Mike Huckabee Rips Natalie Portman Over Out-of-Wedlock Pregnancy
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsMike Huckabee slammed actress Natalie Portman on a radio show for glamorizing out-of-wedlock pregnancy at the Academy Awards and sending an irresponsible message to women. The former Arkansas governor and possible presidential hopeful said on "The Michael Medved Show" this week that most unwed mothers aren't able to support their children on a Hollywood actress' salary. "You know, Michael, one of the things that's troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look, you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having these ...
Mike Huckabee Disses Natalie Portman; Why Not Bristol Palin? Twitter Asks
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsNot so fast, Mike Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor is taking some serious heat for his comments on Monday criticizing Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman for being unmarried and pregnant. "People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, 'We're not married, but we're having these children, and they're doing just fine.' I think it gives a distorted image," Huckabee told conservative radio host Michael Medved. "It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of-wedlock children." The folks on Twitter seem to think that Huckabee forgot another out-of-wedlock pregnancy ...
Mike Huckabee Gets All BYU Honor Code on Natalie Portman
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsMike Huckabee, whose down-home sensibilities helped him in his 2008 bid for the GOP presidential nomination, may be speaking a little too freely these days. First, Huckabee incorrectly said that President Barack Obama spent part of his childhood in Kenya -- he later claimed he meant Indonesia -- and hinted that that put Obama out of touch with the average American. Now, Huckabee is criticizing new Academy Award winner Natalie Portman for being pregnant out of wedlock. On Monday, Huckabee went on Michael Medved's radio show and said, "People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, 'We're not ...
Opinion: DIY Conservatism
By Michael Medved - AOL News(July 6) -- For years, in my books and on my radio show I've promoted the concept of "do-it-yourself conservatism" -- making the case that the best way to prevent the inexorable growth of government at every level is to take more individual initiative in solving pressing problems. For example, instead of waiting for the president to succeed in reforming public schools, take control of your own children's education -- through home schooling or direct, forceful local involvement. Instead of complaining about the miserable values promoted by mass media, place yourself and the rest of your ...
Reader Feedback: Medved on Rand Paul's 'Meltdown'
By not in system - AOL News(May 26) -- Editors' note: Michael Medved's column on Rand Paul -- "Rand Paul's Amazing Meltdown" -- generated several reader letters. The following is a sampling. Letters have been edited for length and clarity. Word Choice Michael Medved, shame on you for using the word "meltdown" to describe Rand Paul's interview. I am neither a tea party candidate nor a registered Democrat, and I had not heard Rand Paul before viewing the video piece of the George Stephanopoulos interview. One could see that Stephanopoulos was indeed baiting Rand Paul with his questioning, especially when he retorted, ...
Elton John Would Have Voted No on Gay Marriage
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyMichael Medved posts over at Townhall.com that "one of the world's most prominent gay entertainers" doesn't want the right to get married. Said Sir Elton: I don't want to be married! I'm very happy with a civil partnership. The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnershipsMedved goes on to praise the "irrefutable logic of this clear-thinking superstar." Ironically, two years ago, almost to the day, Medved wrote a piece on Townhall criticizing Elton ...
