Is Huckabee a Waterboarder?
Mike Huckabee is a Baptist minister from Arkansas, and I happen to know from personal experience that the Baptists invented waterboarding.
When I was a kid, they used to come down to our swimning hole at McKissock’s farm, on a bend in Glade Run creek, and chase us all out of the water so they could baptize their new recruits.
There was no Passenger Bill of Rights for the Baptist Rites of Passage. They held each one of them underwater three times and mumbled things until the lucky inductee was damn near drowned. I was a Catholic kid. We used a “font” in the back of the church and just sprinkled some water on babies’ heads, so I thought the Baptists were barbaric.
I won’t vote for Huckabee even if his running mate is Mitt Romney, a loyal American who believes that the Garden of Eden is in the Middle West, not the Middle East. Or at least that’s what he’s supposed to believe, because Mormon founder Joseph Smith proclaimed that Eden is in Missouri and said that, after the Fall, the descendants of Adam and Eve moved down the Missouri and Mississippi valleys.
That would suggest that Noah was actually Huckleberry Finn, and I’m not going to waste my vote on that. I mean, even aside from the waterboarding, Noah was just a fictional character.
