Mike Huckabee Complains of ‘Trashy’ Women at Fox News By ADAM B. LERNER 1/27/15 Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said in a recent radio appearance that while in New York for his Fox News show, he experienced significant culture shock from all the “trashy” women swearing in a professional setting. “In the South, or in the Midwest, there in Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the F-bomb or use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting,” Huckabee told host Jan Mickelson in a Friday appearance on Des Moines’ “Mickelson in the Morning.”

Hold on there.

Hucklechuckle isn’t around that many professional women to hear cursing, so the inference is that he is talking about women at Fox, perhaps some of his newly former co-workers.

That would be plain stupid to make such implications.

I am not ceding anything to the Left; I am commenting on how someone who considers himself worthy of the Oval Office involves himself purposely in a non-controversy, when so many bigger issues are hanging out there right now.

It’s just a malicious title.

It's Politico. What else would you expect?

Sounds like he is pandering to Baptists already. Having said that; he is right about the filthy-mouthed women here in the northeast. Women here in Red Hampshire use the ‘f’ word like it is going out of style; including Congresswoman Anne Kuster (just re-elected by the morally-bankrupt people hereabouts). I heard a 70 year-old female town official go on a screaming rant during which I counted the ‘f’ word at least seven times. Then there are the kids...

I worked in some technical/professional businesses in the South. In some, the women cursed more frequently than the men.

I only heard the 'f' word once during my years in Tennessee...that was when a friend (female bank manager) let it slip under her breath when LSU intercepted a Tennessee pass late during an important game. I've never let her forget it.

Men too. I never think someone is tougher or smarter or cooler because they swear. It’s a sign of immaturity and insecurity.

I hear you. When I was in high school, a young lady would not be heard using certain words — or dressing immodestly — lest she be thought of as “loose”. These days, the women who actually fit the definition of a lady are in the minority, even here on FR, I fear.

When I look at the women on FOX who usually look as if they have not finished putting on their clothes, I can easily imagine coarse language coming out of their mouths.

Huckabee, though, is just a big phony.

My mother used to say that men who used profanity just had a limited vocabulary. She did not have to say that about women because it was understood that a woman would not use bad language. Well, unless she was trashy.

I knew what you meant.

I just can’t resist having a little fun with it.
It was the perfect springboard for hoisting my own linguistic petard over the river and through the woods.

It’s a parting shot to Megyn Kelly after she mispronounced his last name.

Started reading the comments on this thread and I see that the majority agree with the liberal media spin machine on Mike Huckabee. That’s a shame. What they’re trying to do Huckabee is the exact same thing they did to Sarah Palin. They are scared to death that average Americans will relate to him so it’s time to destroy him. The man was a governor for 12 years, is a hell of a debater, and man of God. He’s not some two-bit phoney. You can nickle and dime his record as governor to death and I’m sure he made decisions he now regrets, but the way to get rid of Hillary Clinton once and all for all it to nominate someone that can tell the world exactly how the Clinton’s destroyed Arkansas and everything else they have ever touched. He’s also 100% pro-life, believing no abortions for any reason. So unless everyone on here wants to see another Bush run against another Clinton or Mitt Romney lose for the 3rd time, they need to quit badmouthing Huckabee. My personal pick is Scott Walker because he’s 47 year old conservative with a proven record, elected twice in a democrat-controlled state, not an easy thing to do. But I could damn sure see Huckabee on the undercard, or Ted Cruz, who I predict will get no traction at all because the media will say he’s not experience enough at the national level. Ted Cruz on anyone’s undercard will mean a President Ted Cruz in the future.
