Check Out The Smile On The Nature Boy's Face!
The Carolinas can be called Flair Country this week.
Scheduled to return to Monday Night Raw (despite being on the Smackdown roster) tomorrow night live from Charlotte, the Nature Boy was quite visible this weekend as he campaigned for Republican Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee in Columbia, South Carolina.
The Associated Press, whose story was picked up everywhere, reported that Huckabee campaigned on his FairTax initiative alongside Flair outside Williams Brice Stadium before the Clemson-South Carolina football game Saturday. "We're going to have some fun throughout the campaign and I think that's what will help us to win when it's all over," said Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who also has been endorsed by actor Chuck Norris.
AP reported Huckabee said he thinks the next terror attack on the U.S. will be "postmarked Pakistan" but said he believes that nation will continue to cooperate with American anti-terrorism efforts. Still, he added, "If there is an imminent threat to the American people, then I think it is the responsibility of a president of this country to do whatever he has to do to protect you, me and the rest of us standing here."
AP also reported about The Nature Boy that Flair, known for his "Whooo!" yell, said Huckabee has the best vision for the country. "He likes to see people enjoy life," Flair said. Huckabee brushed aside questions about which South Carolina team he was backing, preferring to focus on his Arkansas Razorbacks' upset win Friday over No. 1 Louisiana State University. Referring to the Razorbacks' rallying cry, he said, "Just remember that the first part of 'Whooo, pig, sooie!' is 'Whooo!'"
Hopefully, Flair will cut a better promo on Monday when he returns to Raw.
