Huckabee: Uh, what's an NIE?

Seems Mike Huckabee never heard of the NIE.

   DES MOINES - Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Tuesday he was unfamiliar with the National Intelligence Estimate that reported that Iran had not had a program to develop nuclear weapons since 2003, and he questioned the intelligence work behind it.

   Asked by reporters if he had been briefed on the summary of the report, which was declassified and released Monday, Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, said "No." Informed of its content by reporters, he said he agreed with President Bush, who said that Iran remains a threat.

They're going to nominate this guy.

I really think they will. Sorry for the short post, but this was on Tweetie while I was working around the house (which I can't sell), and I'm sick enough of house work to sit for a second and say, they're going to love this guy. He's right of Bush on social issues, and right there with him on foreign policy. The American Taliban loves this guy, and now even Grover has forgiven him for his fiscal sins.

What's better, though, is that he doesn't care about facts, and that's what they love the most. That's what makes Colbert so damn funny. He gets the premise. Facts don't matter. It gets you around evolution, WMD, climate change, and all kinds of other fun things that make your buddies the recipients of the largest rip off of taxpayers in the history of government.
