Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is criticizing Oscar-winner Natalie Portman's pregnancy because she's not married. In an interview with radio talk show host Michael Medved that took place on Monday but that's getting traction today, Huckabee said that Portman's out-of-wedlock pregnancy was "troubling." "It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea" of having children without being married, Huckabee said on the program. Huckabee is widely viewed as a possible presidential candidate. He has a contract to appear on Fox News, which is owned by News Corp., publisher of the Wall Street Journal. Portman's publicist did not respond to a request for a comment. Excerpts from Huckabee's interview: --"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 children, and they're doing just fine' But there aren't really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie." --"Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing." --"You know, right now, 75 percent of black kids in this country are born out of wedlock. 61 percent of Hispanic kids 52; across the board, 41 percent of all live births in America are out of wedlock births. And the cost of that is simply staggering."

The only people that want to get married nowadays are the queers because they'll never get ADC welfare checks, food stamps, & free Section 8 housing anyway.
