I pretty much ignored the Iowa Freedom Summit this weekend because I needed a break from stupid shit, but it was quite the spectacle. Mike Huckabee’s performance was emblematic of the rampant lunacy and incoherence on display:
“It was the best six and a half years of working with some of the greatest people on earth,” Huckabee said, going on at some length about how happy he was at the [FOX News] network. Huckabee then offered some of his trademark folksiness, like this: “If you’re gonna have some sausage, you’ve got to kill some pigs. And folks, there are a lot of people in America who want the sausage, they just don’t want to kill any pigs. We need to do some pig killing, to get to the sausage.”
In Iowa, “You kno’ its hard out here for a pig when you tryna get this money for the campaign.” If they’re not getting castrated, they’re getting killed.
