I saw a clip from a debate and Fred Thompson put down Huckabee for wanting a national smoking ban. Huckabee answered, "There's a saying in the Air Force, 'If you're not taking flak you're not over the target.'"

I believe Huckabee just meant he must be doing something right to be attacked by Thompson; his answer had nothing to do with a smoking ban, but he sure didn't defend his position in that clip.

I do not know if Huckelberry has ever been in the military;but,I spent time in the service back in the sixties and no one joked about getting shot at. Nor was it considered a desirable thing to have happen.

My general recollection is that people thought that getting shot at was bad for your health,it could hurt a lot and could kill you.

I am reasonably certain that Sen.McCain would not be cutsey about 'flak'.

Huckleberry is a pompous ass!!

Huckabee is a born again health freak. A typical middle aged man covered by health insurance who came under the spell of the medical profession who believes his previous life as a free man was bad and the medical profession will guaranty a long prosperous life as a politician.
