More from the Huckster

Now Huckabee is going for a trifecta: “HUCK RIPS PORTMAN’S PREGNANCY” is the headline at Politico. It seems Huckabee has gone on yet another right-wing radio show to accuse Natalie Portman, who is expecting a baby with her fiancé, of being among those who “glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of-wedlock children.”

Huckabee has not extended his disapproval of bastardy and its enablers to Sarah Palin, mother of Bristol and grandmother of little Tripp. Perhaps it is a question of worker solidarity with a fellow toiler in the Fox News sweatshop. That seems more probable than that it’s simply because the Palins are Christians, whereas the Portmans, er, aren’t.
