I just stumbled across a story on what the presidential candidates don’t like to eat and saw this response from Huckabee:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: “Carrots. I just don’t like carrots. I banned them from the governor’s mansion when I was governor of Arkansas because I could.“
Little quips like that bother me. I know it’s silly, but they just leap right out at me.
I suppose that quip struck me hard because I’ve seen numerous reports of Huckabee saying he’d support a nation wide ban on smoking if he became president. From what I gather Huckabee has become pretty health conscious in recent years, and if you ever see some YouTube videos of him as governor of Arkansas you’ll notice he’s lost a lot of weight. And that’s cool, I like that, and think it’s really awesome that he got all health minded. But, Huckabee seems OK with the notion of shoving his lifestyle choices down our throats for our own good.
I do not hold to that.
Note to Huck: If the president thing doesn’t work out I’d suggest starting a line of fitness centers with the Chuck Norris Approved endorsement. I’m not being snarky here. It’s worth a look.
