Opinion: What would Jesus watch? “Seinfeld”!

I once observed (though I’m sure I wasn’t the first to do so) that every situation in life can be linked to an incident or line of dialogue from Seinfeld. But who would have thought Mike Huckabee would agree? Yet, even as he was showing the negative ad that he wouldn’t be running, the former Arkansas governor was recycling a classic quote from the show about nothing.

In a posting on his Web site that now seems to have been removed, Huckabee referred to ‘Mitt Romney’s George Costanza Standard: ‘Jerry, Just Remember, It’s Not A Lie If You Believe It.’’Only in America would a former Baptist preacher and self-described “Christian leader” compare a Mormon opponent to a neurotic half-Jewish, half-Italian New Yorker — with the confidence that at least some of his “values voters” supporters in Iowa would get the reference. Just don’t wish them a Happy Festivus.
