Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee twisted a question about Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen to joke about his wife’s “yelling” during Tuesday’s Fox Business undercard debate.
Asked by moderator Sandra Smith if Yellen was the right person to lead the United States’ central banking system, Huckabee replied, “Well my wife’s name is Janet, and when you say Janet yelling I’m very familiar with what you mean.”
The audience at Milwaukee theater responded to Huckabee’s joke with laughter and an enthusiastic round of applause.
Huckabee went on to say that the Federal Reserve is in “big trouble” because it has failed to address stagnant wages that affect low-income workers.
Watch below:
“It’s so funny when the women folk attempt to take the reins and give their obviously superior mate the what-for.”
And a good laugh was had by all.
The Republican Undercard Debate: not making it as candidates, not making it as politicians, not making it as comics.
Foreshadowing the General election attitudes to come.
I’m happy to not be watching this foll-de-rol. So Mikey’s wifey yells at him? Hmmmm, sounds likea not-so-fun marriage to me. Mrs darr and I have been married 3 + decades and in all that time we’ve raised our voices to each other maybe twice or three times. We negotiate our differences. Maybe it’s because she’s my best friend and I respect her. And vice versa.
These guys apparently need to bone up on what humor is.
Oh, seriously – what??
What about Congress? What about the rules that have allowed fat-cat corporations to move production overseas – and get tax rebates for doing so!!??
