The Real Huckabee

Bainbridge is a little aghast. Yeah, according to Huckabee, my marriage to my husband is a gateway to legalized and protected relationships between humans and animals. Thanks, Mike! And then we're somehow going to round up and deport all 12 million illegal immigrants without a new form of police state. Meanwhile, he doesn't just have loose associations with far-right extremists, he has them hold fundraisers for him. In this campaign. Christian reconstructionists are genuinely Taliban-Christianists. And Huckabee has no problem with them.

I think of Huckabee as almost a comic vindication for those of us who have worried about the rise and rise of unopposed Christianism in the GOP. Except he's not a joke. He could actually win this thing.
