Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee says "no go" on gays as foster parents...joins a long list of Republican candidates who scream "activist judges!"
NO GAYS FOR THE GOV.Seems
the Governor does indeed drink a different kind of "Jesus juice" as he once said. He
doesn't agree with the unanimous decision of the state high court on letting gays become foster parents, and thinks, along with the Family Council that legislators can change that.
"I'm very disappointed that the court seems more interested in what's good for gay couples than what's good for children needing foster care," Huckabee said through his spokeswoman Alice Stewart.
The smart money in this is still on Rita Sklar and the ACLU, who say the way the ruling was written, it'll be next to impossible to legislate anything. You can read the .pdf ruling of the court further down on this page.
We'll talk about this and about a Republican smear attempt in a local race...along with live music, clips from (of course) Olbermann and the biggest outrage of the week...and, if you'd like a signed copy of Glenn Beck's book, we'll give that away, but you'll have to promise to shred it and let us take pics.
