Huckabee's Best One-Liners






On the environment...

"It’s the old Boy Scout rule of the campsite; you leave the campsite in better shape than you found it."

On the Iranian threat...

"The reason that we're so afraid of Iran is because they've got enough oil money to build a reactor. Do you think they could build a reactor if all they had to sell was rugs? I don't think so. So because of our deopendence upon their oid and the saudi's oil we find ourselves once again scared to death of what they can do with the money that guess where they got it... from us."

On Endorsements...

"Yeah. I mean, ask most Americans who’d they rather have: Chuck Norris and his fists or Pat Robertson? I’ll take Chuck."

"Let's be clear: None of these guys made me. This great nation made me. So vote for me. God bless America and forget these three idiots." --on the dispute between Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart over who made Mike Huckabee

"When we were in college we used to take a popcorn popper -- because that was the only thing they would let us have in the dorms -- and fry squirrels in the popcorn popper." (Watch video clip)

"I'm from Hope, Arkansas, you may have heard of it. All I'm asking is, give us one more chance."

"I'm pretty sure there will be duck-hunting in heaven and I can't wait!" --speaking to an NRA group

"We've had a Congress that's spent money like John Edwards at a beauty shop."

"Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office...that's what Jesus would do." --after being asked if Jesus would have supported the death penalty

"Whether we need to send somebody to Mars, I don't know. But I'll tell you what, if we do, I've got a few suggestions, and maybe Hillary could be on the first rocket."

"Which one?" --to Mitt Romney, after the former Massachusetts governor told him not to try and characterize his position on Iraq

"And the ultimate thing is, I may not be the expert that some people are on foreign policy, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night."

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And thats what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family."

"The point I'm trying to make is that, on the campaign trail, nobody's going to be able, if they've been campaigning as hard as we have been, to keep up with every single thing, from what happened to Britney last night to who won 'Dancing with the Stars.'" --explaining why he was unfamiliar with the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran's nuclear capability

"We ought to declare that we will be free of energy consumption in this country within a decade."

"If anybody wants to believe they're the descendants of a primate, they'e welcome to do it." --answering a question about evolution

"If a person dresses provocatively, they're calling attention -- maybe not the most desirable kind -- to private parts of their body." --after being asked whether he's against miniskirts

On Mitt Romney...

"How many people reach poltical puberty at age 60?"

"We ought to declare that we will be free of energy consumption in this country within a decade."

"...FREE of energy consumption..."??

Sounds impractical.
