HUCKABEE MEETS JAY LENO

Man on the move

The Huckster flew all the way from Iowa to California to get his message out; With the Iowa caucus less than 24 hours away, Huckabee made the quick stop at the Jay Leno studio to hail the picketers and also use the forum to reach to the millions across the nation especially those in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Whereas there is conflicting information on whether a deal has been reached with the WGA or not, or the nature of the guidelines set to accommodate the current situation, Huckabee’s presence at the show, helped to rekindle the light that was fading on the fate of the striking writers. He went out of his way to acknowledge and endorse their cause as well as apologize for any inconvenience his presence at the show might have caused them.

In my opinion, this was a good thing for the writers because he brought them back to the spotlight from which the mainstream media has systematically shunned them from. His support for Jay Leno, a decent comedian who has been paying his workers from his own pocket exemplifies his awareness of the plight of the common man. He "reminds us of the guy we work with rather than the one who just laid us off"

He even took a few minutes from his busy schedule to serenade the audience with music by joining the Tonight Show Band.

The Huckster is clearly a multi talented man but above all, he is a legitimate leader.
