If you are old enough to remember William Jennings Bryant, or at least have seen the movie Inherit the Wind, then you will know that Mike Huckabee is the second coming of Mr Bryant. The Christian fundamentalist populist up from poverty to preacher, to politics, to running for president with the infallibility of the Bible at the core of it.
If you missed it, Mike Huckabee has begun where Bill O’Reilly left off on kicking the crap out of Beyonce and her show of skin and questionable lyrics for little girls. But not as horrible as the lyrics of Cat Scratch Fever that wussy stroking Mike Huckabee got on stage for in a duet with Ted Nugent.
Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next door
An’ I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
I think I got it some more
Well, I make the wussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin’ it from me
They know just where to go when they need their lovin’ man
They know I’m doin’ it for free.
So what, it’s only Rock and Roll and we like it anyway. The larger point is that why anyone would want to get on stage – or even within smelling distance – of this phis trenched, poop covered, armed, statutory rapist who calls blacks “apes” and the president a “sub human mongrel.” Well other than Mike Huckabee and the new Governor of Texas Greg Abbott who campaigned with Ted Nugent.
