The mighty Huck
Major profile post-campaign in Esquire of Mike Huckabee. The writer, A.J. Jacobs, an avowed liberal, really likes him. Really, really likes him, despite his pronouncements on sexual politics, economics, etc.
He's the most likable politician I've ever met. Here he is, one of the most conservative voices in a couple of decades. He's a four-star general in the battle against gay marriage. He's fervently pro-life and is dubious about Darwinism. He disciplined his kids with corporal punishment and he loves his guns. And yet, when you're with him, he's so damn folksy and kind and self-deprecating that the liberal media (i.e., me) just want to hug him.

And yes there's a wonderful and ever lasting fantasy land in the afterlife and ever prayer is asnswered! Just goes to show that some people will believe anything.i

" He's a four-star general in the battle against gay marriage."
He's a homophobic bigot.
" He's fervently pro-life and is dubious about Darwinism."
He's a Christianist know-nothing.
" He disciplined his kids with corporal punishment and he loves his guns."
He beats his kids and he's a gun nut.
I'm glad Jacobs likes Huckabee. Me, I wouldn't piss on his ass if it was on fire.

And people wonder how Obama could be tight with Rev. Wright all those years. Or Rick Warren.
Preachers are a breed apart. They can fling fire and brimstone from the pulpit yet be extremely likable (and even sinful) in person.
