Rev. Huckabee has some real questions to answer on his foreign policy experience. But the charge he is a blame America firster doesn't hunt.

After reading the comments on this statement I suggest y'all switch to de-caf.

I've used "apologies" instead of "condolences" before, but that huge screw-up bothers me greatly.

there's no way this was "misspoken". And if it was, it's even worse. The man is a simpleton fool.

I can live with him making a speech error. He still seems to be a man who lives by his convictions.

I don't generally agree with his convictions, if his Foreign Affairs article is any indication. He seems singularly unprepared to be President.

There is no President but Lincoln, and Reagan is his prophet

As in he takes money to pardon those with convictions.

choose wrong words when communicating about volatile and dangerous foreign problems.

When a person says "I'm sorry for your loss," that means the person is expressing "sorrow," NOT apologizing.

Explicitly using the word "apologies" means "we apologize," NOT "we are expressing sorrow."

As a pastor, Huck MOST DEFINITELY knows the difference. One of the primary duties of a pastor is to console people after suffering the loss of loved ones by death.

He knew what he was saying. He just didn't think quickly enough to realize he should say out loud what he honestly believes.

-- digitalhap

Pardon my typo. My last sentence should have read:

"He didn't think quickly enough to realize he shouldn't say out loud what he honestly believes."

-- digitalhap

Not Ready for Prime Time Players for Saturday Night Live -- with all of Huckabee's jokes he fits better fit at Thirty Rock instead of 1600 Penn.

No apology is the wrong word -- and uttered at the wrong time. Remember the blame America first crowd is out there and this is the type of word the opens up their BS.

... as in press release? If so, it seems possible that what is released by the campaign differs from what was actually said in person, cleaned up and polished for print media. That wouldn't be a bad thing for a campaign to do, of course, but it may mean that CBS is still right about the words that actually left Governor Huckabee's mouth.

You guys don't read much, or very well, do you?

1. The "apology" comment occured at an airport gathering of his supporters.
2. The statement he issued is just that. A statement from his staff.

As far as showing The Huckster to be a buffoon, all I have to do is report what he's done/said. He covers the details on that account very well. Pretty much like you showing off your inability to do reading comprehension.

There's nothing wrong with his written statement - likely prepared by others. He just isn't bright enough to know when to keep his mouth shut.

MBecker908, you could not be more right about the Huckster. I am a Christian, but I don't appreciate him wearing God on his sleeve as if he is the only one who's a real Christian. He is a donkey in loose fitting elephant clothing, and I hope people see through his charade before it's too late. Everything is in flux right now, and I see Fred benefitting more that anyone else from divine providence's Huckabust.

a statement isn't the same thing as the camera face time. I have listened to 7+ years of all of the comments about Bush making some gaffe here and there and cringed each time. When it is necessary to make an unprepared remark Huckabee's instinct is to come out with an apology. Words have meaning and apology was the wrong word.

The story isn't about what word was used in some press release... it's about what he said to a specific group of people at a specific place.

No longer must we wonder what Huck means when he says something in an interview. Pay no attention to the man in front of the curtain. All we need to do is go straight to Huck's website and read the press release version. It's like having your very own Huckabee Rosetta Stone™. Now I know I'll always be able to find out what Huck really means when he speaks.

Here's the final paragraph of the official statement:

I believe that we are currently engaged in a world war. Radical Islamic fascists have declared war on our country and our way of life. They have sworn to annihilate each of us who believe in a free society, all in the name of a perversion of religion and an impersonal god. We go to great extremes to save lives, they go to great extremes to take them. This war is not a conventional war, and these terrorists are not a conventional enemy. We must fight the war on terror with the intensity and single-mindedness that it deserves.

does anyone else think that the phrase "...we are reminded that while our democracy has flaws..." is very strange, especially in light of the context of the statement? Whether or not it is true, why bring it up here and now? I find this to be very odd and a little bit disheartening.

Its these little nuanced statements that Huckabee makes that are a window into his mind. Whenever you hear him speak, there always seems to be something that's just not quite right.

==== 13 ====

One assumes that a written statement has some thought and purpose. This isn't an off the cuff remark. Why would he/the campaign feel the need to jab at our democratic process when the point was to remark on the mess in Pakistan?

It is monarchical and aristocratical government only that requires ignorance for its support.
- Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1792

he buys into the democrat argument that the country has been going in the wrong direction and needs significant change. The reason the MSM likes him so much is he parrots their talking points. He mixes in enough "conservative buzzwords" so he can later say he was taken out of context. And if that doesn't work, he just says, "but hey, I'm pro-life!"

I'm thinking Carter.

They sure did come boilin' out of the Huckabeehive with that press release, didn't they?

