Hucklebag Does Not Fly With The Unwashed

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/07/mike-huckabee-private-planes-108851.html
snip:
As a presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee made a name for himself as the regular Joe on the debate stage, a threadbare underdog who couldn’t afford his opponents’ Madison Avenue-style commercials, plush hotels and chartered planes. In his campaign memoir, Huckabee proclaimed that he “kept in touch” with ordinary people while eating food-court fare and waiting for long-delayed commercial flights as “other candidates were stepping onto their Gulfstream jets.”
These days, the former Arkansas governor is living — and flying — far more comfortably.

Now a Fox News commentator and highly paid public speaker, Huckabee has in just a few years racked up at least $253,000 in private air travel bills on the way to political events, according to a POLITICO review of federal and state campaign finance records.

Another 1 percent hypocrite flimm-flamming and scamming the rubes with his "plain feller" return. More Elmer Fudd than Elmer Gantry.

Huckabee must own a private jet or lots of jet stock or one of his good buddies is lending his private jet to him for corporate tax deductions


PS IMO some big corporation or some giant business is cheating on their transportation and travel tax deductions for that jet
