27. Here's all you need to know about The Huckster...

Apr 2015

When he was governor of Arkansas in 1997, tornadoes hit the state. Thousands of people hurt and left homeless, millions in property damage.

Huckabee delayed emergency funding for WEEKS because the relief bill contained the words "act of God." He said that would be "blaming God" for the disaster, and he just couldn't tolerate that. Only the good stuff comes from God, as we all know from reading Other DU Groups.

And as most sane people know, "act of God" is standard insurance-speak for "disaster." The phrase has been used that way forever in insurance policies.

So while real people suffered, Huckabee refused to help because of a perceived insult to his particular Sky-Pixie.

Not to mention that Holy Huckabee stole the governorship. He was serving as Lieutenant-Governor when the state's Dem governor, Jim Guy Tucker, got swept up in the Clinton Inquisition. Tucker was acquitted and should have resumed the office. But The Huckster refused to leave.

The linked article is from 2008, when Huckabee was also running for Prez. Note that he was saying the complete opposite of the OP article above - he LOVES separation of church and state, and would NEVER try to impose his religious views on anybody else, nosiree!

And this lying POS is constantly pimped by the MSM as a "nice guy."
