If you thought the Duck Dynasty firestorm had died down when A&E backed off on its decision to suspend Phil Robertson from his hit reality show, heres some fresh fuel: Old footage has surfaced on YouTube of the politically incorrect patriarch advising bachelors to get their brides young. <\/p>\n
You got to marry these girls when they are about 15 or 16. Theyll pick your ducks, Robertson said at a Sportsmens Ministry retreat in Georgia, discussing the merits of a wife who will clean his birds. The 67-year-old should know: He began dating his wife of 47 years, Miss Kay, when she was 14, marrying her two years later in 1966. <\/p>\n
You need to check with mom and dad about that, of course, Robertson advises in the footage. It was shot in 2009 but is now just coming back to haunt him in the wake of a GQ magazine interview in which he compares homosexuality to bestiality and argues that African Americans were happy in the pre-Civil Rights era. His comments sparked outrage among gay and civil rights advocates, but A&Es effort to discipline Robertson stirred a backlash among fans of the TV show, who launched a petition. <\/p>\n
Sharing what he called river rat counseling, he also tells the young men: Make sure that she can cook a meal. You need to eat some meals that she cooks, check that out. Make sure she carries her Bible. Thatll save you a lot of trouble down the road. <\/p>\n
With all that in mind, he laments, a good wife is getting hard to find. <\/p>\n
Mainly because these boys are waiting until they get to be about 20 years old before they marry them, he says. Look, you wait until they get to be 20 years old, the only picking thats going to take place is your pocket. <\/p>\n
