Former Arkansas Governor/GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has drawn some on-line attention for something he said about miniskirts — something that was printed in a magazine called Marie Claire:
Q: I read that you’re against miniskirts.
A: If a person dresses provocatively, they’re calling attention — maybe not the most desirable kind — to private parts of their body.
Q: What about a burka?
A: No, that hides everything. I think a person’s hair, arms, shoulders, legs are an appropriate display of who they are. I want people to be attracted to me because they find me interesting, not because I’m wearing something … well, I doubt I own anything provocative.
Q: How about a minskirt?
A: A thong.
Here’s what Huckabee said about it all during a news conference today in Des Moines: "If anyone reads that, they know that my tongue was planted firmly in the cheek. If anybody reads that and has anything more than a humorous reaction, they really should get some serious therapy, get a life and move on with some things. It’s amazing to me."
