Huckabee plays 'Fortunate Son' at campaign rally

I happened to be channel surfing tonight and stopped at C-Span -- mostly because I couldn't stomach the wall-to-wall coverage of Britney's Breakdown.

And there was Mike Huckabee at a campaign rally in a college town in New Hampshire. Except he wasn't speaking. He was playing the bass in a rock band performing for the crowd.

So I'm watching this and not really paying much attention to the song they are playing until it suddenly hits me -- he's playing "Fortunate Son," John Fogerty's 1969 anthem about the unfortunate men who had to fight and die in Vietnam and couldn't get out of the draft by virtue of being a senator's son or a millionaire's son. Not exactly Lee Greenwood singing "God Bless the USA."

If that isn't a direct slap in the face to the Fortunate Son In Chief currently occupying the White House, I don't know what would be.

So I figure there are two possibilities:

1. Huckabee has no idea what the lyrics mean and thinks it's just a cool Classic Rock song.

2. Huckabee knows exactly what the song means and is telling the Republican establishment that is in hysterics over his Iowa win to go fuck off. That he is not only burning his bridges to the Bush Administration, but napalming the shit out of them.

I have no idea which is correct, but I have a gut feeling it's No. 2.

If that's the case, it means the Republican Civil War is on.

Pass the popcorn.
