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.”

HERE is the LIST of PEOPLE who SHOULD NOT RUN:

- MITT ROMNEY (2 time LOSER)
- JEB BUSH (we have had enough Bushes and America is NOT a DYNASTY)
- Chris Christie (Go run as a DEMOCRAT!)
- Mike Huckabee (GO back to pastoring)
- Rand Paul (NOPE-we have had Obama killing out foreign relations these past 6 years, we’re gonna need someone to pull us up out of the trashbin in foreign matters)

He actually didn’t say it was the Fox gals. The term “professional setting” was not defined as just the workplace.

I worked for a large granite/stone fabricator in Toronto for awhile. The language was disgusting, even from the two owners. I was hired to make some changes in the business, to organize and raise the standards a bit. The first thing I did was set up my swear jar, with the list of fees for various profanities. The fines were not cheap, with using the Lord’s name as a curse being the most expensive at $10.00.

My bosses used to joke that they didn’t have to pay me as I made more than everyone else just by emptying the swear jar.

Men shouldn’t cuss either, but a woman never should, would you be so surprised that George Bush uses different language than Laura Bush.

I was in a meeting at work being chaired by a Director of something. We were talking about this year’s goals. She said this year to try to cut down on bullsh..to save time and money. I’m thinking wow! Is bullsh.. a new corporate buzz word or something?

You know what's even more trashy than dropping an F bomb at a social gathering?

Pardoning a hard-core psychopath against everyone's advice so that he can go murder four police officers in cold blood.

I noticed the shift in the seventies. I moved the family out of the US in 1971. When we moved back in 1977, it was a shock to hear young women casually use the F word in conversation even in mixed company. When I told an attractive young co-worker that it was sad to hear such filth come from the lips of such a pretty girl, she just looked at me with a blank face.

Huck needs to get out more. I worked in some technical/professional businesses in the South. In some, the women cursed more frequently than the men.

I was around some people and remembered I had forgotten to do something. My remark was, “doggone it, I forgot to get my medicine.” A man told me that was so 80’s and why didn’t I join this century. Really?

I’ll admit in this venue, I am a bottom man.

Series, this “southern gentleman” is calling other men’s wives, daughters and sisters “trashy”?
Huck’s a real class act, speaking to an audience of what could be as many as a couple dozen ‘tards like himself.

Oh, please...It's okay for men...but women, oh my!

THAT'S the type of sexism that bothers me.

And by the way, I don't use swearing as my typical mode. If I hit my thumb with a hammer when installing cabinets or some such thing, yeah, I'll say the S word.

Huckabee told Hugh Hewitt on his show that the Fox people were the absolute best in the world to work with, he couldn't say enough good about them, not a word about "culture shock..." But then, he must have figured Hewitt (I think it was Hewitt, may have been Medved--Huck was getting a lot of air time selling his book) would not be impressed by his pretending to have such delicate sensibilities, so he saved it for the provincials of the Hawkeye state.

It was probably what she grew up around. It is really a shame. I hate to be around it. Guess I am just an ole fuddy duddy.
