Huckabee has no credibility. Lile his predecessor as governor of Arkansas, Huckabee can look right into the camera and lie like a rug. It is the same thing that he does with his ethics problems. Arkansas has a law about governors not accepting gifts that carves out an exception for wedding gifts. So Huckabee concocted a phony “reaffirmation of marriage” and then put up a web site that encouraged people to give “wedding gifts”. And in Arkansas, when the governor “encourages” wedding gifts, we all know what that means and what kind of people are going to be making “the gifts”.
Other than to skirt the Arkansas law, there is no logical reason why any couple that has been married for 30 years would be going through “a reaffirmation of marriage” ceremony. When the hapless Wolf Blitzer interviewed Huckabee, Huckabee said the gifts were from “Targets”. One problem with that: The web site told people to go to Dillards.

[...] Mary Katharine Ham: “All in all, I think he looked Presidential, sounded serious and hit a lot of good refrains about faith in America that will play well with plenty of voters. I can’t imagine the snippets on the evening news could hurt him, and it will likely serve to make questions about his religion seem petty from here on out. Plus, we’ve been talking about Romney’s speech non-stop all week, sometimes to the exclusion of the illegal landscaper story, while Huckabee’s been taking a lot of bad press.” [...]

Oh Huck, don’t you know…just say it was a terrible mistake, and awful mistake that you will live with the rest of your days. But men make these mistakes and learn never to repeat them…never.

I think he might have defused this whole thing by taking a Trumanesque “the buck stops here” approach and admitting that he’d made an error in judgment and he’ll forever regret it. Instead he spends the first two minutes or so of the clip spreading the blame. Weak.

Good point… indeed.

Stick a fork in Huck. He seems to be unable to remove his preacher hat and his desire to turn the other cheek. A fine quality for a preacher, but not a civil leader. And for the longest time, the left leaning MSM rags have been fawning. That makes you go hmmmm.

Enough already.

Prosecutor wants moratorium on clemencies
Friday, Jul 16, 2004

LITTLE ROCK – Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley on Thursday asked Gov. Mike Huckabee to stop granting clemencies for violent criminals because of the unprecedented number of early prisoner releases during the governor’s eight years in office.

Jegley said Huckabee has granted 669 clemencies since he became governor in 1996. The previous three governors, Bill Clinton, Frank White and Jim Guy Tucker, granted a total of 507 clemencies during their 18 years in office, Jegley said.

“In eight years the governor has granted 31 percent more (clemencies) than the previous three governors did in 18 years in office,” Jegley said.

Last week, Huckabee issued proclamations granting clemency for Denver Witham, who is serving life in prison for a 1974 murder in Saline County, and for John H. Claiborne, who is serving 375 years in prison for a 1994 kidnapping and armed robbery conviction in Pulaski County. Both men are still in state custody and are waiting parole hearings before the state Post Prison Transfer Board. A board spokeswoman said those hearings probably would be in August.

Also last week, the governor announced he planned commute Dennis Lewis’ sentence of life in prison without parole to time served contingent upon the successful completion of a pre-release program. Lewis was convicted of capital murder in Washington County Circuit Court in 1975, for shooting a Fayetteville pawnshop owner. Earlier this month, Huckabee issued notice of intent to grant clemency to Glen Martin Green of Jacksonville, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1975 after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.

Don’t worry about Huck. He and Fred will make the grand tour after the nominations doing bladder control and e d commercials ala Bob Dole.
They will be the infomercial wunderkind.
