Fred Thompson Apologizes To Huckabee
Posted on December 13, 2007
Well, first we had Huckabee apologizing to Mitt over religion, then Hillary apologizing to Obama over drug use. It seems to be a political trend this season. Now we have Fred Thompson apologizing to Huckabee.
In light of Mike Huckabee’s heartfelt apology to Mitt Romney for making reference to Romney’s religion in the New York Times Magazine, we at the Thompson Campaign would like to offer Huckabee our own heartfelt apologies for some references we’ve made about his record as Governor of Arkansas.
We apologize for pointing out that as Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee offered in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. That’s something he’d probably just as soon no one talk about.
A recent Washington Post-ABC News Iowa poll of Iowans likely to vote in the Republican caucus stated illegal immigration as their top issue of concern, tied with the war in Iraq.
We apologize for pointing out that in 2002 Huckabee wrote Pres. Bush a letter asking him to lift the Cuban embargo. It’s easy to see how Huckabee might have missed the finer points of a 40-year embargo. While he obviously knew enough about the embargo to ask that it be lifted, Huckabee clearly didn’t know enough to ask that it not be lifted. So for that, we’re sorry.
Read the whole thing. He goes on to apologize for pointing out the 47% tax increase Huckabee imposed on Arkansas taxpayers, and more…
Don’t look now, but I think Fred may be on a roll. Its about time.

Folq who run for national office suffer from
unpardonable dullness. They are human barbituates.
Drab. Boring. Awful.
They should be ignored, quarantined and then deported.
