Yesterday afternoon, Mike Fuckabee (thanks Elvis) criticized actress Natalie Portman for having a child out of wedlock. Today, Huckabee issued a non-apology apology which was very similar to his non-apology apology for claiming President Obama grew up in Kenya.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he wasn't criticizing Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman when he suggested her pregnancy was glamorizing the idea of having children outside of marriage. Huckabee on Friday accused "the Hollywood media" of distorting comments he made about Portman in a radio interview Monday. Huckabee said in that interview that it was "troubling" to see Portman or other celebrities having children while unmarried.
He simply misspoke, just like he misspoke when he claimed that what he meant to say was President Obama grew up in Indonesia, not Kenya, which would still be incorrect.
