The Good (Well sorta)
Governor Huckabee was once fat and then got on the "hog-jog" program to get in shape to run marathons, but I think that was because he was buddies with a Democrat who got him off his largess and saved his life. Huckabee is supported by Carlos (aka: Chuck) Norris who does have a fantastic beard but in his last sitcom "Walker: Texas Ranger" Chuck's African-American side-kick's name was Midnight (not a racist bone in Chuck's body though-right?) because as we all know, a 150-pound Asian man named Bruce Lee kicked Chuck's arse in Game of Death.
The Bad (Hating on the Gays)
Governor Huckabee said last night during the debate (paraphrasing here) that he could not dream of thinking what Reagan would think of the Republican Party today, but he would hope that he was leading in Reagan's spirit. Or something to that effect. (If you have the exact quote, by all means, add it in the comment's section-my modest apathy prevents me from Googling or researching it). I digress; so if I am keeping score correctly Huckabee believes that the Constitution is easier to change (and should be to reflect) than God's living word. So let me see if I have this right, Huckabee can interpret both the US Constitution and God's living word, but can't imagine what Reagan would think of the Republican Party? Seriously? Perhaps Reagan (who sits 2nd chair to the right of the father in Republican mythology) would come to terms with Ronald Jr being light in the loafers and follow some of those true Christian values: brotherly love, not judging others, etc. and let the homosexuals have their ceremonies or at least civil unions in every state except for Mitt (Mr. Family Values) Romney's state.
The Ugly (Hating on the Blacks)
Here in South Carolina we try our best to maintain "heritage and hate" on a low-key level: you know, your garden variety Confederate flag stickers on windows of jacked-up 4-wheel drives, bandannas of red-neck bikers and the old stars and bars hanging from the front-yard flag-poles of white folks who are still pretty damn proud that their great-great-grandfather got his ass kicked. Hell, we even have a small Confederate sign (SCV) at the base of the Ravenel Bridge as you come into the Holy City-I guess it means: "welcome black folks, do y'all remember the good ol' days?"
And as you all know, there was quite a debate almost a decade ago about that "third flag" flying above the Statehouse up in Columbia. I thought we came to a certain level of comity on both sides of the issue and other than a half-baked boycott by the NAACP, I thought it was pretty much a forgotten issue, that perhaps in my little pocket of the land of the free, it was a moot point. But wait, the Repubs had a debate in Myrtle Beach on the 17th and obviously someone was bound to say something "sofa-king" stupid that we would be embarrassed all across the great Palmetto State. You know something along the lines of "You don't like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag," Huckabee announced to a group of supporters in Myrtle Beach, "In fact, if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we'd tell them what to do with the pole, that's what we'd do." (JEEBUS! Did that just come from the right-honorable Christian gentleman from Arkansas? Does he really praise his Lord and Savior with that mouth?)
And then just in case you didn't catch the first time, Huckabee slipped on down to Flo-Town to refresh our memories with, "I know what would happen if somebody comes to my state in Arkansas and tells us what to do, it doesn't matter what it is, tell us how to run our schools, tell us how to raise our kids, tell us what to do with our flag — you want to come tell us what to do with the flag, we'd tell them what to do with the pole." (Jeebus, Broseph, and Larry! What a ninja, he didn't just say it once but twice!) Quote Source: CNN.com)
