<p>In an interview with <a href="http://www.beliefnet.com/story/228/story_22873_1.html#">beliefnet</a> today, Mike Huckabee was asked to explain his recent suggestion that the Constitution be amended to reflect God&rsquo;s standards.</p>

<p>His reply starts off sounding a lot like what Chris Pyle, a longtime Huckabee aide, <a href="http://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/did-he-really-say">suggested</a> to me yesterday, focused on marriage and the life of the unborn.</p><br />

<p>But then he launched this whopper:</p>

<p><em class="quote">Well, I don&rsquo;t think that&rsquo;s a radical view to say we&rsquo;re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we&rsquo;re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what&rsquo;s been historic.</em></p>

<p>Is this his idea of damage control?</p>
