    Huck Rips West Wing

    Mike Huckabee just channelled Jed Bartlet during an answer about his suggestion in a sermon that wives should submit themselves to their husbands. Huckabee clarified the Biblical quote he was referring to: "As wives submit themselves to the husbands, the husbands also submit themselves."

    There's a West Wing episode where President Bartlet hears a pastor quote the first half of the same passage. Later, speaking with the First Lady, he points out the second half. So either Huckabee knows the Bible really well, or he's a closet Aaron Sorkin fan.

    (In the meantime, anyone got a YouTube link? Lemme know.)
