Huckabee is a laughing-stock, but not because he likes squirrel

Look, I’m no fan of Mike Huckabee. He’s a yahoo religious fanatic wolf in populist sheep’s clothing. But making fun of him for admitting to eating squirrel is nothing more than effete urban middle-class liberal prejudice. Even a Yankee transplant like me knows enough to appreciate Piedmont delicacies like Brunswick Stew. Of course, as the late lamented Scruggs would no doubt have been the first to note if he were still among us, the Kossak squirrels probably just fear they’ll end up on dinner plates themselves.
