Reverend Mike Huckabee is one of two world class grifters to have been born into modest circumstances in the little town of Hope, Arkansas, and then gone on to achieve wealth and riches after serving a stint as governor of Arkansas. The other grifter from Hope was, of course, Bill Clinton.
Clinton started out as a professor at the University of Arkansas, but quickly slid over into politics - so the arc of his ascendancy into power and wealth was fairly predictable. Huckabee, on the other hand, got his political footing while traipsing the hills of Arkansas as a Baptist minister, a more circuitous route from rags to riches.
Curiously, both of these men developed aspirations to become President of the United States. One achieved that goal, and the other made it to the "also ran" status of being a declared candidate for his party's nomination. Perhaps there were some stellar teachers in rural Arkansas back in the day who encouraged these two fellows onward in their political aspirations, or perhaps equally likely, there was an undetected issue with the town's drinking water.
Mike Huckabee made a run for the White House back in 2008, and after fairing poorly in the process he licked his wounds and took his preacherly gift of gab to Fox News where he opinionated and sold books for several years. Back in 2015 Huckabee sent ripples through the mainstream news when he criticized Barack and Michelle Obama as being poor parents because they were not censoring the music that their daughters were listening to.
Huckabee's comments were rich with hypocrisy if for no other reason than Sasha and Malia are perhaps the two best adjusted young people to have ever served time in the White House. Add to that Mike Huckabee's own questionable successes as a parent - one son was fired from his job as counselor at a Boy Scout camp for taking part in the killing of a dog - and Huck's daughter is currently on the public payroll as a paid liar for Donald Trump (Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders) - and Sasha and Malia literally sparkle by comparison.
This past week retired minister Mike Huckabee again made national news when he climbed into the fray over Donald Trump's tepid response to the terrorism in Charlottesville. Huckabee, in castigating those who dared to criticize his daughter's employer, said that some of them would not have been happy if Trump had suddenly come to Virginia and shot the young man who drove the car into the crowd of counter-protesters "between the eyes."
Yup, Donald Trump could have shot the driver between the eyes and still some of those hard core liberals would not have been happy.
What the hell's wrong with liberals anyway?
God and guns, Mike. God and guns! More bloodshed is what Jesus would have wanted.
Please pass the fried chicken, Reverend Huckabee, and don't hog the biscuits.
