I’m not even a Huck fan. I think of him as a tax-raising “moderate” posing as a conservative. I’d heard the criticisms that he was pardon-happy.

@Jack Brooks: Missing the point, Jack. Read Huck’s own statement. It’s weaselly. It shifts blame. It’s not a stand-up thing. I’m not as concerned with what happened as with Huck’s reaction to what happened. He can’t even say, “I commuted the sentence.” If he did that–and then explained his reasoning–that’d be one thing, but he puts it all in third person, as though he had nothing to do with anything. Not presidential.

I don’t know how bad the Arkansas justice system was, or is. I doubt it’s top- of-the-line. But if the system recommended this man at that time for commutation of sentence, they might have had justifiable reasons. And it’s possible the man got worse over time, as mental patients can do, rather than him being this much of a lunatic at that time. There’s a lot to this story that’s not being reported, and probably to wreck Huckabee. Why are you all trusting the MSM on their reportage of this story?

“Isn’t the public entitled to know (from Huckabee) the exact grounds for the parole so so the public can judge the involvement and reasons for Huckabee’s decision. If his decision is based on a strong and credible recommendation, it may be justified.”

Have to agree with you on all points, Stan; I supported Huck way back, and I guess I might have in 2012, but I’m with you.
