Huckabee Leaves Door Open to Appoint Chuck Norris as FBI Director

From Lynda Waddington’s article on Huckabee from last week, on Iowa Independent:

“One of the things that’s getting lots of attention and that we’re real happy about is the endorsement of Chuck Norris,” Huckabee said. “That just happened — it was something that came out of the clear blue. I’ve not had a chance to visit with him or talk with him. I heard about it and checked out the comments he made — it was very gratifying.”

Huckabee said that there is “no truth to the rumor — yet anyway” — that if he is elected president, Norris will be appointed head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“Who knows? Crazier things have happened,” he said.

When I first read it, I didn’t think anything of it. Each time I have read it since then, it sounds more and more preposterous. Would a frontrunner say that?
