The Evolution of Mike Huckabee
By Kerry Trueman, Eating Liberally
Ah, the ghosts of Christmas past. Here's a souvenir from the days when Mike Huckabee was a morbidly obese diabetic whose doctor gave him ten years to live if he didn't shape up.
That was four years ago. Huckabee took his doctor's warning to heart and shed more than a hundred pounds by adopting a healthier diet and
becoming a marathon runner. Now that he's half the man he was, Huckabee's a great poster boy for eating right and exercising. He's one of those rare Republicans, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who's been willing to condemn the sale of junk food in schools.
He's also one of the only two Republican presidential candidates (along with John McCain) who's willing to concede that climate change is a real crisis. But as progressive as he may be on issues like the obesity epidemic and global warming, Huckabee doesn't believe in evolution. Guess he hasn't seen this video:
