Reagan or Carter? Part Two

It turns out that Mike Huckabee’s lame discussion of foreign policy with Don Imus was a repeat performance. Huckabee previously appeared with Imus on October 26, 2006.

So, while Huckabee’s jokes haven’t evolved, his thinking about Iraq has. He’s progressed from James Baker (have Iran bail us out) to Colin Powell (we broke it, we own it). But he’s still nowhere near John McCain (let’s defeat our enemies).
