Huckalberry gets pwned.

Recounted and commented upon at Reason online.
“Who is your favorite author?” Aleya Deatsch, 7, of West Des Moines asked Mr. Huckabee in one of those posing-like-a-shopping-mall-Santa moments.
Mr. Huckabee paused, then said his favorite author was Dr. Seuss.
In an interview afterward with the news media, Aleya said she was somewhat surprised. She thought the candidate would be reading at a higher level.
“My favorite author is C. S. Lewis,” she said.
Pandering to a 7 year old, and being made to look like an absolute chump: priceless.

Quite honestly, Huckabee scares me. I personally think he is kind of a bigot. This is kind of funny though!
Alan says:

Bill Smith says:
He who would lie to a child would pick a pocket.
Bill Smith says:
Seriously, That kid must be home schooled. At 7 she knows what an author is.
