Mike Huckabee, Meet Michael Corleone

Mike Huckabee, Meet Michael Corleone



The Weekly Standard notes that Mike Huckabee just submitted a foreign policy essay to Foreign Affairs:
The essay was a disaster for both Michael D. Huckabee and Mike Huckabee. Their bid to persuade America's most serious foreign policy analysts that Huckabee understands global affairs was equal parts embarrassing and unintentionally comic. In one part of the essay, Huckabee somberly intoned that "Sun-tzu's ancient wisdom is relevant today: 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.'" The only problem with citing this ancient piece of wisdom is that it comes not from Sun Tzu, but Michael Corleone.

Unfortunately, the rest of Huckabee's essay was silent as to what America should do about Hyman Roth and his Sicilian message boy, Johnny Ola.

The implications on Cuba policy alone are staggering. And I'm reminded of Hyman Roth's last words: "I came back to vote in the presidential election, because I couldn't get an absentee ballot." He must have been going to the Iowa caucuses, then.
