Huckabee gets another base hit!

Mike Huckabee talked about Natalie Portman on the radio this week, but it wasn't to congratulate her on the Oscar win .
The former Arkansas governor and possible GOP presidential candidate in 2012 instead rolled the celebrity dice and used Portman as an example of the "distorted image" Hollywood supposedly provides of single motherhood.
To be fair, conservative talk radio host Michael Medved brought up the "visibly pregnant" Black Swan star and the "problematic message" she's sending. But Huckabee, ever the politician, took the ball and ran with it...  
"You know Michael," Huckabee replied, "one of the things that's troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look, you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having these children,' and they're doing just fine.
"But there aren't really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie," he said.

Leave it to the Huck to talk about out of wedlock pregnancy and leave Bristol Palin out of the conversation.  How about 21 year old single mothers being able to buy houses because they are a freak show on a radio station in Arizona?

Base hit? Nah -- I think he fouled it off again.

If you're counting, that's strike two.
