DescriptionStinking Little Fixer and Machiavellian Republican operative Ed Rollins, who advised the quixotic campaign of former Governor Mike Huckabee admitted, belatedly, on the April 29th edition of Doug Muzzio's City Talk what most of us already knew: that floating cross in the Presidential ad was pre-planned. The campaign, which was cash-strapped, ran the ad to get free media attention. Since then Huckabee has lied -- sin! -- about the plan, saying that it was only a coincidence (via WashPo: "At an event in Ames, Bob Vander Plaats, his Iowa campaign chairman, introduced Huckabee ... 'There was no hidden agenda,' he said in Ames of the ad. 'There was no floating cross. That is a bookshelf, but if people are seeing the cross in it, so be it.'"
