The Huck and The (Manufactured) House

All right, so it took me more than a day to get an interview with former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. To be fair, Huckabee was busy yesterday taking part in the PBS "All-American" forum that many other Republican candidates couldn't make.

We wanted him to weigh in on Governor Perry's $9,900 a month rental that taxpayers are paying for, since when Huck was Governor, the place he lived in while the Arkansas mansion was renovated was a donated "manufactured" home.

Huckabee, on the triplewide:
"It was less expensive than renting a house for us to live in during that period of renovation. It just made more sense."

Perry press secretary Robert Black, on why the Perry's didn't opt for a triplewide:
"I think most Texans would agree that the Governor of Texas, who ever that may be, is a little different than the governor of Arkansas."

There's too much politics in Texas to fit into a newscast, so the fun continues here.
