Tuesday’s Tidbits

Mike Huckabee responds to Novak’s “anonymous sourcing”:

An Anonymous Source - From TDL

“On another note, I was very disturbed by a column by Robert Novak that quoted some “anonymous source” in saying that while I strongly supported Senator McCain, I thought that maybe America “deserves Obama,” as if to say that I secretly hoped he won.
Where do people dream up this stuff? Forget the “anonymous” sources—there’s nothing anonymous about my stand and here it is. We don’t “deserve” Obama—we DESERVE a President with the character, convictions, experience, and wisdom to see the problems we face and try to lead us to solve them. We deserve a President who truly loves this country and from whom there is no doubt as to his respect for Faith, Family, and the kind of Freedom that those before us have given their lives to pass on to us. John McCain meets that criteria and that’s why I am campaigning for him and not hoping for Obama. The nonsense that I want Obama to win this year so I can run in 2012 is absurd. I love my country more than my own ambition. So let the record and truth be clear. And let the “anonymous” sources either show the courage to stand up and be accountable for their comments or shut up and leave commentary to people who aren’t afraid of their own shadow. “Full article at Huck Pac

He uses borrowed speeches and slogans from Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (check his record thus far. Obama’s problem is not that he is black, it is that he might just be incompetent to lead the country. Citing Anonymous sources, white, working class, gun-toting and bible hugging fanatics, dinner party conversations and a host of other ridiculous babble, the progressives apparently are out of options. They still have an option, yet, they refuse to acknowledge a woman, to the possible ruination of their party and yet another loss in the fall - this time - to McCain.

Anyone else insulted by the articles titles? Apparently, a woman is characterized in negative terms, while, the male on the ticket is given a pass and a parcel of excuses as to why he may or may not understand that there are 50 states in the Union.
