Mike Huckabee doesn't think; he just tells Chuck Norris jokes

[mindstalk]

First we had Fred "Ronald Reagan didn't ruin America enough" Thompson running for the White House. Now we have Huckabee invoking Chuck Norris:

Huckabee also previewed his first television ad of the campaign on the program. The 60-second spot, which features actor Chuck Norris, was to begin running in Iowa on Monday.

"My plan to secure the border. Two words: Chuck. Norris," says Huckabee, who stares into the camera before it cuts away to show Norris standing beside him.

"Mike Huckabee is a lifelong hunter who'll protect our Second Amendment rights" on gun ownership, says the tough-guy actor, who takes turns addressing viewers.

"There's no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard, only another fist," Huckabee says.

"Mike Huckabee wants to put the IRS out of business," Norris adds.

"When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the earth down," Huckabee says.

"Mike's a principled, authentic conservative," says Norris.

In closing, Huckabee says: "Chuck Norris doesn't endorse. He tells America how it's going to be. I'm Mike Huckabee and I approved this message. So did Chuck."

Chuck Norris is still alive? Man, it was ages since I saw "Walker, Texas Ranger".

Are you kidding? That's the best political spot I've ever read!!! I mean, at least it's a politician with a sense of humor. ;)

Yeah, I agree with a sense of humor being nice, though it's much more likely to be his campaign manager that 'gets it' than him.
