His chances are moving from slim to none, but Mike Huckabee is still around, and still offering the best one-liners in the business.

Mike Huckabee in Texas: “We’ve learned a lot in this campaign… We’ve learned you don’t call a jalapeño a ‘jah-lah-pah-no.’ We also learned, you don’t eat a tamale with the husk still on.”

“Last night, on one of the talking heads shows, the host asked, ‘why is Mike Huckabee still in this race?’ And one of the talking heads said, ‘I think he just likes flying around the country on airplanes.’ It’s a good thing I wasn’t sitting next to him when he said that. I think I might have committed a criminal act if I had been. If there’s any great thrill in flying in an airplane, it was lost a long time ago.”

Mike Huckabee will not be sitting in the Oval Office on January 20, 2009. But I think I could see him guest-hosting the Tonight Show.
