Oops: So Much For Huckabee's "Authenticity"

Yes, Mike Huckabee is blasting Mitt Romney for removing the skin from his fried chicken. So?

Oh, I don't know.

... in “Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork.”"

He describes his home as a place of stern discipline, little luxury and—inevitably—empty calories. “I grew up on fried chicken, fried okra,” he writes, “fried green tomatoes, fried catfish, fried pork chops, chicken fried steak, fried potatoes, fried onion rings, fried pies, fried squash and fried ham.”

This is why he used to be such a fat ass.

Sounds like he's trying to imitate Bubba from Forrest Gump.

Everything in moderation - nothin' wrong with some fine, fried down home Southern cooking, especially if washed down with plenty of sweet tea, and with this election, perhaps a medicinal dose or three of Kentucky bourbon.

Of course, if Huckabuck gets his way, I reckon he'll tell us all how and what and how much to eat.

The "Huckabuck", my goodness it's been ages. Seeker I have to admit that I would enjoy watching our friends Boob and the LameLama doing the "Huckabuck" together. I can hear old boob now "Gimme some dat red soda...an' kiss me wid dem greasy lips." Course I imagine that the Lama does not clean up well and hasn't worn a dress since her 6th birthday. HELL!! DaBoob has probably worn a dress since Lama has. I bet Boob would prefer the "Boar hog grind" if he could get a dance with the Hildabeast.

"...and fried ham." I would say his ham is just about well-done right now. Time to climb outen the fryin' pan.

What the hell has that got to do with dancing?

Leave it to ol' Spartan here to take the joy out of an ol' barn hoe-down replete with some sipping whiskey, a well-tuned fiddle and a skillful player thereof, a bowl of cornbread and gravy and some fried hog jowls...

Just sayin'...after 3 years of living in SC, some of those folks need to be told what to eat...sausage gravy...shhhhh....that's the sound of arteries hardening...

Yes Sparty boy (actually I had some of that sausage gravy this morning) but the point is moderation. Surely you take the occasional drink, yes? The key word being occasional. I pulls da skin off'n my chickies alla time. But son, the Lord did not mean for us to denigrate his chickies by pulling the skin off da fried variety.......Just dont eat it like dat every day. Now my Michigander friend you've tasted that fine low country cusine. (For PETE SAKES tell us you eschewed the mustard sauce BBQ in favor of the more palatable types) You know how totally scrumptious most of it is, you would NEVER be so dishonest as to eat your collards w/out a chunk o' fat back for seasoning. However, because you went to Michigan and no doubt graduated, you are smart enough to know to limit well seasoned collards to Turkey Day and New Years Day, yes?
Sparty, Da folkses is bein' told what to eat and they do a very nice job this younger generation. Let's just not toss out the "soul food" in favor of MODERATION. We already let the yankees make chicken wings into a delicacy, now poor people food costs as much as the good parts of the bird.

Sparty: Three years where?

[TheSpartan]

Aiken...right on the GA border with Augusta (or more commonly known to locals as Disgusta). And though I went to MSU I'm not a Michigander.

[WAHOO WILLIE SEZ:]

Oh yeah, familiar with both of those lil towns.
