Fouling the waters
Rich politicelebrity Mike Huckabee, whose official residence is a multimillion-dollar Florida beach house, simply cannot understand why Governor Rick Scott is less popular than butt acne:
“You’re doing a lot of things people had hoped you would do, and yet (your) approval rating recently has not been steller [sic],” Huckabee said. “And I’m stunned as to why.”
And Scott is doing a lot of things Florida residents such as Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge and Ann Coulter hoped he would do, like attempting to auction off disabled orphans’ crutches and wheelchairs to zero out one of the nation’s lowest corporate tax rates and completing the pauperization of the state’s already impoverished public school system.
And yet ungrateful proles like Florida cops and teachers are suing the governor, and a blind peasant woman is even invoking a Monty Python movie in a lawsuit to challenge Scott’s “supreme executive power.”
Republican presidential candidates are avoiding Scott like a case of the clap, and the chief beneficiary of the Scott administration so far appears to be President Obama’s reelection campaign. All of which prompts former governor Huckleberry to reach deep into his overalls and scratch himself in puzzlement. Why, why, why? Ah yes, Palin’s favorite piñata—the media:
“What is it about the newspapers and the press there that just seems to want to ignore the obvious of the positive successes that Florida is experiencing?” Huckabee asked Scott.
When Scott turned the question back to his own message about competing for jobs, Huckabee predicted that Scott’s endorsement will be a prize for GOP presidential contenders.
“Can I tell you that every one of them are going to want it and they would be proud to have it and anyone else who thinks otherwise is simply an idiot,” Huckabee said. “And I’ll say that about the newspaper who had the audacity to put that headline in there.”
Yep, Republicans will be proud to climb into the Scott-beshitted fishbowl come 2012, and luckily for them, the RNC convention will be right here in Florida, where almost half of all home mortgages are underwater. We’ll be grateful for that water eventually, as we may need to run it through a Britta filter and drink it.
