here is an interesting story on Mike Huckabee and his chances in the upcoming 2012 presidential race. John Miller pointed it out on the Corner a little while ago and I bring it up because of this interesting little window into the mind, attitudes and biases of the reporterette, Nicole Allen:
People are sometimes caught off guard by Huckabee’s intellectual competence because of his rural Arkansas habits (he and his wife lived in a trailer while the governor’s mansion was being renovated) and his outspoken evangelical views.
So if you have rural background “habits” and evangelical views, then any demonstrated intellectual competence will sometimes catch people off guard.
Isn’t it nice to have around our urban sophisticate betters who are untainted by any intolerances, biases, prejudices or superstitions of their own?
