Attn Arky Tweeps: Huck just made a potty joke. #alwaysscatalogicaljmartpolitico jmartpolitico
Huck speech filled w remkble amount of grievance, even by his standard. The tunisian fruit vendor “didn’t go to columbia or harvard…”jmartpolitico jmartpolitico
Huck sets up anti-abortion riff by noting “missing birth certifs,” but crowd claps in expectation he’s gonna hit O’s birth certif
But, if you must. Hint: He won’t be backing Rick Perry.
* DRINK UP: Drink specials all over town tonight, a promotion of Cocktail Compass, our iPhone app. Show your app (it’s free) for the deals.
