Huckabee In The Eye Of The Lawsuit

Last year politician Mike Huckabee played Rocky III song ‘Eye of the Tiger’, by the band Survivor at a rally he held for Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

This was a costly move.

Now Huckabee does not stare into the Eye of the Tiger but into a $25,000 lawsuit.  He recently agreed to a confidential settlement with Rude Music. That company is owned by the Survivor guitarist who cowrote the song, Frankie Sullivan.

They settled out of court, and it came to light when Huckabee listed the $25,000 cost as a campaign expense on federal election records. A payment to Rude Music is listed as a “legal settlement” for “copyright infringement.”  Previously, Huckabee threatened to use Chuck Norris to ‘protect the border’.  It’s kind of funny seeing Huckabee recite Norris facts below, without a hint of irony or humour, like he’s going over stats at a corporate meeting.

This guy must be a riot at parties!
