The Spectrum of Aberration

Greg Sargent interviewed a Huckabee spokesperson today about the excerpts from Huckabee’s late ’90s book that received so much attention yesterday.

In trying to, um, what I guess we’ll call “clarify” what Huckabee meant in the book, Joe Carter offered the following observations:

“He’s not equating homosexuality with necrophilia,” Carter told us. “He’s saying there’s a range of aberrant behavior. He considers homosexuality aberrant, but that’s at one end of the spectrum. Necrophilia is at the other end.”

Carter added: “No way is he saying that homosexuality is like having sex with dead people. That’s not it at all.”
