Huckabee dumps PC for Mac

Former Presidential candidate and Arkansas ex-Governor Mike Huckabee has traded in his PC for a MacBook. He talked about in on his Sunday Fox News Channel Show,

Here's a link to the YouTube video. Huckabee praises the staff at the New York Apple Store who got his Macbook set up.

President-elect Obama's team also favors Apple gear, and John McCain, well, he relies on help from his wife when it comes to technology.

Darwinism at it's proudest moment.

Monkey evolves into Man.
PC evolves into Mac.

Huckabee believes in Evolution after all.

Whether or not McCain is a self-identified computer illiterate because of his war injuries or by personal preference, who cares? Should we insult or look down our noses at people who don't use technology, just because we do?

Conversely, people get ga-ga over Obama's supposed mastery of technology, but what does this have to do with being able to execute the Constitution of the US?

This whole thread is a great example of why political discourse in this country has become a joke.

Despite the fact I don't agree with him, I like him.

By now, everyone knows that John McCain isn't tech savvy. So I'm not sure why the little dig at him was such a horrific shock. The guy uses an abacus to count the number of houses he owns. (*rim shot*) But seriously folks...

The real issue here is that Mike Huckabee is using the same brand of computer that I use. The thought that he has anything in common with me is repugnant. Is there anyway we can convince him that Jesus wants him to use Vista?

Aside from the fact that the McCain mention was certainly a low blow, on the Straight Talk Express there were about 4-5 black MacBooks laying around (this was late in the campaign when his daughter was using the bus, so they didn't belong to journalists).

Not to be too much of a stickler, but just having Macbooks "laying around" your bus, doesn't really show you are tech-savvy, does it?

McCain may not use a computer, but he's not technically challenged. Witness the inside of an A4 Skyhawk:



You have to be smarter than the average Joe to fly a Skyhawk, espcially getting it off and back on a pitching aircraft carrier.

No, I'll give him a pass if he doesn't use a computer for every day use.

He wasn't exactly the best pilot, and that was a LONG time ago...

In America people can say what they want and if it doesn't break any laws, then freedom of speech is granted. However that being said, it takes a person with strong character to say what is right. To insult a person because he believes in Jesus is allowed in America, but won't be looked at so kindly on judgment day.

"LOL someone should tell him that the kernel and system layer is called Darwin."

Now THAT is funny.

That might scare him away. Best to just tell him that the Mac is powered by prayers to the baby Jeebus.

I wonder if it is possible to bring up any political candidate and not get into rampant arguments over policy, religion, etc. Huckabee switched to a Mac - glad he came over. I've seen pictures of Obama and Bush using them. Nice to see that as well. Leave it there. I'd love to see a tech posting where it would just leave it there. No snide remarks or snipes.
