When Political Nanny tires of the Democrats' bickering and John McCain's tough talk, she seeks out her little Mike Huckabee. Oh, that boy is good for some laughs. Just look at the fun they're having with him on the plane.
While airborne and unable to use their cellphone and blackberries, Huckabee's campaign staff and the traveling press try to get a little sleep. The tireless, instead trade sleep for shenanigans. Their favorite: taping hand-written signs to sleeping passengers.
It used to be just the traveling press corps. Lately, everybody is free game. Here are some recent big "gets."
From ABC.com's Political Radar:
Some good examples of late are Chuck Norris
with a sign that read "MH (Mike Huckabee) Can Beat Me Up" or Minute Man
Project founder Jim Gilchrist with a sign that read "This Suit Made in
Mexico".
Recently, Sarah Huckabee, Mike's daughter and a senior level staffer, got the biggest get of all: Huckabee.
Again, Political Radar:
As former governor Mike Huckabee slept, his daughter Sarah snuck a sign
near him reading: "If I Close My Eyes This Feels like Air Force One".
Come on. That's tons more fun than good music or Jack Nicholson. Tons more fun.
Political Nanny's getting a little punchy. When's the next big primary, again? Or that's right, it's now, right now! Better line up the Kleenax and prep the good-bye bags.
