CHOICE FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME

UPDATE: full transcript here.

Huckabee plays stupid on the origins of homosexuality, just as Falwell did a few years ago. On the Jon Stewart Show, he's stumped in this exchange:
STEWART: Segregation used to be the law until the courts intervened.

HUCK: There’s a big difference between a person being black and a person practicing a lifestyle and engaging in a marital relationship.

STEWART: Okay, actually this is helpful because it gets to the crux of it. … And I’ll tell you this: Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice. Gay people don’t choose to be gay. At what age did you choose to not be gay?
