A Huckabee spokesperson has clarified this passage from Huck's book.
It is now difficult to keep track of the vast array of publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrations—from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia.
Oh, uh, now I get it - homosexuals are only a little bit like necrophiles. Pedophiles are sort of the middle ground. Nuance!
When we asked Carter if Huckabee stood by this quote, he didn't disavow the comment. But he sought to clarify its meaning, denying our suggestion that the quote equated homosexuality and necrophilia. "He's not equating homosexuality with necrophilia," Carter told us. "He's saying there's a range of aberrant behavior. He considers homosexuality aberrant, but that's at one end of the spectrum. Necrophilia is at the other end."


Ah, triangulating gay sex with kiddie-touching and corpse-sex.
How icky.
It'd be better if he'd out and out said it was all perversion.

Maybe he should line up Rick Santorum as a running mate.

...so, if homosexuality is aberrant, and it's at one end of the spectrum, and necrophilia is at the other...
Does that mean that necrophilia, being at the other end of the spectrum, is acceptable?
(extremely nasty joke about Naomi Wolf edited out).

"I reckon Dan doesn't like Huckabee".
