Huckabee on Colbert's show

[gbate]

He was on The Colbert Report again last night. I don't know if Colbert is desperate for guests, but if the majority of the viewers (and Colbert himself) are voting Dem, he's not doing anyone any favors by having this guy on his show. Huckabee has this "nice guy" schtick and he's been using it on TCR and proudly proclaiming the "Colbert bump" is what got him the nomination in Iowa. I am just afraid that the viewers of TCR may not educate themselves on what kind of guy Huckabee really is and get taken in by his nice guy routine.

1. If he's the nom all sorts of stuff will flow in regards to his record

2. Colbert has also had Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich on.

I think Colbert likes to "play" with presidential candidates, but of course can only get marginal ones to come on his show. When they do, they seem to benefit in the polls, so they come back. So if Dennis wants the same kind of "bounce" Hucklebee is getting, I'm sure all he has to do is let Steven know he is available.

3. The sort of person who would not look beneath the surface of

The Colbert Report are not the sort of persons who watch the Colbert Report.

I don't think there's anything there to worry about.

4. sadly, I have encountered several people who "don't get it"

and think Colbert is not only conservative, but not satire.

5. Again, they'd be Huckabee's base in any case, right? nt

6. good point.

In fact one of them (I just checked her facebook page) is a Huckabee supporter. LOL! Not a friend, per se, but someone I knew from High School. Sometimes I preferred the anonymity which existed before "social networking" but I won't go there.
