Did Mike Huckabee, aspiring to be the Nanny-In-Chief, have gastric bypass surgery?

It wouldn’t shock me. I see him as a Republican version of Bill Clinton, minus the womanizing (including the involuntary relations with women).

This seems to be a pretty good refutation of the speculation. Not that it makes me any more inclined to vote for a nanny, even one who follows his own advice.
