Former Arkansas governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee was critical of Oscar winner Natalie Portman yesterday, for being pregnant out of wedlock.

The potential presidential candidate spoke on Michael Medved's radio show Monday saying:

    "People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, 'We're not married but we're having these children and they're doing just fine. I think it gives a distorted image. It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of- wedlock children."


He went so far as to call Portman's pregnancy with Black Swan costar and fiance Benjamin Millepied, "troubling."

Huckabee put it in the context of women with fewer resources that the successful actress: "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."
