LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 13, 2007


(AP) Republican Mike Huckabee's record on women's rights is coming under increased scrutiny, including his endorsement of the Southern Baptist Convention's stance that women should "submit graciously" to their husbands and his opposition to sending women into combat.

Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, defended his record Thursday, saying he appointed many women to high positions in state government and on his staff during his 10½ years as Arkansas governor.

"If you look at my cabinet, I had more women in my cabinet and on my staff in key positions, including chief of staff, than any other governor probably in Arkansas history," Huckabee said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

1. i.e. no cowgirl position

5. Why would life even be worth living?

I really would move to Canada.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. With this many skeletons in his closet...

why did he even run for President? He's probably just as scared of his possible nomination as we are.

[Fenris]

3. He's the gift that keeps on giving!

This guy has enough baggage to keep us entertained until his inevitable crash and burn.

4. Submit gracefully?

Is that like kinky stuff?

[Olney Blue]

6. I will not submit, and I will not be gracious. FU, Huckabee.

7. I guess it sounds nicer that "where's my dinner, bitch?" but would still appeal to the

pro-rapist, anti-science, pro-fiscal irresponsibility, Jesus-rode-a-dinosuar voters that are fueling his campaign.

16. just a little too much homecookin' in the Hucklenut household

20. Wow. Even the vertical stripes don't help the Hugeabees .

Great pic.

I've never seen a brick-front McDonalds before.

[skipos]

21. They must be asking Mrs Huckster "Where is my dinner, bitch?" three times a day.

Can you give me the link to that photo? I can't find it online.

8. Sorry Huckaboo....

My hubby prefers to submit to me. He can be a very bad boy. :woohoo:

[existentialist]

11. ok, but

Is he gracious?

[zanne]

13. I prefer "Huckleberry".

I wonder what his middle name is. Odda are it's something weird.

17. According to Wikipedia, it's "Dale"

9. Should they hang the dog....

before or after they submit "graciously"? :puke:

[Dervill Crow]

10. Talk like this sounds really stupid outside of church.

I remember that little gem from the "marriage enrichment" Sunday School class I took in my 20s. By my 30s I had figured out it is impractical. My husband married me at least partly for my brains, more's the pity, and prefers that I use it.

[polichick]

12. How 'bout if I "submit graciously" to him tonight...

...and he "submits graciously" to me tomorrow night?? ;)

[ZombieHorde]

22. Subject line

How 'bout if I "submit graciously" to him tonight...and he "submits graciously" to me tomorrow night??

Awesome.

[MrSlayer]

14. Who the hell would want someone submitting to them?

Oh yeah that really makes me feel good. You fuck me only because you feel like you have to. Nothing is more tantalizing than when a woman says "Just get it over with." It's so much better when a person actually wants to be intimate with you. That's what turns me on anyway. Unwillingly submitting is effectively rape to my way of thinking.

[Mz Pip]

15. I submit graciously

when I feel like it.

And so does Mr Pip. When he feels like it.

18. If you track his ties down, I am sure you'll find him praising people

who advocate wife beating and think it is sinful for women to work. We had a nut case like that appointed by Jeb Bush to head DCF in Florida-some fundy from Oklahoma. He was finally run out for some indiscretion or another. I can't even remember his name.

19. Mormons seem to have more kids than Catholics.. now i know why

[Skittles]

23. that's how you get battered wives

yes INDEED

[Robeson]

25. Does the Huckster think that should go for my wife, too, who's ex-husband...

...used to beat her face in? He sounds like the preacher she went to back then - when she was religious - who told her it was God's will if she was getting her face pounded.

[provis99]

26. Ok Huck, so when do we expect to see the burkhas?

And to think fundamentalists don't believe in knuckle-dragging cavemen. Huckabee is living proof they still live among us.
