Has anyone else noticed how Mike Huckabee can’t stop talking about Beyoncé?
First,
he comments that her husband, Jay-Z, is undoubtedly “exploiting his
wife” like a “pimp” (for all the reasons this is wrong, see my colleague Alyssa Rosenberg) and that her dance moves belong in the “bedroom.”
But he won’t stop! He told People
that he can’t believe the Obamas let their daughters listen to her
music, whose lyrics he has called “obnoxious and toxic mental poison.”
(That would be a passable album title.) “I don’t understand,” he told
the magazine, “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 Beyoncé’s lyrics.
