Mike Huckabee (R) says "eggs are Americans, too"

Wendy at Colorado Confidential has an excellent analysis:

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee endorsed Colorado's "egg as a person" state ballot measure on Monday, but for whose benefit -- Zygote Americans or his own dwindling political fortunes? Huckabee made the announcement after spending time in Colorado Springs last weekend wooing religious conservative voters between a paid speaking gig at a Leadership Program of the Rockies event and a private chat with his old buddy, Rev. James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family.

While Huckabee's endorsement is being ballyhooed in the press as a boon to the ballot measure, the Baptist minister and former Arkansas governor has a long record of attempting to not just ban abortion but also contraception. Likewise, Arkansas has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation and there is a staggering need for contraceptive services in a state where nearly half the women have no access to publicly funded family planning programs, as noted by the Guttmacher Institute. His support of Colorado's proposed Amendment 36 is hardly a revelation to anybody paying attention.

Go read the rest. And then contemplate a KHOW host who's a lawyer who says "humans don't have eggs."

They are just flailing in public, now.
