The Dark Side Is Getting Darker

Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will be joining the Fox News Channel as a talking head.

Even more reason never to watch FNC!

Says Huck, "I hope to bring the unique perspective from `inside the dragon's belly' as well as to try and speak for the millions of hardworking middle-class Americans who really do feel that their voices are not being heard. I saw that on the campaign trail and continue to see as I speak to groups of all kinds around the country as well as campaign for other candidates."

Financial terms of the agreement weren't released.

Wait, they're paying him????

HE should be paying THEM!

On the bright side of things, we'd rather see Huckabee wagging his gums as a talking head than giving the State of the Union address!

Perez, Mike Huckabee seems like a genuine person, unlike yourself. Just because he thinks you're going to hell because you fuck men (but you don't cause the gays don't like fatties!) doesn't make him a bad person, it means he has a different belief system.
You're so judgmental and clueless. It's pathetic really.
And socal is right, you really don't know of that which you speak, so just give it up already.

That's O.K. that you (being so liberal) are less than enthused about Mike Huckabee, even conservatives don't like him much.

You don't even know what he is all about, so shush.

You know how you work so hard, then at the end of the year you pay so much in taxes and think - damn, that's all my money?! Well, get ready, Obama wants to take all your money and add big payroll taxes…at least Huckabee believes in the Fair Tax, he believes in rewarding hard work.

Trying hard to bury the bad comments on your upcoming Vegas appearance announcement?

I think this might be GOOD news. If Huckabee thought there were any serious plans for McCain to make him his running mate for the election, I don't think he would have signed on to do FOX News. This guy scares the living shit out of me…

Perez -

The only reason you and your fellow Democrats dislike Fox News is because they challenge your ideaology. Something that we all as Americans have the right to do!

Just because someone, like myself, doesnt believe in your Liberalism doesnt mean we are bad people. Its a lifestyle just as you live a gay life style.

For God's sake Perez, PLEASE stay out of politics! We dont come on this site for that. As Republican as I am, I can handle your celebrity gossip and trash but I really dont want your Liberal views shoved down my throat.

Thank you,

Jerke says – reply to this

Well, here's a knee jerk response if I've ever seen one. To me, it becomes quite hilarious when the Hollywoood group throws up this mantra about Fox News. I laugh when I pratically see steam coming out of their ears that a counter news site even exists. It makes them appear quite small minded and counter productive to the message they are tryng to send out, and it only makes them look like a gustapo of a different kind. Pot calling Kettle.

Re: Sunny –
Right on Sunny. Unfortunately, all these little YOUNG Gen Y'ers on here who are either still in HS, college are under mommie and daddys wing who plan to support or vote for Obama have NO clue what a financial impact this fuck is about to have on our economy.

Did you guys not see where OBAMA said that gas prices were pretty much ok being high but they should have risen to this level gradually. Its the Liberal CONGRESS who wont let us DRILL off our own shores and in our own country but yet all these VERY MISINFORMED Liberals blame Bush. They have no idea how ignorant they sound!

FOX NEWS is the #1 news channel BECAUSE THEY ARE FAIR AND BALANCED UNLIKE FAT FUDGE FUCKING PEREZ!

Watch out Perez, I can smell the jealousy. Stop being a follower and agreeing with anyone that labels themselves a Dem. And maybe you should open your eyes and stop being such a hypocrit.
mamaj says – reply to this

45

i get the feeling you have never watched foxnews……believe it or not they actually are fair and balanced. If you actually watch the channel, you'll see that no interview is ever done without representatives from both sides. Listening to the views of those you disagree with actually makes you a smarter, more credible person P

huckabee was governor over the state I live in (AR) and he did nothing the first six years until he decided he wanted to run for president and then took away all of the food in schools to "decrease obesity".

He should have done some sort of dental plan and jumped on that bandwagon himself!

To Me says – reply to this

58

There is a prime example that comes from both sides of the political spectrum that makes me laugh out loud and then scratch my head in wonder at the pettiness and blantant jealousy of man: Nobody, but nobody speaks of Michael Savage, the Independent radio talk show host. They feel if they don't mention him and pretrend that he doesn't exist then he and his audience will go away. How fearful do you have to be to totally shun someone that has amazing ratings over a broad spectrum???!!!! I bring this up because the fellows at Fox News won't utter his name yet he wipes the floor with them with his telligence and his free wheeling scatalogical style of his radio program. Is he over the top? Sometimes. Does he say what a majority of Americans believe? Almost always. Do they fear his intelligence and independence? Most assuredly. Until they acknowledge Michael Savage ALL the talking heads on the news channels are just small, bought and paid for puppets.
Megan says – reply to this

59

Do you hate everyone who disagrees with you and your point of view? How very intolerant of you! I don't agree with much of what you say but I respect your right to an opinion. Mr. Huckabee seems like a very nice man, regardless of what you would lead people to believe.

I think I may be done reading your site. I used to really enjoy it but now it seems that your personal feelings about people cause you to play favorites and pick on some while ignoring the actions of others.

I don´t think it should be Perez´s place to judge people based on politics. He should know that regardless of people´s diverse opinions America - unlike Cuba, Venezuela and soon Argentina, my country - provides equal opportunities to everyone regardless of what goes on in their minds. Believe me when I say, there´s nothing great about the so called left. Less freedom all the way, daddy government telling you what to do or else… It´s happening NOW in Latin America. PLEASE USA don´t buy into this crap!!! Taking from the middle class to feed those who don´t want to work nor ever will, thus making the middle class weak and poor. RICH WILL ALWAYS BE RICH!!! CAPITALISM IS THE ONLY WAY THAT MAKES THE SMALL MAN GROW.
I should know, I work for American companies thank God.

Mike Huckabee is awesome - he's all about helping the hard-working American! He wants a FAIR tax system, not a biased tax system that takes half your money. Just b/c you choose to take the extra step, pile on the education and work harder (and therefore earn more) does NOT mean it should be given to others who do less.

Re: Kay

Is this a joke? Compassionate? Republican? You can't use these words in the same sentence you tool. I suggest you enroll in a history class my dear and learn about something called foreign policy. US has the worst history of foreign policy which means that we are by no means compassionate or respectful to other countries. There couldn't be a BIGGER culprit than Huckabee to worsen these relationships. Well, except for our current president…

He is an upstanding citizen who knows what its like for us who try to earn an honest living and get F**ked in the end, and have to pay for everyone else, while big industry's are getting tax breaks!!!!!!!!
