Reality TV star, author and business mogul Donald Trump pronounced Mike Huckabee a "genius" who took advantage of "suckers" in the media to air negative attacks against Mitt Romney without having to purchase television time to do so.

Trump, appearing on Fox & Friends the morning of the Iowa caucuses, criticized the war in Iraq and high taxes in the US while commending Huckabee's performance last week. The former Arkansas governor called a press conference Monday at which his disavowed an attack ad produced by his campaign only to then show the ad to the assembled reporters.

"I thought it was genius," Trump said. "He played the ad for the press and you suckers are ... playing his whole ad for him."

1. they didn't all play the ad

at least MSNBC saw the Huckster's scam for what it was and refused to play the ad.

Now maybe Fox was dumb enough to play it... that's pretty believable

3. Maybe MSNBC learned something from the Swift Boat ads...

...because they certainly played them in "heavy rotation" as "news items," just like Fox and CNN.

2. That's An Old Trick
