Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) held a question and answer session on Facebook on Monday to field inquiries about his bid for president, but ultimately he was forced to answer quite a few bizarre questions entirely unrelated to the issues of the campaign.

The former governor addressed questions about “the Illuminist,” living with bears, and whether he is gay.

Huckabee took many of the more bizarre questions in good humor and even attempted a few puns.

Eventually, Huckabee gave up and told his supporters he was headed to a radio interview.

“I have to jump off to do some radio interviews. Sorry I couldn’t get to all of your questions. We will continue to do more of these in the future,” he wrote in an update on Facebook.

But he left a few fun questions unanswered, including one about the Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theory, an issue a few politicians have addressed.

  1. That question about the “coming economic collapse” would have been even more hilarious and snarkworthy if, the first time I clicked on it, there weren’t a sponsored link below this TPM article hawking some sort of drivel about a Wall Street “panic” and “Bloody Wednesday” or whatever sort of despicable panic-strewing is involved. I do wish responsible news sites didn’t have this stuff but they all do, as far as I can tell. Sad.

  2. If Clinton can be impeached for a consensual affair with a woman over age 21 (an adult), then Huckleberry hound should be given a life sentence for being a pedophile, surrounding himself with fellow pedophiles, and for defending pedophiles.

    Huckleberry hound is totally warped individual - the US Religiou right is as extreme as any in the middle east and our nation’s has more to fear from the likes of this wing nut than any foreign threat. He is a complete crazy man and worse of all - he preaches it to others (mostly people in cults or living in double wides).

    Ron Paul is also among those who are pushing financial panic.

  4. Gosh, did HUCK SINN answer any questions about why he let Wayne Dumond and Maurice Clemmons out of jail so they could kill again?

  5. Mike Huckabee, I have a question for you. Why does your perspective always seem to come from anger and judgment? It just seems a very unChrist like way to view things and a reflexive policy of always promoting war just seems wrong (and unChristian again). How come?
