain attacks on the obscurest blogs.”

Everyone be nice, Huckabee’s daughter is going to have to wade through all our obscure shit, trying to explain it to him.

Extemporanus November 9, 2009 at 1:11 pm

But he’s not “dour”.

Also from the article: ““I’m glad she’s getting the props — I know I’m not nearly as attractive,” he said with a guileless grin.”

Huhk’s recipe for deepfried guile on a stick is absolutely delicious.

Extemporanus November 9, 2009 at 1:16 pm

[re=453924]comicbookguy[/re]: Why so cereal?

trondant November 9, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Guys, don’t make Mike take off his belt and come after us – he might get a heart attack chasing us around.

user-of-owls November 9, 2009 at 1:19 pm

[re=453984]Extemporanus[/re]: But he’s not “dour”.

So his slogan’s gonna be, “Vote Huckabee! The Anti-Gordon Brown!”

Or maybe given his proclivities, it would be more Alton, than Gordon.

President Beeblebrox November 9, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Oh, if someone could only make a Y SO SRS image macro for the world’s best political family photo, EVAR…

[re=453983]the problem child[/re]: What the Huck?

[annotation: The 'joke' here, such as it is, is that Huck rhymes with Fuck. You're welcome Mike.]

SayItWithWookies November 9, 2009 at 1:27 pm

As serious as a talk-show host who plays bass in a band that does absolutely the whitest version of “Take Me to the River” could be.

[re=453989]trondant[/re]: I doubt Huckabee wears belts. Belt sizes only go to size 50.

lawrenceofthedesert November 9, 2009 at 1:34 pm

But seriously, Mike, how about those Republicans? Their political philosophy is so old, we call it Palintology! I love this crowd! Hey, there’s O’Reilly, he’s a serious journalist! (and I’ve got a Brooklyn Bridge I’d like ta sellya…) And how about Larry Craig — he was serious, but wouldn’t admit it! You’re killin’ me!! But seriously, Mike…

El Pinche November 9, 2009 at 1:40 pm

[re=454003]the problem child[/re]: *wipes tears* I’ll never forget the commenter who said those elbow pads were blueberry pie stains. Hahaha…oh, the mammaries (or man-maries).

JMP November 9, 2009 at 1:41 pm

The sad thing is, he’s no less serious than any of the other likely 2012 Republicans.

[re=453961]chascates[/re]: Tim LaHaye? Ugh; what does it say about the GOP when their potential leaders are pallin’ around with nutjobs. Israelis, remember the guy only supports you because he thinks you have an important part to play in bringing about the end of the world, when you’ll all die horribly; he ain’t your friend.

user-of-owls November 9, 2009 at 1:43 pm

[re=454005]El Pinche[/re]: I doubt Huckabee wears belts.

He does too. He even has a favorite brand: Conveyor.

thesheriffisnear November 9, 2009 at 1:44 pm

It won’t work. Its like Hee Haw trying to be serious.

My favorite Mike Huckabee quote is “Congratulations Canada on preserving your National Igloo”. Of course watching “Talking to Americans” invariably caused me to be proud to be from the States.

Mr Blifil November 9, 2009 at 2:03 pm

hobospacejunkie November 9, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Huckabee is talking seriously, of course, about Manbearpig: half man, half bear & half pig.

[re=454054]Gumboz1953[/re]: The Monkee fans might protest comparing him to Mike Huckabee. Maybe the guitarist for Hanson or any member of Air Supply?

[re=454049]inedalo[/re]: The Huckabees don’t anthropmorphize their pets — it just makes it harder to cook and eat them. They had to use a really heavy Stroganoff sauce just to get their last cocker spaniel down.

[re=454088]user-of-owls[/re]: Except that Mike Nesmith had talent — probably still does — and didn’t weigh 572 pounds. Even on earth.

Okay, I know I brought him up, but let’s leave the Monkees alone now, or my 13-year-old self will come here from 1966 and beat us all over the head with a black South Central Bell rotary phone. I don’t want that to happen.

[re=454119]Gumboz1953[/re]: I finally met Peter Tork about 5 years ago. I was speechless but finally got his autograph- no chance of that in 1966. I was in NYC last month and Davy Jones was playing at some restaurant/club near Times Square. Mickey Dolenz was in Aida on Broadway sometime in the past 5-6 years. I think Mike is the only one who doesn’t perform anymore. I think this is all more important and serious than Huck

LowerdPeninsula November 9, 2009 at 11:02 pm

The Democrats are as spineless as ever, but watching this clusterfuck that is the Republican Party is just downright depressing. I’m actually one of those folks that think we need a healthy opposition, but the GOP is so far from ever being called “healthy” it’s not even funny.
