Did Huckabee announce that he probably wouldn’t run today, before or after this criminal was named as a possible suspect? Does anyone know?

These type cases were talked about regarding Huckabee during the campaign. One may now have come back to haunt him. I hope and pray not...but you do not grant violent criminals clemency...or you get this in return.

Tragically stupid decision from Huckabee provides more anti-GOP fodder for the Seattle Times. What was Huckabee thinking? Was he fishing for Dem votes or is he just a cretin?

They go hand in hand.

Huckabee is now toast. Yay! One less Sarah-hater to complicate things for her.

Are we sure she didn't pardon a rapist or murderer?

Both were DOA long before this.

The worst thing the GOP could do is put either of these goobers up as their standard bearer.

I don't like Huckabee but he pardoned the guy nine years ago. However, it reflects on his judgment. Most recent to this tragedy, this is what happened:

Clemmons had been in jail in Pierce County for the past several months on a pending charge of second-degree rape of a child.

He was released from custody just six days ago, even though he was wanted on a fugitive warrant out of Arkansas and was staring at eight felony charges in all out of Washington state.

Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing of four Lakewood police officers this morning, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.

Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protestations of prosecutors.

Maybe that's why Huck said this morning on Fox that he won't be running in 2012. Huck will have a lot of explaining to do. As Tammy Bruce says, he is a liberal man of faith, not a conservative.

FOX should deep-six that grinning idiot Huckabee now.
