Mike Huckabee: Dumbed Down and Dumber Than a Fifth Grader

Once again, former Arkansas governor and GOP Presidental hopeful Mike Huckabee unwittingly proved once again why he is unfit and unqualified for the presidency of the United States.

When forced to respond to the tragic assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Mike Huckabee has spent the last 24 hours constantly fumbling and apologizing for his cluelessness and incompetence on a key foreign policy issue. On
MSNBC earlier this morning, Huckabee said that Musharraf was unable to control Pakistan's "eastern borders" with Afghanistan.

EASTERN BORDERS?



As blogger Satyam Khanna points out on AlterNet, India, not Afghanistan, borders Pakistan to the East.

Mike Huckabee. Dumber than a Fifth-Grader. And as nutty as a holy-roller.
