Entry: Huckabee: The New Huey Long Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/huckabee_the_new_huey_long#12009 Post contents: I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. Regarding the Huey Long reference in the headline, headlines are an editor's prerogative rather than a writer's. Having worked as an editor myself, I'm happy to defer to whatever the editor decides to call a piece (within reason); that's the chain of command and responsibility. My own view is that Huckabee is far worse than Long and Long, whatever his faults, was the genuine populist, or at least anti-establishment, article. Huckabee, with his regressive tax scam, is no more a populist than he his a conservative. Sent at: 2008 07 06
