Huckabee Co-Opts Jamie Lynn


Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks Jamie Lynn Spears is doing the right thing by having her baby. The bible-thumping former fat-ass said:

It's a tragedy when a 16-year-old who is not really prepared for all the responsibilities of adult life is going to be now faced with all the responsibilities of honest-to-goodness adult life.

Apparently, she's going to have the child and I think that is the right decision, a good decision, and I respect that and appreciate it. I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action.

But at the same time I'm not going to condemn her. I just hope that she will make another right decision and that's to give that child all the love and kindness and care that she can.

Yeah, okay Huckabee. And if she was your 16-year-old daughter and you were running for office, what would you think then about her decision to have the baby? Would it even be up to her in that situation, or would you have her drugged and spirited away to the nearest back-door abortion clinic to save you the shame of having to explain the whole thing?

Here's a suggestion Schmuckabee - just don't say anything about it at all. We know, the whole pro-life thing is part of your right-wing holy-roller kick, but please - it's insulting when people like you try to co-opt everything you think can help you make your case. If somebody shoots up a mall, it's an opportunity to drag out the old "rock music is evil" routine. If some little harlot gets knocked up, it's an opportunity to remind your base how much you "value human life." Do us all a favor sir, and shove it in your used-to-be-gigantic ass.
