| | Huckabee is TERRIFYING!
Read this from his 'closing speech' in Iowa today:
One lengthy story involved one of his sons, who was apparently difficult at a young age and who was left behind at home one day while the rest of the family went out. When Huckabee returned, his son presented him with a cake he had just baked -- a cake that turned out be inedible.
His son, attempting to interpret unfamiliar phrases in the recipe, decided that "a dash of salt" meant a cup of salt -- and in doing so, ruined the cake. The audience was in stitches as Huckabee described the result, a cake no human could eat, but as he said, if you set it outside, the cows would lick it for a week.
Then came the message. "My son did not set out to do anything that turned out so horrible," he said. "His motives were pure. His actions were admirable. He was dedicated to the task. And he intended in every way to do something good. But he made one colossal mistake. My son had made his own definition of what a dash meant.... When we start defining right and wrong with our own definitions...no matter how well intentioned we are, no matter how sincere, the result is a disaster."
I've never heard a more likeable, charming or less threatening expression of the Authoritarian Mind. Who, one might ask, lays down the recipes that all Americans must follow?
