>>Update: 12/01 1:28 P.M.: Just got off the phone with former Huckabee Presidential Campaign Manager Chip Saltsman. I asked him whether he thought the criticism the Governor is taking for the Clemmons commutation is fair.
-—“The Governor is a very spiritual person, and this hits him hard. It’s very personal to him,” he said. “It is a lot easier to blame the one guy in the process you know. But it’s a complicated and convoluted system in the state of Arkansas.
...Update: 12/01 8:15 A.M.: Huckabee took to the airwaves last night to defend his commutation of Maurice Clemmons’ sentence. In the friendly and familiar confines of Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News studio, the former Arkansas governor didn’t stray too far from the content of the statement released by HuckPAC on Monday, owning up to his role in making Clemmons parole eligible, but spreading ultimate responsibility for the convict’s release to sloppy prosecutors, lenient judges, and compassionate parole boards.
>>“If I could’ve known nine years ago that this guy was capable of something of this nature, obviously I would’ve never granted the commutation,” Huckabee told O’Reilly. “It’s sickening.”
>>Update: 12/01 7:45 A.M.: Seattle police reportedly shot and killed Maurice Clemmons early Tuesday morning, after authorities zeroed in on his location by aggressively questioning friends and family. Clemmons had apparently sustained an earlier gunshot wound to his torso, inflicted by one of the officers he is believed to have murdered Sunday.
I just cut my check to the Illinois Treasury. Now Huckabee appears on WLS, likely to tell me that it’s all ok. grrrr
Why listen to Huckleberry when there’s a dyed-in-the-wool Conservative voice: RUSH LIMBAUGH!
