Showing Original Post only (View all)Huckabee: Women should not be swearing in the workplace...it's ‘just trashy!’ [View all]

During a radio interview with Iowa radio show Mickelson in the Morning, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee talked about how he once worked for Fox News and commuted to American sin pit New York City for over six years, where he experienced some severe culture shock.
Its one thing if you go there as a tourist or visitor, but if you go there to work, and youre in that hotbed of New York culture for someone like me, I thought, Man, this is a different planet, Huckabee, whose latest book launched a cultural assault on Beyoncé , told the host.
And the language they speak in this different planet is something else. Via ThinkProgress:
In Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting, Huckabee said. In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it!
He continued: This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman. But for a woman to say them in a professional setting, Huckabee went on, thats just trashy!

And then I love how he claims that the "liberal coastal areas" live in a bubble.

He needs to be duct taped to a chair and subjected to a Lewis Black rant.

Remove the word "swearing" from the quote, and you'll get closer to his meaning . . .

Homopbobe who sought to put people with HIV in relocation camps. That's worth a mention.
