Drumming up support
Just about anytime Mike Huckabee shows up at a fundraiser, you can expect a jam session to break out. But those musical interludes don’t normally include the candidate for whom Huckabee is stumping.
Huckabee turned up in Bristol, Va., Monday night on behalf of Bob McDonnell, the Republican hopeful for governor. As is his wont, Huckabee pulled out his trusty bass guitar to sit in with the house band, Montage.
But then, as the band launched into Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Pride and Joy,” McDonnell took the stage and set himself up behind the drum kit.
“I did not know he could do that,” wrote McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin, as he sent out a YouTube clip of the performance.
Truth be told, Tucker, we’re still not sure he can. McDonnell’s timing in the clip is a little off, and he’s a bit heavy-handed on the crash cymbal. But if a McDonnell governorship means more jam session with Huck, how can we complain?
