He needs to fire his publicity team. And punch himself in the face if he crosses the picket line after seeing those people.

Well he is completely insane, but I think this is a case of stupid.
Possibly both insane and stupid, but his publicity people know that huge numbers of people are going to watch the guy on Leno. (not me, but then again he didn't have any chance at getting my vote anyway)

Sanity isn't a quality I'd attribute to anyone running for national office.

Huckabee is making a name for himself as the most uninformed candidate. Wasn't he the one that didn't know anything about that report that came out that said there was no nuclear program in Iraq?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
He was on Channel 4 news here earlier making an ass of himself. Basically, long story short, it begins with:
Huckabee, who will cap his Iowa campaign with an appearance tonight on Jay Leno's show, says he pulled the ad attacking rival Mitt Romney at the last minute because he decided to "change the tone," to "not run a negative campaign" unlike the one he says Romney is running against him.
"Mitt Romney has unleashed unbelievable attack ads against me, against John McCain, before that Rudy Giuliani. … Iowa people are sick of it," Huckabee told "Good Morning America."
Closely followed up:
Mike Huckabee says he has no idea how the attack ad he has disavowed got out and is now being played all over the Internet and on cable TV.
I'll give you a clue: he did a press briefing on the advert, played the advert to the media, answered questions and his press team provided Channel 4 news with a copy, which they aired.
Asked how the tape had gotten released, Huckabee said, "I don't know how it got out there."
I'm the other side of the world and I know.

So Huckabee. Completely insane?
Oh yes. This is the man who lived in a triple-wide mobile home on the grounds of the Governor's mansion while having its pricey renovation completed, and was surprised thet he might catch any flak for doing so.

Right, Iran. I knew that. Really.

Huckabee is making a name for himself as the most uninformed candidate.
Which, given the level of informed-ness of our current one, should mean he will be the next president.
