    Is Huckabee allowed to endorse Campbell’s soup? That’s got to break some kind of election code.

    i just read Cody’s bio and am finding it hard - impossible, actually - to believe that he graduated magna cum laude.

    I can believe that you did. You majored in supplying alcohol to the underaged, right?

    What sort of GPA does it take to never have to live in Alabama, newsman?

    I kid, that was mean.

    I love this commercial. The guy does indeed look like Mike Huckabee, and does a great commercial. Is it really him?
