Still, some may doubt that Huckabee could have had surgery without the news getting "out." If unsourced rumors are the criterion, it is "out." There is no particular shortage of usually anonymous internet posts and blogs that purport in Arkansas it is “generally known” Huckabee had gastric bypass surgery, or that it is known at which hospital or by which surgeon it was performed. Examples of these posts may be seen here, here, here, and here.
If Huckabee himself kept his surgery secret, a substantiated disclosure would require a health care professional to identify him or herself while violating both medical ethics and Federal laws. It is thus not surprising that there are no identified witnesses. Should Huckabee should become the GOP nominee, however, the entire MSM and Democrat apparatus will available to reward and protect anyone who “steps forward”.
