Why Huckabee is still a hero

I know this story won't get adequate coverage in the "mainstream" media, so I'll toss this one in the dryer for ye socks.

Our favorite former presidential candidate displayed some real heroism this weekend while attending a convention up in North Carolina.

That's right, Mike Huckabee was in that neck of the woods to deliver a key note address, when he noticed Robert Pittenger (a candidate for Lieutenant Governor) appeared to be choking.

Without skipping a beat, the Huckster leapt into action and administered ye olde Heimlich maneuver with the dexterity of a trained paramedic, doubtlessly saving millions of unsuspecting Tarheels from the horrors of another Democrat in statewide office.

This guy's building up quite a resume', isn't he?

Radio announcer, Baptist preacher, lieutenant governor, governor, bass guitarist, author, fitness guru, outdoorsman, and now lifesaving hero.

With credentials like that, it's going to be awfully hard for John McCain to deny him the vice-president slot!
