Perhaps Huckabee Should Stop Talking?
Have you ever heard of the first rule of digging holes? The rule states that if you find yourself in a hole – stop digging. Mike Huckabee should study this rule. He’s been on a rampage of silliness lately. He talked about Obama’s childhood in Kenya (false), learning from his grandfather and father (false) to hate British colonialism (Huckabee is pro-British imperialism?). Then he clarified that he meant Indonesia (the Indonesian Mau Mau rebellion) but Obama is still anti-American. Now he has a new target:
In a radio appearance on Monday, Mike Huckabee attacked actress Natalie Portman for having a child “out of wedlock.” Huckabee said that it’s “troubling” to see people like “Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, ‘Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having these children, and they’re doing just fine.'” Huckabee added that “it’s unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock.”
Huckabee’s remarks came in response to radio host Michael Medved, who discussed Portman’s Academy Awards speech last Sunday. During her speech, Portman thanked fiancé Benjamin Millepied, “who choreographed the film, and has now given me my most important role of my life.” Medved said that Millepied “didn’t give her the most wonderful gift, which would be a wedding ring! And it just seems to me that sending that kind of message is problematic.”
Yep, that little lady should get married and go back into the kitchen, the slut. Thanks, Mike Huckabee, for reminding everyone you’re just another theocratic culture warrior.

Apparently, Huckabee has never heard of Bristol Palin.
I’m thinking that Huckabee is more interested in selling his book than running for President. Add another grifter to the list.
bristol WANTED to get married… but that dirty liberal Levi (probably a secret jew) wouldnt do the right thing.
Again, a once “reasonable” voice of the social conservatives toadying up to the TEABAGGERS. Just pathetic.
This man was a preacher.He studied the Bible.
Was it Anton La Vey’s?
OK, maybe I’m stupid, but is there anyone that would expect a Republican or a minister to say anything different?
At least Huck is making this point with a real person instead of a fictional character.
Hucka-BEAST is playing for keeps bitches!! He knows exactly what he is doing with these recent quotes. The Kenya thing is a dog whistle to the GOP base and this shot across Palin’s bow is a signal that he is going to go after her inbred hillbilly ethics problems.
It. is. on.
OMG. LG! Murphy Brown reference ftw!
Huckalipids should be more worried about what his morbidly overweight sons do to defenseless animals, and how that reflects on him as a parent, than what some actress does.

When I let my thoughts drift and try to create a mental picture of “Who is ruining America?” I don’t picture Portman. I picture someone like this person: Just drink in the smug horribleness.
Ewww….
Thanks, Joe!
The baggers do come up with some stupid shit, don’t they?
That bird is a walking cliche. Only thing missing in that photo is a crown of thorns, or maybe a burning cross.
The teabaggers have their marching orders, they will lie, cheat and steal to get into office. Huckabee knew exactly what he was saying, and if we learned anything from the moral majority wannabees in 2010 it is that it doesn’t matter whether or not what they say is true, all that matters is that it was SAID. Once it’s SAID, it will become the teabagger’s mantra.
Yes, Pandora. This is his Murphy Brown moment. I wonder if Huck knows how to spell potato correctly?
Off-topic, but: “The rule states that if you find yourself in a hole – stop digging.”
This bit of conventional wisdom is just as wrong as the one that says a frog will stay in a pot of boiling water if you just turn up the heat slowly. It won’t. And if you stop digging, you’re not going to get out of the hole without help. Should you find yourself in a hole with nobody around, the proper way to get out is to keep digging, but use the loose dirt to build a ramp so you can climb out.
Carry on.
But the kid made Eagle Scout!
Which, in a discriminatory organization now thoroughly dominated by Mormons, is now an event similar to your first Pointy hood.
If you find yourself in a hole… try laying off the booze.
If you find yourself in a hole…..you’ve probably blown up the meth lab.
I want to vote for that one! We need a voting thingy on this site. Liberalgeek, get on that.
If you find yourself in a hole… say hello to Dick Cheney for me.
I ran night ops with Billy deLuca [yea,his brother] at Rodney against other troops.But messin’ with animals? Wow, that is beyond the pale for a scout.
