Although he's required to by the Constitution, the governor, as is his custom, won't say why he granted clemency to this crazed killer (over the unanimous objections of the Post-Prison Transfer Board). Huckabee apparently listened to Green's minister (and a friend of the governor), who thinks the murder was an accident and Green was forced to confess.

While stupid, it probably made him feel morally superior to the rest of us. Otherwise known as the Jimmy Carter syndrome.

You hit it right on the nose: the Jimmy Carter Syndrome. It’s a Syndrome that has cost millions of lives nationwide. And if bleeding heart, social gospel preacher Huckabee slithers his way into the White House, millions more will die from is perverse “Christian compassion.”He’s either a liar, an idiot — or both.

I think you have stumbled onto something there. If Gov. Huckabee started out with the assumption that the juries in his state were populated with nothing but mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging racist retards, one would expect him to act exactly as he has acted.

Now it is up to Gov. Huckabee to provide a plausible alternative motivation for his actions.

Exactly and I've already suffered through four years of a Carter 'misery indexed' presidency and don't need to do it again.
