Huckabee And Women's Bathrooms

[Pyrrho]

To be fair to Huckabee (not that he deserves fairness), he said that:

he wished he could have "found his feminine side" in high school so that he could have showered with girls.

I am pretty sure he is thinking of gym class in high school, in which group showers, at least in the past, were common.

That said, Huckabee seems to be, to quote Minimalist, "another sexually-repressed jesus freak motherfucker."

I swear that I read in another article a quote where he just said bathroom. I stand corrected on this issue

It is easy to misread something.  But you may not have misread some other article.  Many news outlets get little details wrong.  Some are particularly bad about it.  I recommend never trusting Fox News or MSNBC.  I am not a fan of huffingtonpost, either, though they used to be better than they are at present.  And they are not Fox News or MSNBC, so they are not the worst source possible.  (And yes, Fox News is obviously worse than MSNBC, but they both are not to be trusted.)

Anyway, you are not someone who I would accuse of being grossly irresponsible about the truth, so no worries on this.  (In fact, that is a bit of an understatement, but I hope that you understand me.  If you are unclear on my meaning, you can ask for clarification here or PM me.)

Also, Huckabee is an idiot and an asshole, so one will naturally reasonably suppose that whatever he is saying is likely to be ridiculous bullshit nonsense.  But, and this might be useful to remember, no one is so perfectly idiotic that absolutely everything they say is wrong. Some, though, come close to perfection, but still fail to be absolutely wrong in everything they say.


I remember in high school, and junior high school, not liking group showers.  I have never wanted to see naked boys, but, unfortunately, I cannot say that I have never seen them.  At the time, the idea of showering with the girls seemed like it would be an improvement, though I really would have advocated private showers for everyone.
