The bat shit crazy advising the certifiably insane.
Bolton denies he is a Huckabee adviser
By: Lisa Lerer

In recent days, Mike Huckabee has tried to answer long-standing questions about who is on his foreign policy team. On Friday morning, he listed former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton as someone with whom he either has “spoken or will continue to speak.”

At a Thursday evening press conference, Huckabee said, "I've corresponded with John Bolton, who's agreed to work with us on developing foreign policy.”

Bolton, however, has a different view. “I’d be happy to speak with Huckabee, but I haven’t spoken with him yet,” said Bolton, now a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.

“I’m not an official or unofficial adviser to anyone,” said Bolton, who mentioned he’d had conversations with other Republican candidates but refused to name any names.


Asked to explain Bolton’s comments, Huckabee aides said the former Arkansas governor had e-mailed with Bolton. Bolton did not immediately respond to a request to address Huckabee’s e-mailing claims.

Huckabee said he’d also spoken with former State Department official Richard Haass (now president of the Council on Foreign Relations); military analyst Ken Allard; former National Security Adviser Richard Allen; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy, a conservative think tank; and a “number of military personnel.”

A Gingrich spokesman said the two men had spoken, on an unofficial basis, on Friday.

6. No matter who their eventual candidate is
They are going to draw from the same poisoned well that they've been dipping into all these years. Aside from the importance of the Supreme Court, this is another reason why it's imperative to beat the GOP in 2008. They have tasted almost limitless power, and they will keep after it, and expand on the PNAC agenda if they are not stopped in their tracks.

Even if I have to cast a vote for Hillary, at least it will help delay the final push for total fascism.

9. Bwah! So Hucky's campaign lied about Bolton? What a stupid man to lie about.
Not sure what's worse, the dishonesty or the idiocy of admiring Bolton.
