Former Governor (and likely presidential candidate) Mike Huckabee has criticized President and First Lady Obama for allowing their teenage daughters to listen to Beyoncé.

According to the New York Post, Huckabee made the comments in an interview with People:

While promoting his new book, Huckabee told People magazine, “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 yet they don’t see anything that might not be suitable” in the lyrics and a Beyoncé choreography “best left for the privacy of her bedroom.”

Huckabee described the Grammy Award-winning Beyoncé in his book as “mental poison.”

The former Governor may be right, in principle, but is this the wisest political move?

While it may be true that Queen Bee's last album's lyrics are pretty explicit (in fact, there are many websites devoted to ranking them in order of offensiveness) Huckabee's formula for future electoral success may not be a combination of attacking Obama's parenting choices and attacking one of the most popular performers on the planet. .
