The Enormous Dick award goes to...

...Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas who is probably not well known outside the state. That is quickly changing as he dips his bigoted toes into presidential waters and gets noticed by other
high profile bloggers
who have widespread appeal.

Huckabee was speaking at the opening of a three-day fundraising campaign for Republican legislative candidates in Iowa, and had to spew this Baptist bile:

“What we are talking about is whether the state should place a child in a relationship that is not recognized by the state as a marriage."

“Marriage has historically never meant anything other than a man and a woman. It has never meant two men, two women, a man and his pet, or a man and a whole herd of pets,” he said.
Huckabee said activists “want to change rules that have been in place for thousands of years.”

He's an ASS. If he wants to dredge up thousands of years of marriage history as our moral guiding light, perhaps he should go do some reading on the history of marriage, including child marriages.
In Afghanistan , it is believed that between 60 and 80 percent of marriages are forced marriages.

The intellect of the man can easily be measured by his reference to bestiality which has absolutely fuck-all to do with this issue. But it's a convenient and effective pandering tool when speaking to other inferior morons whose homophobia coats them like Neanderthal fur.

Here is an excerpt from an article in today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette by Jim Hannah, the chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court which recently ruled by a vote of 7-0 that Arkansas' ban on gay foster parents was unconstitutional:

Last year, 6,399 children were in foster care in Arkansas and 436 of those children in foster care are waiting to be adopted. The majority of our children are placed back in homes with parents or relatives. Yet, each year more than 200 Arkansas youth turn 18 without a family to continue to offer support. When you view the system, through the eyes of a child, the need for foster care reform is clear.

But instead of sensible and practical foster care reform, Huckabee is harping about the legislature recrafting a ban on gays serving as foster parents.

In March of 2005, someone started this
Huckabee for President
blog. If you want to really get your panties in a knot, check it out. It'll quickly become clear why this guy belongs in the pulpit rather than the White House (or the Governor's mansion).
