2.75 Cheers for Mike Huckabee
Or:
Huckabee Says: Stop Demonizing Obama

At CNN.com.

Good for Mike Huckabee.

So why is he 2.5 cheers short of the traditional trifecta? Well, first, this isn't exactly a profile in courage; it only takes a rather minimal amount of humanity and morality to tell someone to lay off racist attacks. And, second, he didn't say anything about the other insane, non-racial attacks that Republicans are firing at both Obamas. But, still: you get 2 3/4, Mike, and that's more than any other high-profile Republicans have earned in this matter.

My prediction, incidentally, is that Michelle Obama is going to become the new Hillary in the eyes of the wingnuts. It's fairly clear that they can only tolerate smart, strong females anywhere near power if they are on the right. I hope I'm wrong, but I expect it'll get a lot worse for Mrs. Obama before it gets better.
