CNBC’s Mika Brzezinski is sarcastic and skeptical during an interview with Mike Huckabee on morning joe.”

Mike Huckabee is questioned by Joe Scarborough and  about a “subliminal cross” that floats across the background of his Christmas message. In actuality the “floating cross” is the intersecting vertical and horizontal components of a white bookshelf that appears to be moving because of a panning camera that is fixed on Mike Huckabee.

Partial transcript of the Mike Huckabee interview on CNBC “morning joe:’
“I don’t know about that Governor. It looks like a cross to me,” Mika said.
Huckabee joined with a little satire of his own, joking that he was signaling with eyes in Morse code a very secret message to Evangelicals.
“Well I have to tell you Governor, I felt blessed … I felt the light shining down on you,” she added.

UPDATE: HERSEY STUDENT ARREST FOR EMAIL THREAT …

A canine search of Hersey High School was conducted last night after an
e-mail threat was received, according to a security notification posted
on the Hersey High School website dated December 19, 2007.

Students and parents were notified by an automated telephone message
system about 6 a.m. Wednesday that the school building was safe and that
students should attend school.

The Arlington Heights Police are not releasing any details of the
threat. Police canine units are often used to search for explosives,
drugs and even the scent of known suspects that match an article a
suspect leaves behind at a crime scene.

The security notification from Hersey High School Principal Dr. Tina
Cantrell stated, “we have certified that there is no threat to the
safety or security to our students and staff and we fully believe that
our campus is safe.”

Arlington Heights Police and Hersey School administrators are
aggressively investigating the threat. A gun threat was received less
than one week ago — written on a bathroom wall.