I think that Carter would at least have been aware that martial law was lifted a couple of weeks ago. Huckabee seems frustratingly unfamiliar with world affairs.

I know that campaigning for President takes a lot of time, but knowledge of world affairs seems pretty central to that tast. This isn't the first time that Huckabee has seemed strangely unaware of what is going on in the world, and that worries me.

Who was he apologizing to, and for what?

don't you think he would have elaborated, even just a little? It makes much more sense that when making an impromptu statement regarding a tragedy that he chose an ambiguous word. No smoke, no fire.

Agreed,

But the Huckabotts all seem to imply that they know what he really meant. I don't. So I'm asking: who was he apologizing to and for what?

...he didn't mean to apologize for the US (which I think he did) giving him the benefit of the doubt -- This is the umpteenth time the man has misspoken and needed clarification!!! Haven't we had enough of that already?

You're not really suggesting these campaigns shouldn't be analyzing what the man says?

If you're somehow suggesting that there's organized media opposition you couldn't be more wrong...he's only enjoying his new found position because of said media!

by the Huckabee campaign and plenty of people on this site. I am not going to attempt to define the term, I only used it in the sense that he is the anti-establishment candidate. I DON"T SUPPORT HUCKABEE, but rather than focus on one word, shouldn't we as a party be looking at the bigger picture? That this reminder of terrorism and global affairs might very well torpedo Huckabee and other candidates who are viewed as being deficient on foreign policy knowledge and experience? I think this changes the race substantially, and not in Huckabee's favor - but let's not get hung up on deciphering every word and/or phrase.

but I was just going to say he either meant "apologies" and is an idiot, or meant "sympathies" and is NOT a great communicator.

Either way, Fred's off-the-cuff remarks were measured, concise and intelligent and Huck's were not.

You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.

I had a physics professor in college and a medical school professor who were both firm believers in Occam's Razor.

William of Ockham was a fourteenth century English logician and Franciscan friar who came up with the principle which stated that, "All other things being equal, the simplest explanation is usually the best one." This principle also states that, "Explanations of any phenomenon should make as few ASSUMPTIONS as possible."

So, let's see what the simplest explanation to Huckabee's using the word "apologies" is. Is it--

A.) That Huck pretends to be a social conservative pastor, but he secretly hates America and feels that the US and George Bush are somehow involved in, or responsible for, Bhutto's assassination and, therefore, feels that the US should apologize for her death.

B.) That he used the word "apologies" when he meant to say "sympathies" or "condolences".

Personally, I think that if you applied Occam's Razor to this scenario, then the correct answer would obviously be B. However, if you are currently sitting in a dark room listening to Pink Floyd while staring at a lava lamp, or trying to play a Beatles's album backwards in order to hear "Paul is dead", then you might think that the correct answer is A.

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

So, Virgil, you actually think that Huckabee intended to apologize to Pakistan? You're going to stick with this being the "simplest explanation"? Really?

The following is a quote from George W. Bush--
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5613296/

So, according to you, the simplest explanation for Bush's statement is not that he made a mistake and misspoke--even though it's extremely easy to do and people (and politicians) misspeak all the time. So, do you, also, think that Bush "never stops thinking about new ways to harm our country"?

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. Don't stare too long at the lava lamp.

1. Nobody on this thread has indicated that The Huckster hates America.
2. The issue does not revolve around whether or not he actually thinks the US owes Pakistan an apology.
3. The Hucksters have made great hay about what a fantastic communicator the man is, especially when compared to GWB.
4. Every other day - or so it seems - he bounds out and makes some stupid statement that requires serious explanation from his campaign.
5. He is a foreign policy pinhead.

When Romney misspeaks and implies that his sons helping out with his campaign is analogous to the soldiers serving in the Iraq war, then he's not stupid or a bad communicator--he just misspoke.

However, when Huck uses the word "apologies" when he clearly meant to say "sympathies", then he's a terrible communicator even though he's won a lot of the debates. I don't know what that says about the other guys in the debates if Huck's supposed to be so bad. Oh, who cares--that doesn't matter. Huck misspoke, and no other politician ever misspeaks except Mike Huckabee--so he must be a big stupid idiot/pinhead. Not to mention, his supporters must all be morons too. It doesn't matter that you guys have never, ever passed up the opportunity to call Huck and his supporters stupid. But, hey, this really proves you guys correct. Huck used the wrong word in a sentence--what an idiot!! God, how could I ever have supported him. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways.

Oh, and I guess that it doesn't matter that Huck has pretty much the same foreign policy experience that Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W Bush had. I guess it, also, doesn't matter that he's got the same foreign policy experience that Mitt Romney has and more than twice the gubernatorial experience. He said "apologies", instead of "sympathies", so he's a big fat stupidhead.

