a southern baptist preacher just won the republican iowan caucus. the very dude who is quoted as saying:

“The immigration issue is not so much about people coming to pick lettuce or make beds, it’s about people who could come with a shoulder-fired missile and could do serious damage and harm to us…”

-Mike Huckabee

Merlin Mann described Huckabee best with this quote:

Mike Huckabee, whose foreign policy experience to date encompasses english muffins, chinese checkers, and sight-reading the bass tab for Toto’s 1982 hit, “Africa.”

In more optimistic news, Barack Obama won the democratic caucus and rarely in U.S. history has there been such a striking contrast between the ideology of the two leading parties.
