Ann Coulter Takes Apart Mike Huckabee
This is fortunate, because beyond what I’ve done already (here, here, and here [first item at link]), and a briefly noting that Old Media may like nothing better than the Huckster as nominee, I don’t have to.

UPDATE: Okay, I don’t have to, but on this one (HT Hot Air via Discerning Texan), I want to –
….. Huckabee is racking up big bucks on the campaign trail speaking at churches. Now, he does this it seems, by funneling the speaking fees through his company, 12 Stops, Inc., which was named after Huckabee’s book From Hope to Higher Ground: 12 STOPS to Restoring America’s Greatness.
….. Huckabee, even though campaigning for President, makes $25,000.00 per engagement plus expenses to speak at churches, but not to general audiences.
Putting aside the wonder that church members are willing to fork over collection money to pay this kind of fee for any speaker, has any serious presidential candidate ever done this? I’m starting to think that Huck got into the race only to enhance his earning capacity as a speaker and consulant (”former presidential candidate” looks good on the resumé). Now he’s the most surprised person in America that he’s actually gained traction.
