The Naughty/Nice List
Santa Claus called. He’s making another list and checking it twice, but needs assistance with the current crop of presidential candidates. I told him how things were looking from out here in the blogosphere.
Very Naughty
Mike Huckabee’s dark side got the best of him recently. Do Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers? Ask Mike the Sucker Puncher Huckabee. The former governor could have taken the high road and not insulted Mitt Romney’s religion for political gain. He took the low road instead.
Mike thinks his words were taken out of context. What would the correct context be for such an insinuation? Unless Huck just wanted to get under Mitt’s skin…
Mitt Romney has responded by going medieval on Huckabee over everything from pardons to immigration. The Romney campaign shows no signs of backing off during the holiday season either. Bah, humbug.
Rather Naughty
Hillary Clinton says she had no idea that the New Hampshire chairman of her presidential campaign planned to trash Barack Obama over teenage drug use. Right. Fortunately for Hillary, she’s gotten her groove back after an endorsement by the Des Moines Register. And that “you need experience to change” line is more confusing than threatening.
Rudy Giuliani enjoys slamming Hillary a bit too much. The former mayor’s terrorist warning system could use a rest as well. Giuliani gets bonus points though, for his buoyant Christmas message which includes a cameo by good old St. Nick. Heartwarming.
Naughty
John Edwards hasn’t had anything nice to say about those poor insurance companies and their lobbyist friends in a while. I guess that’s better than complaining about the other presidential candidates.
Mike Gravel probably intended to make a point with his uncomfortable silence in a YouTube video. Words are overrated?
Nice
Jim Gilmore, Sam Brownback and Tom Vilsack all had mostly pleasant things to say last summer. Good luck in your run for the vice presidency.
Santa Claus, naughty, nice, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Jim Gilmore, Sam Brownback, Tom Vilsack

Good job as Santa’s list-keeping intern! He could use you full time. Merry Christmas, Bob!
