Huckabee’s fried squirrel romp
February 10, 2008 at 12:08 am by Ken Edelstein in NewsWith an 8-point margin Saturday over Republican front-runner John McCain in the Louisiana GOP primary, Mike Huckabee has completed his sweep of the nation’s squirrel-eating states.
On Super Tuesday, Huckabee won in such squirrel-gobbling centers as West Virginia, Tennessee and of course Arkansas, where he served as governor. On Saturday, he also picked up a win in Kansas and possibly one in Washington. Neither of those states is known to be big on bushy-tail cuisine.
Huck first brought up his squirrel-preppin’ talents and squirrel-eatin’ ways as he campaigned in an MSNBC interview for the South Carolina primary. But South Carolinians, it turns out, are primarily into ‘possum.
It’s not clear whether Huck’s rodentia recipes contributed to his Super Tuesday victory in Georgia, where squirrel had gone out of fashion but appears to be making a comeback.
