There are many more independents and liberals here in the heartland than Mike Huckabee wants to admit. He already knows it but that just didn't fit on the banner that he fingerpainted with Scott Walker and Rick Perry during Arts and Crafts hour.

As a representative of the "American Heartland" woman, in my forties, I hate to break it to M. Hucks, but we've been smoking, swearing, fucking, and drinking in the flyover states for quite a while now. Wearing pants, voting, showing our ankles, the whole shebang. It's like we think we're people or something.

This is Fox pivoting somewhat to the reality that if they want younger viewers and particularly female viewers, they have to act like they're not in line with the old white men of the GOP who won't shut up.

Whenever Mike Huckabee speaks, I want to make a jack-off motion with my hand.
