Yesterday on The View, the Reverend Mike Huckabee, political loser and sanctimonious miscreant, said something totally astounding: that blacks are more deserving of civil rights than gays because they've endured more violence. Seriously. He said that.
Asked by co-host Joy Behar why it would be bad to do away with the traditional "institution" of marriage, whereas it was fine for blacks to want to do away with the traditional "institution" of segregation, Huckabee responded: "But here is the difference. Bull Connor was hosing people down in the streets of Alabama. John Lewis got his skull cracked on the Selma bridge." Nice talk, REVEREND!
Here's why Mike Huckabee is a disgusting, ignorant hatemonger…
Fresh off his role as the punchline to Gov. Mike Huckabee's presidential bid, Chuck Norris is taking a fresh stab at politics by weighing in on Proposition 8 protests. In an op-ed called "If Democracy Doesn't Work, Try Anarchy," he cries, "Where are the hate-crime cops when religious conservatives need them?"
The whole piece is a gobbledygook of half truths, race-baiting and feigned outrage that form a sort of Greatest Hits list of Yes On 8 talking points over the last week. Even though we've disproved these things half a dozen times already, we'll break it down again, because if there's one thing public education has proven it's that endless repetition can reach even the dimmest of minds.
Ack, no! Barack Obama, after all that ScarJo nonsense, one would hope that you would have learned not to allow B+ celebrities to market themselves via your campaign.
So why is professional chucklehead Ashton Kutcher and his cougar wife Demi Moore in a viral video (ugh) for Vote for Change, the registration initiative that you started?
FAIR AND BALANCED "Mike Huckabee, a former Republican presidential hopeful, has been hired by Fox News Channel as a political commentator."
Mike Huckabee does realize it's pretty much impossible for him to get the Republican bid, right? So why is he torturing himself by appearing on the Tyra Banks Show?
Tyra grills Huckabee on gay issues, because they relate to her — she knows what it's like to be gay. We may have made that last part up, but she swears she loves the gays and the gays love her.
Tyra's exhausting.
Mike Huckabee, rockin' bigot and Republican presidential candidate, appeared on known gay-monger Tyra Banks' talk show on Friday. You might think it would be an odd and unproductive appearance, in which case you would be correct.
TYRA BANKS: “I know that you are a preacher; do you believe that homosexuality is immoral?”
GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: “Well, I think a lot of things in our lives are missing the mark. The word sin means missing the mark. It doesn’t mean that a person has committed murder. I miss the mark if I don’t tell the whole truth. I miss the mark in a lot of ways. I think that we were created to have relationships with someone of the opposite gender, that how’s we reproduce, that’s how we live our lives. So I think sometimes if you say is it a sin or immoral and people think you’re making these terrible statements about somebody. I’ve had people who are gay that worked on my staff. It’s not like I’m some homophobe. If you ask me, Is it the normal pathway? I don’t think so. But, you know, I respect that people have different views about that.”
Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.
But sometimes the millions serve a higher purpose; sixth homes declined in favor of the public that makes a celebrity a celebrity. Yet where are those figures in Star and the National Enquirer?
Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.

"Mike! Mike! Over here! Will you sign my bill banning gay marriage because you believe gays aren't 'born that way' and are instead 'sinners' merely acting on temptation? Oh, you will? Screw off, then."

I've said this in practically every election season since 2003, but if this bunch of bigots becomes our First Family, I'm seriously grabbing my French-English dictionary and saying bon voyage!
Nice one, GOP. Mike Huckabee, late 2007: "There's only one explanation for it, and it's not a human one. It's the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of five thousand people…that's the only way that our campaign could be doing what it's doing."
See? God made him win! Seriously: "Polls showed that more than 8 in 10 of Mike Huckabee’s supporters described themselves as evangelicals."
Clinton came in third.
• Look! He can jam on bass! What a guy. Let's hope none of those "sinful" gays shook their evil hips to the rhythm. [Jossip]
• Reese Witherspoon doesn't want to simulate sex with Vince Vaughn. The guy is so money, baby, and she doesn't even know it. [DListed]
• What is it that Adam Brody does? Is The OC in syndication? [PS]
• Billy Zane is a regular beach bum, or maybe he's just parading around a trophy wife? Hmmmmmmm. [HT]
• Hey, Ty Pennington, where's your tool belt and teary minions? [INO]
• Scarlett Johansson likes black guys! [ICYDK]
• Kanye West and Beyonce play a slightly harder version of Tic-Tac-Toe. Kanye loses nine times in a row! [CityRag]
David Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants, reached an agreement last week with the Writer's Guild of America, the terms of the which allow his late night program to resume production, complete with Guild writers. The settlement has prompted other hosts, like Jay Leno, to also return, but without writers.
Last night, the Late Show with David Letterman welcomed it's first guest in weeks, actor and comedian Robin Williams. Leno booked Mike Huckabee, a bigot who once advocated quarantining people with HIV. We hope you chose wisely.
