There are a lot (I mean, a lot) of substantive reasons for me not to like Mike Huckabee, but I also simply cannot abide his particularly contemptible brand of Folksy Conservative Aphorism, like: "The fact that I am being attacked is a good sign. It's a sign of life. This is hunting season. I'm a hunter. You don't ever point your gun at a dead carcass."

Ugh. Linguistically torturous, gross, and vaguely creepy.
