Pro-Hillary picketer: Mike Huckabee got me fired

Does Mike Huckabee want to be John McCain's running mate so badly that he would pull some strings to have a young woman fired from her job for having the temerity to hold up a Hillary Clinton sign as the GOP nominee landed in Little Rock?

Micah Qualls's seven-year stint as a waitress at a diner in the Little Rock airport came to an end last Friday, and she says the former Arkansas governor is to blame.

The story began that morning as McCain's flight was landing in Little Rock with Huckabee waiting to greet him on the tarmac. There were few customers in the Central Flying Service restaurant where Qualls worked, so she took a break, went to get a "Hillary for President" sign from the trunk of her car and stood with it along the fence a little ways away from where McCain was de-boarding.

A co-worker who was on the tarmac when McCain stepped off the plane told Qualls he said, "Well it looks like we have protesters already," referring to Qualls. The same co-worker overheard Huckabee asking her supervisor, "Isn't that one of the girls from the restaurant?"

In this video shot by a Fox News producer, Huckabee and the supervisor are seen chatting before McCain steps off the plane, and McCain seems to glance towards where Qualls is standing. Noise from McCain's plane drowns out much of the conversation between Huckabee and McCain.
