Huckabee On Clintons & Ping-Pong

August 17, 2007 | 8:45 AM

Those crazy kids over at The Bryant Park Project, National Public Radio's new morning show for the 25- to 44-year-old demographic are at it again. This time, they've convinced GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee of Arkansas to talk candidly about his relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton… and face-off against hosts Luke Burbank and Alison Stewart in a ping-pong match.

"While he was president, when every media entity in the country would have more than welcomed my taking the stage to condemn Bill Clinton, I didn’t do it," Huckabee tells NPR. "I saw no future in it. There was a long line of people standing in line to condemn him. I always liked the short lines anyway."

Video of the interview and the competition will be available on the show's Web page after 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday. The newsmagazine has been offering online audio and video segments for a few months but the two-hour morning drive time show will premiere Oct. 1 on terrestrial, satellite and digital HD radio, and free streaming audio.

Update: See who wins the ping-pong match! The video is online here.
