Squirrel meat enthusiast Mike Huckabee tells it like it is, whether he's scolding Beyonce, or scolding people who like disco, or scolding world leaders who like to listen to Beyonce. The Huckabee scold train returned to Grand Central this past week, when Huckabee went off on all the trashy NYC ladies with a penchant for cussing.
"In Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting," Huckabee said during a radio interview on Friday. "In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it!"
"And you just are looking around saying my gosh this is worse than locker room talk," he continued. "This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman and for a woman to say them in a professional setting, we would only assume that this is a very—as we would say in the south—that's just trashy!"
You can hear part of that below:
Huckabee was also put under the magnifying glass for making comments about profane women at Fox News, but he set the record very straight today: he was talking about all NYC women, not just Fox News ladies. Or, wait, he WASN'T talking about female employees of Fox News, see, he was just talking about all the riff raff businessbitches crawling around Midtown. Wait, is that different?
with a screaming headline alleging that I said the “women of Fox News are trashy.” Not only have I said the exact opposite both in print and in interviews, but it’s apparent that the writer of the story was unable to find any evidence of such a thing.
I spoke of the profanity used in normal conversations in business settings in New York, but neither in the book nor in interviews said or even intimated that I was speaking about the “women of Fox News.” To say that is either the result of wishful thinking as to what they hoped I said or just plain inability to read and comprehend.
So yes, he was just talking about normal fucking women talking in normal fucking conversations. Ordinary fucking people! Why can't the dumbass NY media fucking get that?
Anyway, we all know that NYC women are the best fucking women in the world, so leave your stupid comments in your pocket buddy. Elaine speaks for all of us:
