The top-read story on Politico has quite the catchy headline: “Mike Huckabee complains of ‘trashy’ women at Fox News.” The problem, as critics such as Hot Air’s Noah Rothman have pointed out, is that the former Arkansas governor never said anything of the sort.
Here is the actual Huckabee quote, from an interview with Des Moines radio host Jan Mickelson about a chapter in his new book “God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy“:
“I was shocked that you go into New York meetings… it’s one of those thing where in a business meetings that you might have in the South, or in the Midwest, there in Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the F-bomb or use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting. In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it. You’re just looking saying, ‘My gosh, this is worse than locker-room talk.’ This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a women, and for a women to say them in a professional setting… as we would say in the South, that’s just trashy.”
Zero mention of Fox News.
