In the course of gearing up for the 2016 United States presidential race, Mike Huckabee has quit his Fox News political talk/music show and written a book:
Quote:
RawStory.com: Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee suggested...that President Barack Obama had not taught his children that Beyonce’s music was not “wholesome” because the Obamas lived on the wrong side of the “cultural divide.” Huckabee had said that he didn’t understand why the Obamas could be so concerned about what their daughters ate, “and yet they don’t see anything that might not be suitable for a teen in some of the lyrical content and choreography of Beyoncé.”
...(T)he former Arkansas governor told ABC host Martha Raddatz...“President Obama...said that some of the lyrics, he won’t listen to with his daughters because it embarrasses him. Well, here’s my point: if it embarrasses you, then why would you possibly think it’s wholesome for your children to put it into their heads?”
Huckabee...argued that Barack and Michelle Obama were “great parents… they’re careful about making sure their kids get a lot of vegetables and eat right...Well, what you put in your brain is also important. It’s about this cultural divide, the disconnect between the three bubbles of New York, D.C. and Hollywood vs. the land of ‘Gods, Guns, Grits and Gravy.’”

Fair enough. But how does Huckabee explain
his performing Catch Scratch Fever with Nugent on his Fox News show? He has since declared that
Cat Scratch Fever is an "adult" song, and that the lyrics were changed for the Fox News gig. I thought Christians considered lying to be a sin:
Well I don't know where they come from
But they sure do come
I hope they comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it
But they sure do it good
I hope they doin' it for free
(What do you got Mike? What do you got?)
Cat scratch fever
I like Cat scratch fever
First time that I got it
I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next door
And I went to see the doctor
He gave me the cure
But I think I'd like it some more
(I'd like it some more, Mike!)
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Well, it's nothin dangerous
And I feel no pain
I've got to cha-cha-change
You know you got it when you're going insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry,
So won't you make my bed
I make the pussy purr
with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin' it from me uh huh
Know just where to go
When they need some lovin' man
They know I'm doing it, Mike,
and I do it all the time!
I like to scratch that fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got catch scratch fever
I like it so much I can't stand it
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got it bad, that fever
I like the Cat scratch fever
And if he's going to go around giving instructions on how to raise wholesome kids,
how does he explain this:
Quote:
During his father's 2008 presidential campaign, both Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times reported that David Huckabee had been dismissed as a Boy Scout camp counselor in 1998. Huckabee, then 17, was alleged to have been involved in the hanging of a stray dog.
When an animal rights group sought records from the Arkansas state police the request was denied. John Bailey, the then-police chief reported that "(Mike Huckabee's) chief of staff and personal lawyer both pressured him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request." Mike Huckabee fired Bailey seven months later.
In December 2007, Bailey told Newsweek that the governor told him "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job" and "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem." Mike Huckabee flatly denied Bailey's account. He insisted his son did not engage in "intentional torture." A campaign official said that David Huckabee "regrets the incident."

So now Huckabee is
accompanying Nugent in another way -- singing the blues about being the latest "martyr" of liberal cultural correctness...
