Was there a time when candidates weren’t asked to weigh in on every cultural touchstone of an issue on the campaign trail? Or did they just maybe used to know better? Last night, reporters asked Huckabee what he thought of the pregnancy of 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears. Naturally, he thinks she made “right decision, a good decision” about not getting an abortion, but he doesn’t want other teenage girls to be thinking that getting pregnant is a good idea. Look, I have a suggestion, Mike. You don’t want kids to get obese and you don’t want them to get pregnany (laudable goals, both). How about instead of getting rids of sodas and snack foods in school and abstinence education, you simply show women in childbirth, perhaps from the Discovery Channel show Babies Special Delivery, on a loop in the cafeteria? Two birds, one stone, man. [Political Punch]

Worked for me. To this day I get nausous at the sight of a Sloppy Joe.
One of the commentors at Political Punch said, "...To those of you who think this guy is "God's" candidate or "Jesus' juice box", you are why the church pews are emptier on Sunday. I'd much rather pray in my home than congregate with crazy." Word.
And wouldn't you know that a Paultard had already commented on that site, connecting Jamie-Lynn Spears with the need for Ron Paul for President? Batshit.
Or we could just use abstinence only education. That seems to work fairly well for the "culture of pregnancy" -- or whatever they're calling it -- crowd.
Pregnant teenagers? Isn't that the evangelical god standard? Shouldn't he praise her decision to start popping out little christian soldiers? Hypocrite.
Listen Huckster -- you can either have them fat and not getting laid, or healthy and boning. You can't have your cake and impregnate it too.
Err..gold standard, not god standard - I need to watch the over-caffination when I rant.
@EthnicRedneck: I liked "god standard."
this story is every republican with a hard on for "traditional" values' dream. i mean. an undereducated, underagednoverly fertile, supposedly christian young girl who is all about birthin' babies instead of working on her "career"? jesus christ, this couldn't get any more hackneyed.
...funny how Republicans hate when Hollywood stars inject their opionions into politics, but they dont have any problem injecting politics into Hollywood!
who gives a fuck?
The reporters should be probing to find out what the fuck he really knows about Sayyid Qutb. I'll bet he doesn't know jackshit about Sayyid Qutb, and this is a hell of a lot more important than whether Mittens did or did not march with MLK, in like, transformative spirit or reality.
But instead, they want his opinion on the sexual lives of 16 year old tv people
holy fuck in a handbasket!

@blader: Word.
@JamieSomers: Concurred (except on the sloppy joes thing...). I just remember thinking "holy f, that woman is getting ripped in two -- I am never doing that to anyone."
Tits LaRue on Jamie Lynn Spears' Pregnancy: Young, Dumb, and Full of Cum!
We are a nation in wartime facing a possibility of a recession and certainty of global warming and we ask of our candidates to weigh in on the fertility of a teen personality? What possible wisdom could middle age or old men impart to us about fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood? It kinda creeps me out when they talk about sexuality, much less nubile sexuality.
Isn't asking Huckabee about teen sexuality like asking Jessica Simpson about String Theory or Monetary Policy?
And I say: ABORT! ABORT! ABORT ABORT ABORT! chuck it down the tubes, give me a knitting needle....
This whole fucking story is too bizzardo for words. Good thing I'm only dreaming all this shit and I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and it will be gone.
Huckaboid's Fatty McFat daughter could not get pregnant if she humped an entire swarm of Mormon missionaries ... again or a school of minky whales. This makes his reply, like evolution, theory. No speculation, just Bible facts, please, or else what can we believe?
I hope she sells the film rights to the birth to the Discovery Channel. They would do it so much more tastefully than MTV.
who cares what huckabee says? blair from the facts of life has weighed in:

Can someone please ask him how he feels about the whole Lauren-Heidi feud on "The Hills"?
I'm surprised Huckabilly knew who Jamie Lynn Spears is. I mean he can quote scripture till the cows come home but don't expect him to know anything current, like what's in the NIE report or anything...
Thank goodness Jamie Lynn Spears is going through with birthing the little bastage. As the Huckster would say; that's one more job that one more Mexican won't sneak across the border to get.
Li'l Britney's B/F is, allegedly, a pipe-layer by profession. I'll say!
@marinmaven: "...and we ask of our candidates to weigh in on the fertility of a teen personality?"
Hell, she isn't even a teen personality - she's just the sister of a used-to-be-teen used-to-be-personality. Both daughters are sterling proof that Mama Spears (the original) raised true trailer trash...
