This was from the Associated Press:

NEW YORK (AP) — Even though Mike Huckabee is still battling for the Republican presidential nomination despite long odds, he said Saturday he won't "overstay his welcome." Then he did precisely that, lingering on the "Weekend Update" set of "Saturday Night Live" despite repeated cues to leave the stage.

The former Arkansas governor appeared in a "Weekend Update" segment in which he described his confusion over whether it is mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination over front-runner John McCain. After anchorman Seth Meyers explained the numbers, Huckabee responded: "I'm not a math guy, I'm more of a miracle guy. So at this point I'm gonna focus on the miracle part."

However, he said: "Mike Huckabee does not overstay his welcome. When it's time for me to go, I'll know. And I'll exit out with class and grace."

Then he remained seated at the "Update" desk even though Meyers made it clear it was time for him to leave.

This was published after SNL aired on the East Coast and before I got to watch it here in Portland. The article made it seem as though Huckabee had actually not understood he needed to leave the stage, when the sketch made it pretty clear that it was scripted. Did the AP actually fail to pick up on this? They could have fooled me.

Speaking of Huckabee, the guy scares the crap out of me, but he did a pretty good parody of his religious rhetoric.
