Speaking to a writer for whacked out religious fanatic tabloid World Net Daily, Mike Huckabee complained yesterday that he’s just like those minorities Republicans exclude from their country clubs: Huckabee blasts Rove, ‘elitist’ GOP establishment.

Not in so many words, of course, but Huckabee’s whiny attempt to paint himself as a victim is astonishingly tone deaf.

“I was very disappointed in some, particularly Karl and others, who were so dismissive of Christine O’Donnell,” Huckabee told Aaron Klein on the latter’s WABC radio show Sunday.

“Unfortunately, there is an elitism within the Republican establishment,” Huckabee told Klein. “And it’s one of the reasons the Republicans have not been able to solidify not only the tea party movement but solidify conservatives across America.”

“It’s about, again, to be blunt, the kind of country club attitude that we’re not sure there are certain people we really want as members of the club and we’re not going to vote them in. And we don’t mind showing up to events to put up signs and making phone calls and going door to door making those pesky little trips that we don’t like to do, but we really don’t want them dining with us in the main dining room,” he said.
