As someone who has an undergraduate degree from Arkansas during the meteoric rise of Bill Clinton, I have been aware of Huck for a long, long time. In general, I have always believed his heart is in the right place. That said, as his political aspirations have overtaken, he has moved further right and become more shrill. (Or, he has always been this way and had me snowed.)

Any "oven" reference strikes me as particularly distasteful simply because I'm not certain he actually buys his own -- decade recent -- BS. But he's not campaigning for the state anymore, he's trying to woo a VP nomination on a national level by acting the religious hardliner.

1. I'm not buying anything but a sellout.
2. He doesn't have to win AR, locals don't matter.
3. This is about bold ambition.

That's very un-Christian from the reverend.
