Who Influences Huckabee's Thinking? Friedman and Gaffney
From that New York Times profile of Huckabee:
At lunch, when I asked him who influences his thinking on foreign affairs, he mentioned Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist, and Frank Gaffney, a neoconservative and the founder of a research group called the Center for Security Policy. This is like taking travel advice from Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, but the governor seemed unaware of the incongruity.
I'm not left seething over the choice of Friedman; about half the time, I read his columns and say, "boy, that's a good point," the other half I finish it and wonder, "what color is the sky in his world?" (We already know that his world is flat.)
