Unbelievable. Um…couldn’t his handlers let him know that he should at least fake interest in foreign affairs while he’s trying to obtain the job of commender in chief and leader of the free world?

If Romney wants to restart his attacks, Huckabee is giving him another chance with that pesky National Intelligence Estimate. Again confusing the timeline (the NIE was out for a full day and a half before he was asked about it), he told the Quad-City Times’ Dan Gearino: “Maybe I should’ve said, ‘Have you read the report?’ President Bush didn’t read it for four years; I don’t know why I should read it in four hours.”

Then he digs himself just a little bit deeper: “The point I’m trying to make is that, on the campaign trail, nobody’s going to be able, if they’ve been campaigning as hard as we have been, to keep up with every single thing, from what happened to Britney last night to who won ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ ” (Note to Huck: If the choice is between reading an NIE summary and “US Weekly,” choose the NIE, at least so long as you’re running for president.)
