wait a second
Bill Maher made an amazing point on Friday night. Mike Huckabee recently said:
“This is not about trying to create statements for people who want to change the basic fundamental definitions of family,” Huckabee said. “And always we should act in the best interest of the children, not in the seeming interest of the adults.”“Children are not puppies,” he said. ”This is not a time to see if we can experiment and find out, how does this work?”
But why does Mike Huckabee get to be an authority on parenting? Maher decided to go with a Huckabee’s-son-is-obese joke… I prefer the Huckabee’s-son-killed-a-dog route.
From Newsweek:
…allegations that one of his sons was involved in the hanging of a stray dog at a Boy Scout camp in 1998. The incident led to the dismissal of David Huckabee, then 17, from his job as a counselor at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Ark. It also prompted the local prosecuting attorney— bombarded with complaints generated by a national animal-rights group—to write a letter to the Arkansas state police seeking help investigating whether David and another teenager had violated state animal-cruelty laws.
So… Maybe Mike Huckabee shouldn’t be allowed to experiment with children?
