Huckabee Makes Palin Coke-Snorting Joke

Mike Huckabee is living proof that just because you're an ordained Southern Baptist minister, it doesn't mean you can't crack a joke about snorting cocaine. The former Arkansas governor appeared on Fox News' Red Eye to talk about Sarah Palin's views on marijuana use. He wrapped up the segment with a smoothly delivered punch line:
After Sarah Palin made these comments she then produced a gram of coke from her purse and did line after line on the glass table.
The moment those words left his lips, Huckabee knew he would hear of them again from the blogosphere.
This is gonna be on YouTube. I can feel it coming on.
