Wolf In Sheep's Clothes

Huckabee almost had me. I knew he was a religious fellow, but his self deprecating sense of humor tricked me into thinking he's a harmless dude, the "right" kind of conservative who might actually work to help the poor. I mean I'd never vote for the guy, ever, but he didn't seem to be that odious. Luckily, he is being fully vetted, and the results are extremely ugly. In addition to quarantining AIDS patients, equation homosexuality with necrophilia and environmentalism with pornography, we now get this lovely little quote:
"It's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."
I'm very sure he'll be vigorously grilled on this by the media. /sarcasm
