The foul-mouthed women of Fox News were a disquieting element of doing his weekly show for the conservative cable TV network, ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told an Iowa radio interviewer. Huckabee is back courting the Hawkeye State — he won Iowa’s 2008 precinct caucuses — in preparing his second bid for the White House. The religious right champion quit his weekly show on Fox News to get ready for the 2016 Republican race.
A Baptist preacher, Huckabee confessed to culture shock when doing his show in New York. “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 Des Moines radio host Jan Michelson on “Michelson in the Morning.” “In New York, not only do men do it, but the women. My gosh, this is worse than locker-room talk. As we would say in the South, that’s just trashy.”
The avuncular Huckabee is coming across these days as a cultural warrior, particularly in his new book “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy.”
Fox News boss Roger Ailes is famously potty-mouthed, even when he was then-Vice President George H.W. Bush on his television presence. Huckabee has long contrasted alleged values of the heartland with the culture and mores of America’s cities on the East and West Coasts.

So true. We need a battle tested governor like Walker, not a senate surrender type.
Oh, outrage! Reverend Huckafeller is mightily offended as he commands, “Young lady, you go back and put some clothes on! What would your parents think!!?”
I would approach it (her) differently, elevating my eyes (for a moment) unto Heaven and praying,
“O Lord, I give Thee thanks for granting unto me, Thy humble servant, this glorious vision of some of the beautiful things which Thou hast made!”
;^)
Huck needs to pay attention to his decision making and less attention to Fox News babes! He’s basically running for veep anyway
Suckabee Duckapee can go *uckatree.
You what I think is much more “trashy” than “gratuitous profanity”? Your brand of country-fried Christian socialism.
I’d appoint Huckleberry our first Ambassador to Uranus. By which I mean I’d put his fat ass in a rocket and blast it off, it would probably fail to reach orbit due to the weight.
Huck’s holding on to that “Baptist preacher” moniker like grim death, hoping it’ll give him credibility with southerners and uninformed Christian voters. I know tons of Baptist preachers, many of them relatives, and none of them would be standing on a platform playing/singing with rock bands. He’s conflicted, trying to play both ends against the middle.
He is mentally ill if he thinks he can be President, along with three quarters of the candidates.
If I want to watch “Elmer Gantry”, I’ll watch the Burt Lancaster version.
purge the North east
well said madam! I had forgotten about Huck’s guitar
This just in (not really but this is the first I’ve heard of it), Elmer has turned medicine man, hawking snake oil diabetes cure to raise campaign cash.

And he’s sold his mailing lists to people hawking snake oil CANCER treatment. What a disgrace!
