Mike Huckabee
October 19, 2006
"I have just come from six weeks at a concentration camp held by the Democrat Party of Arkansas in an undisclosed location, making a hostage tape. That's why I look that way."
—Huckabee, joking with former radio talk show host Don Imus about his 100-plus pound weight loss. Huckabee later denied the comment was a reference to the Holocaust or a slight against Jews and said: "I never identified a particular kind of camp, and to make such a far-reaching statement is laughable."
