Mike Huckabee’s Hypocrisy, Criticizes Natalie Portman Skips Bristol Palin, Baby Mama Drama

Why did Mike Huckabee have to go all the way to Hollywood to find an unwed mother to pick on? The potential Presidential candidate could have just looked at his Fox News coworker, Sarah Palin and asked her if it was ok for him to pick on her daughter Bristol. For some reason Huckabee is working overtime to embed himself like an Arkansas tick into the minds of the far right wing as their guy when it comes to hot button social issues.

Huckabee criticized Portman for glorifying being pregnant and unwed with comments she made in her acceptance speech. What about Bristol Palin, who has built her notoriety largely on the fact that she was an unwed mother and daughter of her famous mother, Sarah Palin. Natalie Portman just won the Academy award for best actress, the fact that she is unwed and pregnant really does not factor into her fame.

If not for the fact that Bristol Palin was a pregnant, unwed teenager during her mother’s campaign for Vice President, she would have just been another one of Sarah Palin’s children, but her pregnancy was her notoriety. Bristol has used her unwed condition to become wealthy and famous. Sarah Palin’s daughter has been on one of the most popular shows on television, Dancing With The Stars die to her rise to fame.

Governor Huckabee you picked on the wrong unwed mother. It is much harder to become an Oscar winning actress with enormous talent that happens to be pregnant than to be a pregnant high school dropout and then rise to fame. It seems that your coworker’s daughter has sent a far more damaging message. You chose to select your baby mama drama by thinking you can double down by bundling a social issue with Hollywood elitism and get in deep with the far right fringe.