Reagan was well known in international circles and on the national stage before 1980. His anti-communism speaches put him in contact with many world leaders (including Margaret Thatcher) before he ran for President.

It is not accurate to compare Reagan with Huckabee in terms of pre-presidential foreign policy experience.

And that makes my point, i.e. that it is not experience that makes for a good foreign policy. It's judgment. Its the lessons one learns from history and human nature.

All the cold war presidents before Reagan had more so-called experience than him, but it was Reagan that understood economics, the power of the call of God and freedom to the human heart, the power of deterrance, the power of shame (evil empire), etc

I was Reagan that waited 20 years to whisper to Gorby: We win, you lose.

I've made no comparison to any other candidate, I've taken Huck on his own. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've made a comparison to another candidate in any comments or blogs. Your bringing Mitt into this discussion is pointless. Expected, but pointless.

I don't happen to like Mitt much so any comparison on my part would likely be negative. As a matter of fact, I have one common complaint with both Mitt & Huck. They both have extensive political experience compromising with Democrats. In their particular states that may well be necessary, but in Washington it's an act of political suicide.

With respect to the example you picked about Mitt and his sons, I happen to think that was one of the more stupid statements I've heard in recent times and I'm pretty sure I said so at the time. There is a difference however, and you are obviously too dense to figure it out. The Pakistan remark has to do with foreign affairs and stuff like that gets lots of press and gets the opportunity to offend our allies(?) and are typically rather difficult to "take back".

With respect to the incident in question, the whole point - again - is that you Huckabots have gone out of your way to crow about how Huck is the Great Communicator. In fact, given his performance on the campaign trail, he's no better than GWB.

With respect to you comments comparing his foreign policy experience to Reagan, Clinton and GWB, you've obviously not thought that one through. Clinton's FP was a freaking disaster. We'll never know about GWB's FP because of the war. Bottom line, he's no shining star. I'll toss in Carter, who actually made Clinton look good. And then there's Reagan. Did he have actual, hands on experience? No. Did he have extraordinarily well thought out FP policy ideas that he had worked on for years and then turned into a FP that won the Cold War? Yes he did. He was arguably better grounded in FP before he took office than either Carter or Clinton when they left office.

Bottom line... The Huckster is not the "Great Communicator", he's just a smooth talker. Not that you would know the difference. And, in point of fact, based on his attempts at both FP speeches and his recent published articles, he's a pinhead when it comes to FP. I mean really, when asked who he looked to for FP advice he named Frank Gaffney and Thomas Friedman. Neither of whom are on any kind of FP advisory team and who hold positions that could be said to be diametrically opposed on most issues.

I would assume - always gets me in trouble - that when The Huckster gets his head handed to him after Iowa that you'll be going back to the Democratic Party where thought processes like you've demonstrated here are both welcomed and standard practice. Have a nice day.

CongressCritter™: Never have so few felt like they were owed so much by so many for so little.

First of all, only an idiot would think that listening to two opposing viewpoints would be a bad thing. Do Dick Cheney and Colin Powell see eye to eye on all foreign policy matters? Do Cheney and James Bakers agree on everything? No one person can know everything. Therefore, even a foreign policy expert, like George H W Bush, must solicit a wide range of viewpoints when making foreign policy decisions. In fact, many Republicans think that the Iraq war has been badly mismanaged. Many people attribute that to Bush relying too heavily on one group of people with similar viewpoints--i.e., Cheney and Rumsfeld. On a side note, Gaffney and Friedman were both initially in favor of the Iraq war.

Second of all, only an idiot would think that by verbally abusing someone and calling them an "Idiot", you would make your point, or convince people that you're right. Good God, man--you sound like a six year old.

Thanks for proving my point.

1. Not only is there nothing wrong with hearing opposing points of view, it's a really good thing. The PROBLEM occurs when POTUS makes a decision and the guy who's opinion was rejected goes off the reservation and opposes the decision covertly while remaining a part of the "team". See Colin Powell.

Bush did the right thing with Baker. Gave him a "commission", let him make a complete fool of himself and ignored him. With luck, we won't be hearing from Baker & Co again.

With respect to your comments about soliciting a wide range of viewpoints, again, in principle you're right. I would point out that Rudy and Fred have both done that - months ago - and have staffed their advisory teams with real policy heavyweights in several areas including foreign policy, economic/tax policy and judicial policy/appointments. So far The Huckster has booked several nights at Holiday Inn Express. His policy advisors are... oh yeah, nonexistent.

With respect to the Iraq War and it's handling, count me in among the folks who didn't like the first few years. At the end of the day though, the only thing that matters is who wins and it looks likes General Petraeus has turned that corner. Fortunately, even though I didn't like the order of battle, our losses were miniscule and in the long run, things appear that they may well turn out for the best. Of course, partisan Democrats and idiots will never figure that one out.

