You’re so clubbable

ROD DREHER ON MIKE HUCKABEE:
[I]t’s hard to shake the belief that the real problem with Mike Huckabee, as far as the establishment is concerned, is that he’s not clubbable.
I’d say just the opposite. I think that Huckabee has gotten a lot of mileage out of being a likable guy.
Whoa, Glenn! “Likable” and “clubbable” only intersect a little, tiny bit. Lots of regular, likable, fun guys are not and never will be clubbable.
Don’t run to the dictionaries that say “sociable, gregarious.” Clubbable really means socially acceptable; amenable to homogenization.
Big difference, believe me.

“amenable to homogenization.”
That’s my problem with him, he’s homogenized.

Who is, Jack?

“Who is Jack?”
You know, a lot of people ask me that Ron.
But I signed a contract and so I’m not allowed to say.
