Republican Debate: Some After-takes

Mike Huckabee scored some points in the speech-fest that marked the GOP debate early Sunday.

Three-time Liberal Party nominee Rudy Giuliani used a sly joke that implied he's a man of religious practice (despite past signs to the contrary), to avoid a question on his mistakes.

Bareback Brownback

Kansas Republican and conservative presidential hopeful Sam Brownback made a cringy, racy and potentially problematic crack at today's congressional hearing on black male unemployment.

It started off innocently enough as he made small-talk with Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, mentioning, in passing, that senators often take off their ties when negotiating bills behind closed doors. Klobuchar needled him about it.

Klobuchar: "Ties off?... But I don’t wear a tie."

Brownback: "I could say ‘dresses off’ but I won’t."

Klobuchar (laughing, blushing): "Not while you’re running for president."
