1. For those who don't want to click the link...
Huckabee compared Herman Cain’s sexual harassment past to ordering chicken at Popeyes , “Especially, I just adore the staff there because they speak the Southern language that I grew up on and still understand, but in light of the Herman Cain controversy, I realized it might not have been Southern gentility, but sexual harassment, because the ladies behind the counter called me honey, sweetie, and darling. Maybe instead of feeling at home, I should have been offended, called a lawyer and demanded free spicy chicken for life. I mean I should have known something was inappropriate when they asked me if I wanted legs, breasts or thighs, and then they wanted to know did I want them spicy, or what about when they ask if I wanted my tea sweetened?”

Mike Huckabee then attacked Cain’s victims, “Of course I need to wait 15 years before I work up the necessary outrage to come forward with the charges, and even then I need to do it anonymously so that those nice ladies behind the counter are going to dragged through the muckraking and mud throwing media without even knowing who’s accusing them. Look I am not making light of real sexual harassment, but the allegations against a man who is trying to become president are far and away tame compared to the real life actions of men who have actually been president, and whose actions were not 15 years before than ran, but while in office.”

He continued, “And the media wasn’t this worked up over a white Democratic candidate who not only fathered a child with his staff or mistress while his wife was dying of cancer, but he paid to hush it up using campaign money, then he lied about the whole thing. I’m not too keen on anonymous allegations about things that happened years ago, and then just suddenly surface in the most critical stage of an election.”

After Huckabee compared Herman Cain settling sexual harassment claims to people that have leveled charges at him in the past, he concluded, “We obviously have real issues in this country like raging unemployment, foreclosures for many homeowners, small business operators going belly up, and a national debt that’s destroying our future. Surely, those issues matter a whole lot more than a Southern man calling a woman sweetie fifteen years ago.”

3. Yuk.
He's got to know how dishonest and intentionally misleading this statement is. What a vile, awful thing to say about people who are not in a position to defend themselves.

4. Actually, he probably doesn't.
They genuinely don't think that there could be a problem.

who knew?

i guess suppose we're to think he would have been fine with it if the accusers had waited a few weeks when presumably it would have been at a less critical time?

19. this is the halfwit douche bag who played guitar on his show
with the luminous cow pie Ted Nugent recently. He just strummed along while Nugent hopped around the stage squawking this putrid stuff:

Cat Scratch Fever lyrics

Well I don't know where they come from
but they sure do come
I hope they're comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it
but they sure do it good
I hope they're doin' it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

Well the first time that I got it
I was just 10 years old
I got it from some kitty next door
Well I went and seen the doctor
and he gave me the cure
I think I got it some more

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got it bad scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

I feel no pain
I got to cha-cha change
You know you got it
when your'e goin' insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry
Oh won't you make my bed?

Well I make a pussy purr
with the stroke of my hand
They know they`re gettin' it from me
And they know just where to go
when they need their lovin' man
They know I'm doin' it for free

I give 'em cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They got it bad scratch fever

Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

20. so effing predictable --
There are only a handful of defenses for sexism:

Huckabee compared Herman Cain’s sexual harassment past to ordering chicken at Popeyes , “Especially, I just adore the staff there because they speak the Southern language that I grew up on and still understand, but in light of the Herman Cain controversy, I realized it might not have been Southern gentility, but sexual harassment, because the ladies behind the counter called me honey, sweetie, and darling. Maybe instead of feeling at home, I should have been offended, called a lawyer and demanded free spicy chicken for life.

Forget the women; I'm a man, what about meeeeeeeeeeeeee!?

Besides, you just don't understand the culture. This is all just a misunderstanding.


Mike Huckabee then attacked Cain’s victims, “Of course I need to wait 15 years before I work up the necessary outrage to come forward with the charges, and even then I need to do it anonymously so that those nice ladies behind the counter are going to dragged through the muckraking and mud throwing media without even knowing who’s accusing them.

These aren't even serious allegations. These are just frivolous, unimportant.

Look I am not making light of real sexual harassment, but the allegations against a man who is trying to become president are far and away tame compared to the real life actions of men who have actually been president, and whose actions were not 15 years before than ran, but while in office.”

This is actually something of a new wrinkle: Besides, the Democrats are worse.

He continued, “And the media wasn’t this worked up over a white Democratic candidate who not only fathered a child with his staff or mistress while his wife was dying of cancer, but he paid to hush it up using campaign money, then he lied about the whole thing. I’m not too keen on anonymous allegations about things that happened years ago, and then just suddenly surface in the most critical stage of an election.”;

More about the same.

After Huckabee compared Herman Cain settling sexual harassment claims to people that have leveled charges at him in the past, he concluded, “We obviously have real issues in this country like raging unemployment, foreclosures for many homeowners, small business operators going belly up, and a national debt that’s destroying our future. Surely, those issues matter a whole lot more than a Southern man calling a woman sweetie fifteen years ago.”

This one always slays me: Besides, we have REAL issues to deal with in this country, instead of wasting time on mere women's problems.

Thoroughly disgusting, and disgustingly un-original to boot.

6. What would you expect from a soft on crime hug-a-thug governor?
Who gives away pardons to robbers and rapists to walk the streets.

12. Huckabee also granted clemency to.....
Huckabee also granted clemency to Maurice Clemmons (over the protests of prosecutors). Clemmons moved to WA state and in cold blood murdered 4 police officers in a coffee shop.

8. I just ordered a Crawfish Tackle Box yesterday, and
all I got was decent service.

Who knew it was a hotbed of sexual innuendo?

10. i love how so many men are jumping in pretending they dont "get" sexual harassment. common in france
women have to wear wedding rings and pretend they are married to keep sexual harassment at bay.

are we really suggesting this is the goal for our work force.

this mans comments showed the creep he is.
