Huckabee is digging deeper...

Now "He never saw it coming."

Huckabee Claims He Didn't See Nugent Controversy Coming

After Jon Stewart went after Mike Huckabee on The Daily Show and called him out for palling around with Ted Nugent and his hypocrisy for attacking Beyonce, it seems poor old Huckabee can't even go out and try to sell his book any more without being asked about it.

Alan Colmes had Mike Huckabee on his radio show this Tuesday and he pressed him on his decision to embrace Ted Nugent as well. (This is about four and a half minutes into the segment above.)

HUCKABEE: Of all of the things that I thought was going to cause some controversy I was prepared to be ready to defend, that was the one I didn't see coming.

with Keith Richards and giving him a pardon. Also the comment about wanting the Stones to play at his inauguration.

who trash the Obamas constantly. None of them would ever say "but Mike you sang that song about a 10-year-old getting laid on TV.." or "hey Mike how does listening to Beyonce compare with having your 18 year-old son strangle a dog in front of a group of Boy Scouts?"

The idea of hypocrisy never enters the bubble of sycophantic Huckabullshit that he lives in.

Unless they're incredibly stupid, which is also a strong possibility.

Looks like he's setting it up right now: "I never saw this criticism coming. But now that I've meditated and prayed on it, I see the error of my ways, and I'm beseeching Lord Jesus to put me on a more righteous path. With His help, I'll be more worthy."

I tell you, folks, you can set your watches by the actions these religious charlatans take. And the sad thing is, it generally works for them.
