&lt;p&gt; &lt;img id="cid_1094680" src="/files/p10496201299262591.gif" alt="portman guest lecturer" hspace="5px" width="285"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Natalie Portman, who has a BA in Psychology from Harvard, a guest lecturer at Columbia University, who has  co-authored scientific research papers, speaks several foreign  languages, who is 30, financially secure and not a burden on society, is  a terrible role model according to Mike Huckabee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"You know Michael, one of the things that's troubling is that people see a  Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey  look, you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're  having these children, and they're doing just fine.' But there aren't  really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars  every year for being in a movie. And I think it gives a distorted image  that yes, not everybody hires nannies, and caretakers, and nurses. Most  single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it  weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death  and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing,  and it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of  children wedlock"  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seriously? What reality is Huckabee living in? In my reality Bristol Palin was uneducated, on assistance (from her mom, a government employee), unwed teenager who was rewarded with a role on Dancing With The Stars and given a lucrative book deal for her memoirs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;img id="cid_1094681" src="/files/bristol_palin1299262634.jpg" alt="palin unwed" hspace="5px" width="285"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which exactly glorified and glamorized 'the idea of out of children wedlock.' &lt;/p&gt;
