Huckabee slams Obama for letting daughters listen to Beyoncé
The Seattle Times:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has accused President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle of parenting by double-standard, in an interview published Tuesday, saying they shelter their daughters from some things but allow them to listen to the music of Beyoncé.
While promoting his new book, Huckabee told People magazine, “I don’t understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything — how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school … and yet they don’t see anything that might not be suitable” in the lyrics and a Beyoncé choreography “best left for the privacy of her bedroom.”
Huckabee described the Grammy Award-winning Beyoncé in his book as “mental poison.”
Mediaite felt the same way I did, given how Huckabee once PERFORMED CAT SCRATCH FEVER ON HIS TELEVISION SHOW.
CAT SCRATCH FEVER.
Oddly enough, Huckabee doesn’t seem to have a problem with sexually-charged music when it comes from burly conservative dudes in camo hunting vests or aged rockers in leather pants.
For instance, Huckabee once performed “Cat Scratch Fever” with Ted Nugent. Some lyrics from this not-so-subtle song about wanting to bang everything in sight:
Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old / I got it from some kitty next door / An’ I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure / I think I got it some more / […] / Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand / They know they gettin’ it from me / They know just where to go when they need their lovin’ man / They know I’m doin’ it for free.
