Animals / 2012 / Politics President Hug-a-Bear

Posted by on Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 1:22 PM

I have to admit that every time I see the name "Huckabee" in print, I always initially read it as "Hugabear," filling me with a strangely soothing sense of calm.

"President Hug-a-bear." Ahhhh. That wouldn't be so bad for eight years. As long as I don't have to read or hear about anything he says or does.

So long as you don't mind living in a War on Drugs Nanny State where we all have to carry around Bibles, I'm sure he'd be fine.

And his brown-suited thugs ....

Personally, I'd prefer President Huggy Bear.

Did presidential terms become eight years while I was asleep?

This bear doesn't want a hug from Huckabee. >:(

You don't think 'hug-a-bee'? Less dangerous than hugging a bear, but still offers a marked chance of pain.

I like Huckleberry as in Huckleberry Hound. President Huckleberry sounds so down south. "President Huckleberry was in Alabama today to applaud the schools reinstatement of Christian prayers"!

You should never hug a bear. They maul people all the time, and for a lot more than your picnic basket!

Funny, whenever I see his name I misread it as Hucksterbee.
