Elohim? Please pick up. Bush is still holding, and that "Mike Huckabee" guy's on 2. Should I tell him you're "not in" again?

At a speech to Republican Governors at the Washington Convention Center, the President rushed a buggy, beta version of his Fall product to early release on Monday. He took a few half-hearted swings at wishy-washy Democrats and their "lack" of alternative answers to his bungled efforts. But the best part was this...
Akron Beacon Journal
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who took the stage before Bush, set the tone for the event by pulling out his cell phone for a mock conversation with God about Bush's candidacy.

"We're behind him, yes sir, we sure are," Huckabee said into the phone.
Yes sir. And it got even more cloying than that. So much so, the further the "conversation" progressed, the more Huckabee's intended laugh pauses were filled with, well, uncomfortable laughs, then squirming silence. I caught this on C-Span, trying to find a transcript.

[Update, 2-28: Sharp reader, JJB points us to a transcript of Huckabee's improv at Keith Olbermann's Countdown site. Scroll down halfway or so, it's not to be missed.]
