I’m no fan of them, but find nothing wrong with this. They know so many people as compared to the average folk. What’s the difference if friends call each other to get information about their gift choices?

You have to understand, on FR these days, absolutely everything Huckabee has ever said or done is proof positive that he is a lying, two-faced, illegal-immigrant-loving, corrupt, tax-hiking SOCIALIST!!! Including if his friends want to give him and his wife a housewarming party, and Target lists it under "Wedding Registry" because their computer system doesn't have a "Housewarming" category, only Wedding and Baby showers.

Oh and BTW: people seriously think that being registered at freakin' TARGET is proof that he's a greedy graft-grubber like the Clintons? They backed a van up to the White House, and I assure you Hillary didn't fill it with Jack LaLanne juicers. I swear, some people on here are so invested in their fantasies of Duncan Hunter sweeping the nation that they have lost all grip on reality.

Okay...'splain these, Loosey:

The commission found Huckabee unintentionally failed to disclose $23,500 he received from a nonprofit organization set up to handle his speaking engagements and supplement his income before he became governor.

The nonprofit, Action America, paid Huckabee a total of $41,500 in 1994 and 1995 but missed IRS filing deadlines for those years. Huckabee has repeatedly declined to disclose the handful of benefactors who financed the group.

Allegations by a former governor’s mansion employee in 1998 became part of the basis for a lawsuit against Huckabee over his family’s use of a $60,000-a-year fund. The lawsuit also dealt with Huckabee’s assertion that $70,000 worth of furniture donated to the governor's mansion was his to keep.

The fund had been used to pay for pizza, a doghouse, a magazine subscription and pantyhose for Huckabee’s wife, Janet, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

The suit was settled with Huckabee admitting no wrongdoing but acknowledging a dispute "regarding reimbursements” and making clear the furniture was for the mansion.

Before leaving office Jan. 9, Huckabee spent $13,000 in state funds to destroy the hard drives of nearly 100 computers in the governor’s office.

He pointed out that he had backed up the data and argued that the hard drive destruction was standard practice to prevent the dissemination of sensitive information related to employees or constituents.

Critics suggested he was hiding something. But the ethics commission dismissed complaints alleging violations of record management rules.

That might not be the end of the story, though. A lawyer is suing Huckabee, alleging that he misspent state money on the destruction.
