Here's the thing about Mike Huckabee: just when you start to think he might be a reasonably decent guy (at least compared to the rest of the Republican presidential field), he reminds you of what an absolute asshole he really is.

The latest example: he thinks President Obama's decision to give up defending unconstitutional discrimination in the Defense of Marriage Act will "destroy" the Obama presidency. CBS:

In an interview with CBS News political consultant John Dickerson, Huckabee said the decision could "destroy" President Obama, though not marriage itself. "It may destroy him [Obama], may destroy his credibility, may destroy his campaign and candidacy and ultimately his term in office," Huckabee said.

And why does Huckabee think it will destroy Obama?

"He himself didn't take this position when he ran for president. I think if he had, he wouldn't be president," Huckabee said.

Except that's Bullshit. With a capital B. President Obama opposed DOMA throughout the campaign and supported its repeal.

Huckabee's dickishness doesn't stop with distorting Obama's record, however. Not even close. Get a load of this crap:

In his new book, "A Simple Government," the ordained minister writes that traditional families - those grounded in a marriage between a man and a woman - promote economic stability. "[Marriage] is the foundational form of government," Huckabee told CBS News.

Marriage is the foundational form of government? What the hell does that even mean? Was the American revolution fought over high divorce rates? Was the Egyptian revolution the result of too much casual dating?

And even if we took Huckabee seriously and we accepted that marriage really is the foundational form of government, then what does it say that every single American president has served alongside a male vice president? If same-sex marriage is so bad, then why hasn't he ever complained about same-sex government?
