Mike Huckabee Huckabee showcases cheaters website
Posted by Max Brantley on Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 4:25 PM
Blogger Jason Tolbert, a one-time Mike Huckabee supporter, says the Huckster has sunk to a new depth by giving warm and extended exposure on his TV show to Ashley Madison, a website that puts adulterers together. Huckabee even brought a satisfied cheater on his show. This, I remind you, is the man who brought us covenant marriage. Tolbert has a clip of Huck at work.
Tolbert says the website is a sponsor of Huckabee's Fox News show. It is always about Bucks for Huck.

The politics of presidential poundage
January 26, 2012The Gingrich candidacy raises anew an old political issue — will voters choose a pudgy presidential contender over a thin man?

Mike Huckabee's January love affair with Mitt Romney
January 25, 2012According to an anonymous "prominent Republican" quoted in Politico, Mike Huckabee almost ran for president in 2012 just to beat Mitt Romney. There was no love lost between the candidates during the 2008 race, with Romney sending out a mailer suggesting Huckabee was soft on punishing meth offenses and the death penalty and Huckabee calling out Romney for not having hunting bona fides, not being able to eat fried chicken correctly, for his religion ("Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?" he told the New York Times Magazine) and, perhaps most memorably, for his time at Bain Capital ("I want to be a president who reminds you of the guy you work with, not the guy who laid you off."). /more/

Does he have an outstanding tax lien or what? A mob debt for which he is about to get his knees broken? What about his kids? Has one of them dug an incredible financial hole from which the Huck must dig them out?
I guess it really is all about greed. Not that I didn't realize that all along. This might have marked a new low for hypocrisy.

Max, you didn't mean to say "news show", did you? Shouldn't that read "adult entertainment show"? He has never been fond of news or accuracy for that matter but that is business as usual for FAUX.
>>Mike Huckabee, you really should be ashamed of yourself!<<
Since when has a holy-roller like Huck, Haggard, Swaggart, or Robinson ever had any shame?
Shame is what they serve others for lunch while taking widows last $10.
Huck makes a good new face for FAUX News..taking America to the bottom without shame.
Hey folks, sex never has been bad for Baptists, although they don't like to talk about it. It is such really sinful things as dancing and drinking beer that will send you to hell. How many Baptist preachers have you heard of who confessed to an affair with some good-looking matron from the congregation and was promptly forgiven?
Good sense forbids my entertaining, much less picturing, the possibility.
Yet FOX insiders insist talks are in the works for a Janet Huckabee diet and exercise video called, "Faith Can Move Mountains," built around pole dancing and smoothies.
Stop the insanity.
