From "First Tomboy" to "First Lady"
Mike Huckabee's celebrity mouthpiece, Chuck Norris, is
extolling the virtues of having a First Lady who can hunt rattlesnakes and fire a grenade launcher. According to the Karate Killer, "Janet (Huckabee) always has loved the outdoors and taking physical risks. She has sky-dived with the Golden Knights, landed in an F-18 on an aircraft carrier, bungee jumped, hunted rattlesnakes and bears, completed two marathons, and fired a grenade launcher -- hitting the target two out of three times. She even earned a place in the Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame by riding a jet ski down the entire Arkansas River. Her love for adventure is one reason Janet was nicknamed the "first tomboy" of Arkansas." In addition to her numerous daredevil accomplishments, Norris cites Janet Huckabee's academic achievements such as attending Ouachita Baptist University and graduating with honors in organizational management from John Brown University.
Now let's see if Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain can do bungee jumping.

Funny. Maybe they'll do a sitcom after finishing campaigning, something like "Huckabees' Fun Family Values."
Reminds me of Janet Reno somehow. Her story ran a trajectory from initial fascination, with lots of biography in the news, including gator wrasslin', to Tim McVeigh et. al. not being too thrilled by Waco, to Auntie Janet worrying about Elian Gonzalez getting the proper childhood, to Will Ferrell doing "Janet Reno's Dance Party" on SNL...
