Mike Huckabee is the former governor of Arkansas, a Republican Presidential primary candidate in 2008, and a current Fox-wad who still harbors Oval Office ambitions. Yesterday, he was interviewed by a conservative AM talk-radio host. The host was still flogging the "birther" dead horse and asked Huckabee if we didn't "deserve to know more about this man [Obama]?"
Here's what Huck had to say:
"What I know is troubling enough. And one thing I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits is very different than the average American. His perspective growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather -- their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours, because he probably grew up hearing the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."
Mike, Mike, Mike, how do you come up with this stuff?
Barack Obama did not grow up in Kenya. (Huckabee has now said he misspoke and meant to say Indonesia. Hey Huck -- you mentioned Kenya four times in 15 seconds. I'm inclined to believe it was intentional. And the Mau Mau Rebellion took place in Kenya, not Indonesia.)
And Mau Mau? Really? Mau Mau? WTF, Huck? Where did that come from? And what is "our view" of the Mau Mau Rebellion? Didn't know we had one.
The British were indeed imperialists; quintessential, dictionary-definition imperialists. That's why it was called the British Empire, dumbass!
Time to let go of those Presidential aspirations, Huck, and keep your day job with Fox News. They take damn near anybody.
