We don't often agree with some of the conservative politicians that we discuss here (like Sarah Palin ... and though they're not politicians, the Duggars), but Mike Huckabee's new book, taking about things ranging from Beyonce to the White House kind of has a few good ideas ... namely how Bey's selling herself short by overshadowing her music with overt, unnecessary sexuality, and the impact it's making on young women.
Here're a few choice excerpts that are pretty spot-on:
"Beyonce is incredibly talented – gifted, in fact. She has an exceptional set of pipes and can actually sing. She is a terrific dancer – without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom."

"Jay Z is a very shrewd businessman ... but I wonder: does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object? ... She must know that millions of young girls look up to her as a role model to emulate. And she even has a daughter herself now. So why has she done this?"
"With the first lady so concerned about making sure her daughters' bellies don't ingest unhealthy food, how can she let their brains ingest obnoxious and toxic mental poison in the form of song lyrics? If lived out, those lyrics would be far more devastating to someone's health than a cupcake."
So the bit about the pimp and the prostitute is out of line ... it's unnecessary to insult someone to that degree to make your point -- but the point still stands.
And the part about the lyrics of certain popular songs being more detrimental than a few cakes? We've been saying the same damn thing for a while now.
Spot on, Huckabee. Consider us baffled.
