.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) weighed in on the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, saying the crime was no surprise because we have “systematically removed God” from public schools.

“We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools,” Huckabee said on Fox News. “Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?”

This line of reasoning isn’t new for Huckabee.

.

“Zero Dark Thirty” screenwriter Mark Boal did not receive classified documents from the Obama administration. That’s the word from Boal himself in a new interview with the ABC News show “Nightline.”

“I certainly did a lot of homework, but I never asked for classified material. To my knowledge I never received any,” Boal said in the interview, which is set to air on Monday night. “As far as the controversy goes — how can I put this? — it was an election year. It was real and bizarre to have major players in the Republican party characterizing the script and the movie before I had even written a word. I found that really baffling.”

Who knew?
