According to CNN's Political Ticker, Janet Huckabee revealed her history of violence during a tea party at the South Carolina governor's mansion:

"I have fired a grenade launcher and hit the target two out of three times, so I think that's pretty good odds for me," she said, noting that she had a special interest in military matters and has also jumped out of an airplane, flown in an F-16 and shot an MP5 submachine gun.

"I just was at the National Guard training camp at Camp Robinson and they just said we just want to, you know, introduce you to some of the equipment and some of the military guns that they have. And so one of them happened to be a grenade launcher, and so I shot it, and they said, 'You're good.' And I said, 'Thank you.'"

She's like the Ted Nugent of first ladies, and unless Judith Giuliani can find a way to drop a MOAB by Christmas, New Hampshire's NRA members may find Mrs. Huckabee irresistible.
