A look back at Fox News' Mike Huckabee's terrible week, from his statements on Steve Malzberg's show that seemed to flirt with birtherism to his condemnation of Natalie Portman.

Huckabee wrong on single moms

Last week Mike Huckabee’s presidential ramp-up took a Quaylian detour when he denounced Oscar winner Natalie Portman for her out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Suggesting that Portman and other unmarried Hollywood stars glamorize single motherhood, he claimed, “Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care.”

This is the kind of story I would typically ignore, but I agreed to talk with Lawrence O’Donnell about it on Friday night because Huckabee’s recycled and inaccurate attack on single motherhood was personally irritating to me.

like Huckleberry and Gingrudge crave the limelight to the point of lunacy. It's ok to lie then say I made a boo boo. How long must we tolerate this kind of theatrical deception from the right. Apparently they don't believe in accountability either in the present or hereafter.

He poked a few sticks in the Gingrinch as well.

The people pulling the strings of the Republican party do NOT want either as a Presidential candidate in 2012. They will only be liabilities. Maybe Gingrich and Huckabee are good for ratings on Fox News Channel but they don't have a chance in the battle for the Presidency.

Mike, do yourself a favor and just shut up for a few weeks..or years.
