Mr. Barbour, a […]

Another Pardon Problem

Politics

The other night I covered the pardon problems of Mike Huckabee and Tim Pawlenty. Now a new GOP pardon problem comes to life. This one doesn’t involve a presidential candidate, but rather a former President and aTea Party darling: Though it’s typically pardon-empowered governors who must fret about their felons in the closet, legislators can […]

The GOP Pardon Problem

Misc

Remember the story of Maurice Clemmons? He was a man that executed four Washington State police. Clemmons was essentially serving a life sentence in Louisiana for a series of burglaries, rape and a bunch of other nasty crimes.

Mother Jones: Send a public records request seeking documents from his 12-year stint as Arkansas governor, as Mother Jones did recently, and an eyebrow-raising reply will come back: The records are unavailable, and the computer hard drives that once contained them were erased and physically destroyed by the Huckabee administration as the governor prepared to […]

Time To Talk Tough And Show Your Junk!

Society

I love it. Every time some new big outrage rips through the nation, politicians take to the airwaves to whip it out and see who has the biggest. Take Mike Huckabee for example: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says execution is the appropriate punishment for the leaker who provided thousands of State Department documents to […]

Mike Huckabee – The Poster Child For Separation Of Church And State

Misc

Joe Conason has a very enlightening piece up about Mike Huckabee and his addiction to letting criminals walk free. In the article Conason points out something very interesting, yet missed in this debate: Huckabee has proudly declared on many occasions that he disdains the separation of church and state, insisting that his strict Baptist piety […]
