Beyonce, ‘My Dog Skip’ and cigarettes: 7 things we learned in Mike Huckabee’s new book

Huckabee thinks Miley Cyrus is a bad dancer but Beyonce is a good one.

He describes Cyrus’ 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance as one in which she “contorted her barely-clad, barely legal-age body in a disgustingly pornographic performance that showed just about everything she had — except talent — and focused national attention on a new term, ‘twerking,’ which describes a vulgar movement better saved for a stripper pole than prime-time television.”

Beyonce, however, is “incredibly talented … has an exceptional set of pipes” and “is a terrific dancer — without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom.” But he didn’t like her dance with husband Jay Z during the 2014 Grammy Awards to their song “Drunk in Love.”

“Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?” Huckabee wrote of the performance.

He’s also not a big fan of Rihanna’s style.

“I’ve seen dusty pickup truck windshields that were less see-through than the mesh ‘dress’ Rihanna recently ‘wore’ on the red carpet at a fashion show,” he noted.

6. His verdict on the Obamas’ parenting skills is still out.

Huckabee says that he’s “generally admired the parenting instincts of the First Couple,” but is appalled that they let their daughters listen to Jay-Z and Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love.”

“With the First Lady so concerned about making sure her daughters’ bellies don’t ingest unhealthy food, how can she let their brains ingest obnoxious and toxic mental poison in the form of song lyrics?”

7. He’s allergic to cigarette smoke

“I suppose I’m lucky to be highly allergic to tobacco smoke, because I’ve never smoked a single cigarette and never wanted to.”
