The Maverick Conservative

Yes, "The Maverick Conservative" is reprising the "Laugh In" "flying, fickle finger of fate" award.  Since this may become a regular feature, I am repeating the AWARD CEREMONY part of the previous entry, as an entry of its own (see previous entry for a full explanation of the circumstances).  Let me say that the Associated Press gave ITSELF a lot of competition for this award, but this is the one stupidity, among many, that made it the deserving frist winner of this "Maverick Conservative" reincarnation of this award:

For those who think I am misstating what the despicable AP did, here is the exact quote from the AP story (remember, Huckabee's answer was in 1992, BEOFORE the invasion of Iraq):

"When asked whether the U.S. should take any action to kill Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Huckabee replied: "The U.S. should not kill Saddam Hussein or anyone else." The U.S. military captured Saddam, an Iraqi court convicted him and he was hanged last December."

Remember Rowan and Martin's "Laugh In"?  Remember the "Flying, Fickle Finger of Fate" award (referred to as "the Finger" herein)?  That was a sometimes weekly award given to people for particularly stupid things.  I am reinstituting the award.  The despicable Associated Press is the firs winner. 

AP, this is for YOU (imagine me giving them the statue of "the Finger", as Rowan and Martin did to the camera).  You deserve it.
