Back in 2015, I interviewed presidential hopeful and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for C-SPAN’s “Book TV.” His newest book at the time, “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy” was a chicken-fried paean to all the “Bubbas” of the American heartland.
The god-fearing superiority of Bubbaville over the folks in coastal “Bubbleville” was Huckabee’s schtick, and he came by it naturally.
