But isn't that what makes music and the rest of the arts so very interesting: collaboration. Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga comes to mind, but they still might be the kind of different that Mike Huckabee and Willie Nelson are. I guess Ms. Warwick put it best when she sang, "That's what friends are for."
Even in the hurly-burly world of the music business, Mike Huckabee probably won't be performing any duets with Jay-Z or Beyonce'. In his new book, "Guns, Grits and Gravy," Huckabee describes the Grammy Award-winning Beyoncé's lyrics as "obnoxious and toxic mental poison." He also accuses Beyoncé's husband, of "exploiting his wife" like a "pimp." Okay, so maybe he's got a point, or maybe he's on his way to make an even more insidious point. Promoting his new literary effort in People Magazine, Mike added this little swipe at the First Family: ”I don’t understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything – how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school and making sure they’re kind of sheltered and shielded from so many things – and yet they don’t see anything that might not be suitable for either a preteen or a teen in some of the lyrical content and choreography of Beyoncé, who has sort of a regular key to the door [of the White House].”
Now here is where I add the obvious connection between Mike Huckabee and Ted Nugent. You remember Ted? The author of such family-friendly anthems as "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" and "Cat Scratch Fever." I wonder if we should worry about how Mike is pimping Ted?

Um, hate to say I agree with Mike. I always wonder how Beyoncé can keep her wholesome America's sweetheart image going to the places she does...
