When he goes on “The Tonight Show.”

“My understanding is that there was a special arrangement made for the late-night shows, and the writers have made this agreement to let the late night shows to come back on, so I don’t anticipate that it’s crossing a picket line,” Huckabee told reporters traveling with him Wednesday from Fort Dodge to Mason City.
“I support the writers, by the way. Unequivocally, absolutely. They’re dead right on this one. And they ought to get royalties off the residuals and the long-term contracts.”
“I don’t think anybody supports the producers on this one,” he added. “Maybe the producers support the producers, but I think everybody in the business and even the general public supports the writers.”
Told he was mistaken and that writers had cleared only Letterman’s show, Huckabee protested: “But my understanding is there’s a sort of dispensation given to the late-night shows, is that right?”
Told again that he was wrong, Huckabee murmured, “Hmmm,” and, “Oh,” before answering another question.

You’re not going to believe this but I don’t go looking for these Huckabee stories. I have no interest in bashing him. I really don’t think he’ll be our next president because I really can’t see people thinking he’s presidential (I could be wrong because I usually overestimate the wisdom of the electorate 🙂 But when I see something like this it just makes me laugh and so I have to share it with you guys because it’s so funny!
