Mike Huckabee Complains of ‘Trashy’ Women at Fox News By ADAM B. LERNER 1/27/15 Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said in a recent radio appearance that while in New York for his Fox News show, he experienced significant culture shock from all the “trashy” women swearing in a professional setting. “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,” Huckabee told host Jan Mickelson in a Friday appearance on Des Moines’ “Mickelson in the Morning.”

We’re fighting for our literal lives in the USA and profanity is the worst offense possible? Tell soldiers that.

He’s a dem, just plays a pub on TV.

I lived in Iowa half of my life. He’s out of his mind. It got so bad on the bus riding to work downtown that I scraped up enough money to buy an old car so I didn’t have to hear it every day. That was at least 20 years ago.

The use of profanity is basically the sign of a low IQ. Your brain cannot come up with a better phrase or word fast enough.

"Even if it is true. He’s an idiot for saying it."

Why?

I miss dothedhue!

"Hucklechuckle is running out of feet to shoot himself with."

Is it now considered gauche even on a conservative website to complain about the vulgarization of the language? You seem to be willing to yield a lot of territory to the left. Keep doing that and you'll end up cornered.

"My remark was, “doggone it, I forgot to get my medicine.” A man told me that was so 80’s and why didn’t I join this century. Really?"

It's actually 1880s. Or Jed Clampett. But that's ok with me.

“In the South... you would not have people who would just throw the F-bomb or use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting,”

Somebody who grew up in Arkansas under Bill and Hillary Clinton should know better.

Steve, It’s the trashy ‘women’ comment that bothers me. What? No men swear at FOX? His pointing out women will not gain any traction, not that he’s getting any traction anyway.

I clearly said it wasn’t OK for men, you can’t read, I then made it clear that it is worse when women do it?

Females can do a lot of things that are more common to males, and yes, it makes them look like trash.

Seriously, you have to have that explained to you?

[txhurl]

Is it OK to point out his trashy gratuitous guitar-playing?

"The use of profanity is basically the sign of a low IQ."

Our military must be populated with complete dumbasses then.

[wjcsux]

If Michelle Malkin is slapping you around, you screwed up big time!

[ansel12]

All you are doing is painting a picture of yourself.

As a feminist you can complain that men look down on you for trashy behavior that they may do themselves, including something as simple as keeping their cigarette in their mouth while doing things, but you can’t change how we see you for doing it.

This thread is the ultra Rorschach test.

... ‘Trashy’ Women at Fox News...not to be confused with all the trashy women at MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, The New York Times, Ladies Home Journal...............

My mom was born in 1904 and died in 2007. She reminded us of granny. She was an amazing Christian lady. Something else. We never ever heard her say anything bad about another person. Her dad died in 1926. He did not like for ladies to wear slacks so my mom never did. Her sisters did but she did not. She really honored her mom and dad all her life. Maybe that is one reason she lived so long. Everyone misses her and my dad. : (

Actually, in my work experience, the only people who ever talked trashy in a public work environment were in fact women, always lesbian or liberal women. They have a sense of entitlement about that sort of thing, an in-your-face and "What are you going to do about it?" attitude.
