He knew it would sound great and brave and gallant to the followers but would never actually come to pass. But to me this is the money quote: > [@](#): > > “I’m willing to go in her place,” he said, adding he was tired of the “tyranny” in this country of people not being able to practice their beliefs. So, I guess that means that if a Muslim clerk refused to grant marriage licenses unless the couples pledged to follow all the tenets of Sharia law then Huckabee would defend them too. Yeah…The day pigs fly out of my ass, he would! ---

For some reason, Huckabee gets listed as one of the honest, sincere politicians on the Republican side. This nonsense puts paid to that notion forever. Not only is he a dishonest sleazebag, but he clearly thinks his followers are idiots who know nothing about the way our judicial system works. I like to believe that my political/ideological opponents are on average as smart as my political/ideological allies. Please, right-wing Christians: tell Huckabee he’s being a condescending asshole, so I can maintain this belief. ---

Panem, it’s possible to “volunteer” as “tribute” in order to take the place of someone who has been sentenced. ---
