You were a pleasant, decent foe,
And so we’re sad to see you go.
Oh, sure, your policies regarding
Taxation sound like Warren Harding.
But you’re so nice, Mike Huckabee,
That even liberals such as we
Forgive you that, y mucho más:
Your Holy Roller mishegoss.
Mike Huckabee, we wish you’d won,
Since you’re the only one who’s fun,
The only one whose campaign jokes
Did not seem wrought by other folks.
We wish you’d won, Mike, most of all
‘Cause we could beat you in the fall.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
