Comedian Mike Huckabee

He may not have won his party’s nomination for the Presidency, but former Republican Arkansas Governor and pastor, Mike Huckabee won the 15th annual Funniest Celebrity in Washington contest Wednesday evening despite never living or working in Washington. After urging the audience to drink more so his jokes would sound funnier (an interesting tactic for a pastor) he had a series of pretty funny 1-liners in his bit shown here in its entirety.
“If everybody who says they voted for me actually voted for me, I’d be running around with Sarah Palin right now!”
“When I run into people they’re not sure if I ran for President or sold them a used car last year.”
“We had some interesting candidates running in out party. We had Mitt (Romney), who had more positions than an underaged Chinese gymnast on most issues.”
Second place went to James Kotecki of Politico, third to Riz Khan of al Jazeera English and Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform received Honorable Mention.

It has since grown into The Vadimus Post, from the Latin Quo Vadimus – where are we headed? (…and do we know why?), a daily e-magazine for those wanting to dig deeper, learn more together and dialogue on the key issues of the day.
