Huckabee: Health care crisis a hooooooooooaax!

I can't believe how close this moron came to getting the Republican nomination.

Wait, actually I can. Rank stupidity has almost become a prerequisite for that.

For years, we've known that tens of millions of Americans have no health insurance. Fifteen years ago, that figure was generally cited at just under 40,000,000. It grows a little each year, and now it's close to 50,000,000.

But according to Mike Huckabee - Mr. UnfairTax himself - it's all a biiiiiiiiiig hoax by "the liberals."

On his Fox News show yesterday, Fuckapee declared there are only 5,000,000 uninsured Americans. Most of the other 45,000,000, he says, just haven't filled out the insurance paperwork.

Seriously. He said that.

Maybe the reason they didn't fill out the paperwork is because they couldn't get insurance. Ever think of that?

Of course, don't expect logic to ever be absorbed by Mike Huckabee's meager brain cells.

At least Huckabee told this whopper on a network that is nearly synonymous with lies and bullying, instead of cluttering a more respectable channel. Then again, the FCC used to take a dim view of stations deliberately distorting the news.
