More On Mike Huckabee’s Willie Horton Moment
Jane Jamison @ American Thinker:
Mike Huckabee should never hold an executive public office again. His self-absorbed behavior in the past forty-eight hours shows he believes his personal political aspirations are more important than a respectful mourning period for four police officers. The cops are dead in major part due to a decision Huckabee made nine years ago. Continued….

Huckabee apparently does not count as blemishes a net tax increase of half a billion dollars, college scholarships for illegal aliens, mass clemency, and a series of Carteresque foreign policy pronouncements, including advocacy of an end to the economic boycott of Cuba. [Emphasis added]
Earlier I had written about Huckabee’s mass clemency and reported that his private colloquies with Jesus had resulted in the release of more than 900 criminals. On December 18th, 2007, I posted a correction to the under-count of 900 because an Associated Press report said Huckabee had issued 1,033 pardons and commutations during his more than 10 years as Arkansas governor.
I also said in one of the linked post:
The last thing we need is somebody ensconced in the Oval Office having private chit-chats with the big “J”. We need somebody there that will devote lots of time to reading the Constitution and supporting our Border Patrol.
