A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Now, I know some folks have developed a soft spot for Mike Huckabee, because he doesn’t act like he wants to strangle a gay Mexican Islamofascist with piano wire, but I’m hoping his stalwart support of the Confederate Flag will convince you that he’s not a good candidate. If not, there’s always his…eclectic palate:
Huckabee spoke to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough from Columbia, SC, saying enthusiastically, “South Carolina’s a great place for me. I mean, I know how to eat grits and speak the language. We even know how to talk about eating fried squirrel and stuff like that, so we’re on the same wavelength.”
“Mika, I bet you never did this,” Huckabee went on, addressing Mika Brzezinski. “When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper, because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorm, and we would fry squirrels in a popcorn popper in the dorm room.”
Oh I know. You don’t eeen believe he said it. That’s why there’s YouTube.
I know what you’re thinking. You thinking, if there’s anyone who can restore our international standing in the world, it’s this squirrel-eating motherfucker.
Then there’s Rush “Spade” Limbaugh‘s response. Rush hates Huckabee, and naturally wanted to make fun of him for being a squirrel muncher. Only he also kind of gave away a little too much information:
I got a note. My North Carolina mistress is upset with me, can’t tell you why, because I never know why. I just know she’s upset. This is a very snarky e-mail: “What’s the difference between frying squirrel in a popcorn popper and killing a mouse in a garbage can while spraying Pam on it like you did?” Very simple. I didn’t eat the mouse.
Sure you didn’t. That’s why you were greasing it up like that, because you weren’t going to eat it.
