Weasels Never Rest

I wasn't planning to have my first post of 2008 be on politics. But in reading the New York Times (online, it's snowing here), I saw this bit:

Huckabee had an anti-Romney ad done
. He was going to run it, then decided to "do the right thing" (his words) and pull it, so he could keep the moral high ground. But that didn't stop him from screening the ad for a few dozen reporters.

"I'm not going to run a negative ad, but here it is, so all y'all can write stories about it."

The reporter who wrote the Times story said that the reporters present laughed at Huckabee's "legerdemain."

I call it hypocrisy of the rankest sort.

The Washington Post at least reported that the ad was shown as part of television news stories and can be seen on the Internet. The Post reported that showing the ad to the press "produced loud snickers from reporters sensitive to hypocrisy." You can see the ad on the Post's website, if you want to see a weasel in his natural habitat.
