Description | Former GOP presidential candidate and Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is profiled in a long New Yorker article out today that yields a few juicy nuggets about the conservative Fox News host.
Among them are Huckabee's reflections on his reception from what he calls the "pompous patrician" wing of his party and "elites" in general. Discussing his predictions that an economic downturn was coming - which he said he was making a year before it happened - Huckabee complains that he was "considered a complete idiot" as a result.
"What bothered me more than anything was the disdain that I experienced from the élites: 'Oohhhh, who does Huckabee think he is, speaking about the economy,'" he told the New Yorker. "...They treated me like a total hick. A complete, uneducated, unprepared hick." |
