Is Huckabee dumber than Pantload?
Giving the Doughy One a run for his money in the Stoopid Race, his reaction to the Bhutto assassination is to call for a crackdown — on illegal aliens:
During an event Friday in Pella, Iowa, Huckabee said the crisis sparked by Bhutto’s death should lead to a crackdown on illegal immigrants from Pakistan.
The Huckabee official told CNN that when he said that, Huckabee was trying to turn attention away from scrutiny of his foreign policy knowledge.
Huckabee’s foreign policy credentials have been under a microscope since the candidate admitted that he was unaware of an intelligence report that Iran had suspended its nuclear weapons program earlier this month.
“In light of what happened in Pakistan yesterday, it’s interesting that there are more Pakistanis who have illegally crossed the border than of any other nationality except for those immediately south of our border,” Huckabee said Friday.
Because, you know, all those illegal Pakistanis driving cabs in DC or New York somehow assassinated Bhutto in Pakistan.
Adding to the Stoopid:
But the Border Patrol told CNN on Friday that it apprehended only “a handful” of illegal immigrants from Pakistan in 2007.
The number of illegal immigrants from Pakistan deported or apprehended is not mentioned in the latest report from the Department of Homeland Security/Office of Immigration Statistics. In 2005, the nation did not make the list of the top 10 sources of illegal immigrants. The previous year, Pakistan was the last country listed, but no specific numbers were given.
Sounds like just the guy to untangle the holy mess Bush has stirred up in the Middle East. We can all wait for him to discover that most Iraqis are Shiites, when all along Huck thought they were Muslims.
Why do I get the feeling that most of these candidates hardly ever crack a book and try to LEARN a thing or two about their world? Is this the best we can do? Are Americans really concerned about a deluge of immigrants from PAKISTAN? Why does Huckabee ignore the 800 lb gorilla in the room? I guess illegal Mexican migrants are God’s children too and deserve a big fat amnesty, but Pakistanis are just crap? Its interesting how every week the media plays this shell game where they take turns testing every candidate to see if he sells ( except for of course Ron Paul ). Huckabee isn’t serious about border enforcement, has NO economic plan except to continue blowing money overseas, says he lowers taxes ( yet, Arkansas went from 26th to 13th most-taxed-state, just below CA, after his governorship ), offers no resolution to the Iraq war, and never speaks a word about restoring the civil liberties the Bush administration has so recklessly impugned.
Is this guy going to wrangle with Iran and Hugo Chavez for us? Yikes!
