Kevin Spacey, Mike Huckabee Brothers!

Hollywood--Now they're really taking the gloves off. In a move
by the McCain campaign intended to force presidential candidate Mike
Huckabee to withdraw from the race, McCain operatives have begun spreading
a rumor that actor Kevin
Spacey was fathered by Huckabee.
According to an inside source, Huckabee is supposed to have had a tryst
with a waitress working at a roadside diner during a trip to Mississippi
in 1958.
Huckabee would have been 4 years old at the time.
Huckabee:
Born August
24, 1955
"I know I'm sexy, but not that sexy," said Huckabee. "Actually, this
is just another of Senator McCain's dirty tricks. He's getting
desperate. Guess I'm going to have to get Chuck [Norris] after him."
So the McCain-spread rumor is not true. But as Huckabee himself might say,
"Where there's smoke, there's fire."
As the NewsLampoon investigated the story, the rumors that a relationship
between Spacey and Huckabee existed would not go away. Numerous
calls to Spacey went unreturned. Still we persisted.
Eventually we caught up with him at a Hollywood Starbucks, and finally the
truth came out.
Spacey: Born July
26, 1959
"I am Mike Huckabee's little brother," Spacey confessed. "It's not
something I'm proud of, we're about as far apart politically as you could
possibly be, but it's going to come out anyway, so I might as well tell
you."
"Our father took me on a trip with him when I was just a baby, and he lost
me somewhere in Mississippi. The rumor is he left me at a roadside
diner. Anyway, he never reported it to the police because it was too
embarrassing. So he just went on home with the faith that someone
would find me and I would be alright, which is what happened. But I
don't give credit to God, as my natural father might. I give it to
the people who found and nourished and raised me, who loved me.
My real parents, the Spaceys, not the Huckabees.
Are you happy now?"
Confronted with the truth, McCain's campaign manager was
unrepentent: "We thought the rumor we were spreading might be true."
