14. Charles Blow quotes The Rev. Mr. Huckabee ..

Nov 2014

“I always thought that Scripture was eternal and unchanging, but apparently, now that Obama is president, Scripture gets rewritten more often than Bill Cosby’s Wikipedia entry.”

The same Man-of-the-Cloth - Huckabilly - has a multi-million dollar mansion on Blue Mountain Beach, near Destin, in the Florida panhandle. So much for any semblance of a vow of poverty, or anything close to it, for the Reverend Mr. Huckabee. Where would Jesus live, anyway, if he could? Not in a house built on sand. Mr. Huckabee must have missed Matthew 7:24-27 in Bible 101 (the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders). He also slept through Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall," and most likely he missed Hosea 8 : 7 ("Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind ..&quot too.

Enough from Huckabee. Too much from Huckabee, in fact. I wish Pastor Huckabee would just STFU, almost as much as I wish Cheney would too.
