Mike Huckabee Offers McCain a New Brand: Frosted Flake
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Democrats have been taking open Republican seats left and right (pun intended) lately, the latest of which was in Mississippi (via Crooks and Liars):
The best part of the video (aside from the fact that the Democratic win in Mississippi is another display of Obama's mile-long coattails)? Mike Huckabee takes a break from congratulating Canada on preserving their national igloo to say this:
It really does indicate the Republican brand is badly damaged. John McCain can't run the Republican brand. He's got to run a different approach...But people ultimately don't buy the brand; they buy the cereal. They're not buying Kelloggs; they're buying Frosted Flakes.I'm thinking that Frosted Flake is McCain's best nickname to date. It remains to be seen whether McCain will now run to his media moms complaining about how Huckabee is taking cracks at his age.

7 dispense karmic justice! (or just comment here):
But I LIKE Frosted Flakes... pout...
Sorry, WNG. Blame Mike Huckabee and John McCain. First, they came for the breakfast foods, and I didn't stand up...
Oh I do, slag, for oh so many things...
Then they came for the whole wheat bread...
Republicans? Aren't those the things god buried to prove evolution theory is just a myth?
Oooh! That's GOOD!!!
"Frosted" because he has silver hair, right? And flake, because he has dandruff!
(Kidding: because he's a wacko.)

psilo: I wish I could say yes about the Republican dinosaur, but sadly, McCain is still very competitive in the polls right now. While it's true that current polls aren't necessarily a perfect representation of current and future attitudes, but the fact that he's even marginally in the running is a little unnerving, given what he fails to stand for.
gg: Ha! It is possible that McCain has dandruff. But I don't think we should hold it against him, if he does. It's his unreliable positions on significant issues that make him flaky.
Flaky: A good thing for pie crusts; a bad thing for politicians.
(A t-shirt text + graphic? McCain's head sticking out of a pie?)
