It is a slow night, and I was just sitting next to my kitchen table reading the 2 days old WP left for me to recycle.
And what so I see? A list of 81 things that piss Mike Huckabee off.
Well, well. I can't stand for shoddy Journalism, especially one that I pay for.
The poor man.
These bloody Liberal so called journalists had the temerity to take his actual quotes over the years and aggregate them together for all to see!
For shame, WP! exposing the man for what he really is.
Anyway the link to the whole thing and some choice quotes is just below the squiggly for your enjoyment.
Here is the link to the entire thing.
And here are some of my favorites:
13.) President Obama, for bowing too low when he met the Emperor of Japan. "That deep bow, to the waist ... was offensive to me." (2009, spoken roughly 50 seconds after #12).
14.) People who are constantly taking offense. "Being offended is a full-time job for many. It's a tedious task, for it requires enormous amounts of imagination and creativity, [and] relentless pursuit of an audience willing to swallow the notion of the offense." (2015)
20.) The actress Natalie Portman, for being pregnant and unmarried. "It gives a distorted image...most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job." (2011).
(Was he thinking about that one from Alaska?)
32.) Profanity, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. "Mass profanity has always been a harbinger of mass violence." (1998, in Huckabee's book "Kids Who Kill.'")
33.) Abortion, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. "Desensitizing." (1998, same book)
34.) Violence on TV, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. "The average American child watches 8,000 made-for-television murders." (1998, same book)
Ok, standard right-wing pablum, and then just to complete the train of thought:
37.) President Obama, for saying that U.S. gun laws were a root cause of this month's mass shooting in Charleston, S.C. "It was disappointing to hear the president...immediately begin to say, ‘All right, this is a great opportunity for me to grandstand." (2015)
59.) The trade embargo against Cuba. "Has certainly not helped the people of Cuba." (2002, while governor, trying to get the embargo lifted so Arkansas farmers could sell rice in Cuba.)
60.) The idea of lifting the trade embargo against Cuba. "I...would veto any legislation that would lift the embargo." (2007, while campaigning among anti-Castro Cuban Americans in Florida).
The rest is there in the link. Enjoy!
Is this creature a distant relations (but maybe not too distant) of Gov. Huckabee?
This man says "Abso-f$%king-lutly"
But he is probably the 82nd item on the list of things that piss good ol' Mike.
