Huckabee Is No Jimmy Carter

Since the rise of the Huckaboom, pundits and candidates alike have alleged that Mike Huckabee, if elected President, would behave like another southern Governor-turned-President, Jimmy Carter.

Last night, Mike Huckabee dispelled that notion.

The London Times reports:

Asked whether the American commanders on the scene were right in not attacking the Iranian boats, Mr Huckabee said he backed their decisions, before warning Iran: "Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next thing you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that."

I don't seem to recall Jimmy Carter using this kind of language during the 444-day Iranian Hostage Crisis.

Do you?
