  • "And I can-a even appeal-a to the Italians!"

Back in September, with Election Day drawing near, future Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback finally gave in to pressure and distanced himself from Lou Engle, the praying-in-tongues loon behind Kansas City-based TheCall.

Engle and Brownback had been roommates for a time, and Engle had since revealed himself to be a gay-bashing kook. Especially troublesome was his support for Ugandan legislation that would have made being gay punishable by life in prison or even death -- not the type of views an American politician needs to be associated with, as Mike Huckabee may eventually find out.

Huckabee is mulling another run for president, and according a story on Politico yesterday, "he will unquestionably be a force to be reckoned with in the fight for the nomination."

But Huckabee, like Brownback, loves him some Lou. Here's him from back in September, before The Call's event in Sacramento:


And, just in case you think we're overselling Lou's ickiness, here's him in Uganda, alongside the main architects of the aforementioned bill:


And here's a video of Will Ferrell professing his love for Lou, which I have to say was unexpected:

All these guys are hypocrites as usual killers . look humble, talk humbly but given chance , they can kill . Its all about money anyway with republicans . paying a black man to kill his brother . You go bahati and kill and you will follow your parents who committed sin nad die when you were young as you said sinners are punished by death . Then you dont have much time to live yourselve because you are a worst sinner in this world if you support hate and discrimination. what a shame of a public figure from africa . what are you proud of africa to stand in a country that promote equality and you start talking about hate and killing . shame on you . Look at kampala and how it looks like especially Owino with people pushing each other and pick pocketing each other in a dirty city and then you come up with this idea of all work that needs to be taken seriously. Look at orphanages cropping up in kampala like tourist centers and then you talk about about family values ? shame on you . families need to be tackled in a different way . Actually gays and women who dont want children in uganda is the only medicine to curb infant mortality rate and over population otherwise uganda is becoming a messy country soon if not already is . have ideas to help the world Mr bahati . That was a shame on MSNBC
