Heimlich Huckabee

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in Huckabee, North Carolina

Former Arkansas Governor and presidential contender Mike Huckabee could apparently have a career as an EMT.

This weekend at the North Carolina GOP convention breakfast, Huckabee performed the Heimlich maneuver on Lt. Governor candidate Robert Pittenger who began choking while sitting next to Huckabee.

In all seriousness, praise goes out to Huckabee for quick action. In less seriousness, maybe this was all set up to prove Huckabeeâ€™s vice presidential qualifications?

After all, presidential choking has been a serious matter in the past. John McCain might want a man like Huckabee around â€“ just in case.
