In their shortsightedness, the American public has proven that they are not ready for a revivalist president.
Mike Huckabee has gotten the message and
dropped his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, but if you think it's over for this folksy fundamentalist, you're dead wrong.
To borrow a phrase from Hillary Clinton, Huckabee is "just getting warmed up" to the spotlight. Word has it Huckabee will be hiring a team of agents and will begin shopping a talk show around to the cable networks.
According to the New York Times TV Decoder blog, the former governor is already in high demand. "We have a chair he could fill" said MSNBC anchor
Mika Brzezinski. "I'll be calling you soon," said
Stephen Baldwin, who's launching some kind of Christian advocacy site.
And so, the presidential candidate who stopped campaigning to give a paid speech in the Caymans may soon be setting up a tax shelter of his own there, on account of being filthy rich from TV syndication. Turns out that losing all that weight was a better move than anyone ever could have imagined. Except maybe Mike Huckabee.
