HUCK FOR THE HOLIDAYS Huckabees heart you
In case you were wondering, Janet Huckabee, wife of presidential candidate Mike, could blow your ass up with a grenade launcher if she wanted to. And she probably wants to.

As attention continues to migrate towards the surging candidacy of her holy rolling husband, all signs point to Mrs. Huckabee being hell on wheels: She hunts rattlesnakes, jumps out of airplanes, intimidates voters at polling stations, publicly insults the intelligence of her older son, beats spinal cancer into submission, and, maybe we're being paranoid here, but it looks like she just might be choking family dog Ranger in the above family photo. In short, we love her.

In addition to knowing her way around a grenade launcher, Janet Huckabee is licensed to carry a concealed weapon and, after losing the election for Arkansas secretary of state in 2002, said "If it wasn't for the grace of God, I'd have shot a few people already."

This could all go a long way in explaining the ill-mannered, heat-packing ways of Huckabee wild child David (who, incidentally, is reportedly now running the Team Huckabee website). If you're wondering if anything at all could possibly tame this tough customer, a quote from Huckabee's Arkansas past shows that, like some political reporters in recent weeks, Janet just melts when it comes to Big Huck. Asked in 1998 about her views on a Southern Baptist dictate about the proper role for a wife, Mrs. Huckabee said of her then-chubby hubby, "I submit to his leadership. He's the leader of our household both spiritually and financially. And he protects me, and I like that." Cute!