With respect to Gaffney and Friedman, once again you've completely missed the point. The point is this: Huckabee has thus far spent about an hour with Gaffney, randomly seated with him at some dinner or another. I doubt he's ever met Friedman. He's just read some of their stuff - probably at a Holiday Inn Express. The guy has no FP or military advisors, and the result is apparent in his speeches and his writing. He's an ignorant fool. Now, don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with ignorance, it can be cured by surrounding yourself with people who actually are knowledgable. Huck's problem is that he's not smart enough to do that. But then again, he not only stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, he went to Bible College (his comment, one of the debates).

Finally, pointing out that you are an idiot is not a matter of verbal abuse, it's simply pointing out a fact. Deal with, or not. I don't care one way or the other. You've pretty well established your cred as a Huckabot with no conservative leanings and, in general, a whiner. But that's what we expect from Democrats.

Mbecker, here is a direct quote from you:

--"With respect to the Iraq War and it's handling, count me in among the folks who didn't like the first few years. At the end of the day though, the only thing that matters is who wins and it looks likes General Petraeus has turned that corner.

Of course, partisan Democrats and idiots will never figure that one out."--

I think that you misspoke--or at least I hope that you did. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, which is more than you've given Huck. I have a brother that has served seven years in the navy, and is currently in the reserves, and I have two cousins fighting in Iraq as we speak. If I lost anyone of them, I can assure you that the loss would not be "minuscule". Petraeus has turned a corner, and I am extremely grateful to him. However, make no mistake--the losses and sacrifices of those heroic soldiers and families are anything but "minuscule".

PS--You're still and idiot, but not because you misspoke about this.

I'll fill you in. We are a Marine Corps family. When he was on active duty my son was a SpOps team leader with 2/4. His unit did two tours in the Sunni Triangle and they hold the dubious record for combat losses. I've been to more military funerals ad counseled with more Gold Star families than I care to think about. Every soldier, sailor & Marine is a percious commodity to me and the loss of one is a personal tragedy for their families and loved ones.

What I was referring to in my "miniscule losses" comment was the total number of combat losses and injuries requiring transport out of theater. We've been in Iraq over five years and out losses are less than the landings on Iwo Jima, Okinawa or D-Day. Take a look at the Battle of the Bulge where we sustained over 50,000 casualties in a little more than a week. Or in Vietnam when the body counts were running from 500 to 800 a week.

My point was that, while I disapprove of the order of battle, the military has done an exceptional job of keeping our guys alive and in one piece. Also, it's interesting that with the surge our casualties have gone down not up even though we have more guys operationally in harms way.

To reinterate, my comment was related to the order of battle and our very low combat loss rate, not the loss of an individual soldier.

Considering where the good doctor's head was, when practicing medicine, is it any wonder that the man has issues?

I also know you would NEVER disparage the sacrifices of our troops, and we are indebted to your family's service.

My only point was that it is very easy to misspeak or to have comments misinterpreted. If any presidential candidate used the term "minuscule" to describe the losses in Iraq (even how you meant it), his/her presidential aspirations would be over-- stick a fork in them, they would be done. You know it, I know it, Franz knows it.

So cut Huck some slack--he made a mistake. He is only human, just like you, me, and Franz (my husband says I treat my dog like a person, and I am sure that you do too).

Their words go beyond hurt feelings when it comes to the kind of gaffes Huck's been up to.

Gaffe aside, he is still either totally ignorant on FA or he's plain stupid based on his speechs and his writing on the subject.

Being able to eloquently express a point of view completely devoid of reason does not make one something other than an idiot. An eloquent idiot perhaps, but an idiot nonetheless.

Thanks GC for the vote of confidence--I try my best to be a decent contributor. Sorry to be so late to respond, but I've been out of pocket and haven't had a lot of access to a computer recently. Yesterday, I was on a plane all day traveling home from Texas. The days before that, were New Year's day and New Year's Eve--enough said. And, then, my birthday was December 30th. In a nutshell, I've been busy. I hope that you, and everyone at RS, had a Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year's Eve.

wish you and he good luck. He's not my top pick, but he has a lot of great qualities as a person and a lot to offer the GOP and America.

I thought that Huck did a great job on the tonight show--I just knew he was going to play his guitar. However, in all fairness, The Tonight Show is really the perfect venue for someone like Huck. Therefore, I was slightly more impressed with his MTP appearance.

On a side note, I wish you and Fred good luck. Whatever happens, Fred and Huck are both good men (and good Tonight Show guests), and I'm sure that they both will be fine. Have a great night.

Leno!

vote for Fred.

And as far as Huck beating any Dem, that vote tally would make '64 look like a clear win for Goldwater.
