[...]It's a full-time job, holding the glib but factually challenged former governor of Arkansas to the facts.
Here, the Arkansas Leader sets out to correct nationally televised misstatements by Mike Huckabee concerning his clemency for accused cop killer Maurice Clemmons and his mangling of provisions in the Senate health care [...]
During an appearance this week at the Clinton School, former Gov. Mike Huckabee denied that his religious faith affected his clemency decisions.

Redemption is one thing. Stupidity is another. But I repeat myself when it comes to Mike Huckabee.
Still .... The question raised by Foreign Policy is whether the Fox News broadcast host is preparing to give some air time to a Japanese war apologist.
Huckabee, the former (and likely future) Republican [...]
From the beginning of the Maurice Clemmons clemency discussion, liberals have urged compassion for Mike Huckabee's role in freeing the man who's believed to have killed four law officers. But conservatives, too, have raised questions about a no-mercy prison system. Today it's the New York Times' Ross Douthat talking' [...]
Monthly polling shows all Republicans gaining on President Obama, with Mike Huckabee doing best, in a virtual dead heat -- 46 Obama, 45 Huckabee. Huckabee's numbers up with Dems, down a bit with Repubs. Democrats like soft-on-crime liberals, apparently.
UPDATE: To all those looking for a Christmas present for' [...]
Michael Gerson made the case yesterday in The Washington Post:
Some professions involve decisions about life and death. When treatment by a doctor results in death and suffering — as treatments sometimes do — we ask whether the initial choices were reasonable or negligent. The standard applied to governors [...]
Former Gov. Mike Huckabee appeared on The Daily Show last night. Of course, the issue of Maurice Clemmons' clemency was discussed, though I still think that Huckabee is trying to skip out on his personal responsibility to the families of the dead' [...]
Former Alaska governor and GOP rock star Sarah Palin finally weighed in on the commutation of Maurice Clemmons, an issue that has brought former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee a fair amount of heat over the past week and a half.
“It was a bad decision obviously, but my heart goes [...]
Smackdown time. Caribou Barbie raps Mike Huckabee on the Maurice Clemmons' clemency. The Huckster has been clearly working hard to remain civil as Palin dominates the best-seller lists and attention of the right-wing Republican base. This could bring out the jabbing, jiving, wise-cracking Huckabee that we know so well.
In' [...]
I've been ignoring this all day, but no more. Mike Huckabee has placed his Fox column blaming others for alleged cop killer Maurice Clemmons in the Washington Post, the New York Daily News and other places.
It's more of the same. Yes, he commuted Clemmons' sentence in Arkansas, but others' [...]
David Sanders of Stephens Media uncovers yet another case of misjudgment by former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee involving Eugene Fields who was convicted of multiple DWIs. Mr. Fields wife, Glenda, was a five-figure donor to the state Republican Party. Mr. Huckabee granted him clemency in 2004 after serving only [...]
A precious few defenders (here are two, courtesy of The Huckster) are repeating Mike Huckabee's line that the parole board was somehow to blame for Maurice Clemmons' freedom to kill four Washington cops. It was the board that recommended a commutation. It was the board that paroled him after [...]
State Sen. Gilbert Baker won today's straw poll at the Republican Party of Arkansas' annual meeting held today in Hot Springs. He garnered about 35% of the votes cast. Second place was businessman and Mike Huckabee's 1992 campaign manager Curtis Coleman with' [...]
I was reminded this morning of this letter to former Saline County prosecutor Robert Herzfeld in response to a letter he sent to then Governor Mike Huckabee criticizing his clemency process.
It was only a matter of time before someone took the time to parody Mr. Huckabee’s [...]
Tim Pawlenty cheesily took advantage of Mike Huckabee's clemency decision in the cop-killer case by suggesting he'd never do such a thing.
Mitt Romney inserted the knife in Huck much more effectively, without seeming to do so. Why, Romney told an interviewer, he has great empathy for Huckabee. He thinks the [...]
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee gave an interview to Christianity Today and was asked about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and her political future. Ms. Palin was in Fayetteville, Arkansas today signing copies of her book.
A lot of people compare you and Sarah Palin as conservative Christian candidates. What [...]
Below is video from KARK/KNWA-TV that appeared on CNN regarding the pardon of Maurice Clemmons. The individual speaking is Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley, who says that Clemmons wouldn't have been up for parole until 2021 if former Gov. Mike Huckabee had not' [...]
Seattle columnist, (who goes on to make the cruelest sort of Huckacut, suggesting that Mike Huckabee donate book royalties to families of slain Washington police officers):
Curious to a politician who wears faith on his sleeve, ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has engaged in Pilate-like hand washing over commuting the prison [...]
Former Gov. Mike Huckabee was a call-in guest on this morning's The Joe Scarborough Show on WABC radio. While on the program, Huckabee tried to defend himself against charges that he let Maurice Clemmons out of jail too soon. Check out the [...]

It’s got to be a tough [...]

Timothy Eagan of The New York Times writes that Mike Huckabee’s presidential aspirations are sunk as a result of the shootings in Washington state.
If this case does not sink the presidential aspirations of Huckabee, a leading Republican candidate, it should. By the standards that Republicans launched almost 20 years [...]
Maurice Clemmons, 37, the man suspected of killing four police officers in Washington state was shot and killed this morning, reports The New York Times.

Media are reporting that Maurice Clemmons, the Arkansas ex-con sought in the slayings of four police officers, was fatally shot by police in Seattle about 5:30 a.m. Little Rock time.
