Mita testifies

One of the Biggest Hits today at the NY Times is an Article "Two Buck Huck" about the classfare in the GOP the asendancy of Baptist Preacher Mike Huckabee is causing.
I don't know if HBee is Presidential Timber, but I'm enjoyin the stir.
I met Huckabee in Upstate South Carolina the Sunday after Thanksgiving and he's a Nice guy; affable and disarming. I liked what he said about the Dream Act at the time; even told him he ought to hook up with Randy Owen if we still viable when he got to Alabama.
The Gov said he's jammed once with Randy or Teddy. I think he said Randy. He kinda lit up at the politics of the Thought.

But this NY Times article has gotten 250 something comments in 24 hours.
I like What Mita had to say, never using summer as a verb.

So here is What Mita said in the NY Times. I copy and Post cause I am impressed with her spunk and I am delighted she is a fellow/sister citizen in this great Country of OUrs.

Mr. Egan,
I sincerely hope that all the high-falootin’ intellectuals such as yourself can take a moment to reflect on this for as long as you can stand the thick air down here in the lowlands…
One thing that makes this country great is that, as our Constitution so eloquently puts it, that all men are created equal… a concept rooted in republicanism, which stands as the basis for our system of government.
Apparently you don’t agree with that concept and seem to have an issue with certain classes of people. Maybe that is just my perception… but I am basing this assumption on your tone and seeming disdain for Huckabee…
Is there some sort of “class” litmus test for high office holders that I am unaware of? Some sort of manners class they should hold a certificate from? Perhaps all potential office holders should have to post a listing of their china patterns (in case there are any selections from the dreaded WalMart… which should apparently automatically disqualify said candidate from running.) Oh, I know… anyone who has eaten wild game not served at the local country club on a bed of wild rice (with a lovely demi-glace sauce) is not qualified to run for office!
For those of us “lower-income” types who are not concerned with keeping up with the Kennedys, I’ve never put much stock in the social position of any candidate, and indeed tend to be more suspicious of a moneyed (not merely rich, but loaded) candidate running for office. I would rather elect someone from a “low income” background who has common sense, and not someone from family who routinely hires commoners to do their manual labor. My family never used the word “summer” as a verb, either.
I take very much into consideration whether I think someone will be able to do a good job of governing based on their past performance and their character, regardless of their family or economic background or the color of their skin.
The only real concern that I would ever have over someone cooking a squirrel in a popcorn popper is that if they don’t seal the meat in a paper bag or foil pouch, it will have the tendency to get too dry. (Personally, I prefer wild rabbit or rattlesnake. Squirrel from areas with lots of evergreens tend to taste a bit like pine-sol). And now that I know that it CAN be done, I think I just may go out in my garage and dig out the popcorn popper I’d packed up and finally rid my attic of the pesky varmint that’s been living there.
