Huckabee slams Obama for letting daughters listen to Beyoncé

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has accused President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle of parenting by double-standard, in an interview published Tuesday, saying they shelter their daughters from some things but allow them to listen to the music of Beyoncé.

While promoting his new book, Huckabee told People magazine, "I don't understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything - how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school ... and yet they don't see anything that might not be suitable" in the lyrics and a Beyoncé choreography "best left for the privacy of her bedroom."

Huckabee described the Grammy Award-winning Beyoncé in his book as "mental poison."

The first lady's office declined to comment on Huckabee's comments.

Nothing… ?

So, he has nothing above his neck and between his ears to address to these issues. I guess that leaves subjects over which he can mentally and physically wank it.

is using his sexual fantasies as the major plank in his political agenda. Maybe instead of acting like a perverted Peeping Tom and worrying about everyone else is doing, he should stop zip up his pants, and focus on the really difficult issues like hairstyles or hemlines.

Mike Huckabee defends Ted Nugent on a daily basis, yet he has the balls to call Beyonce "mental poisoning"? That's like the textbook definition of irony if there ever was one!

She's a wildly popular artist. It makes me vomit to think of Huckabee thinking of the Obama girls at all, frankly. He's so gross.

Mika couldn't get her words out without starting to laugh out loud...

For all their talk, the pukes are going down that same insane road of delusion they've done for years now...they don't seem to be able to stop themselves from peddling this garbage as if the vast majority of Americans give a shit about Beyonce as a political issue. We don't need to do much when they start making themselves irrelevant like Huckleberry is doing with this "issue."
