Actually, the quote is:
... said she tried to persuade Huckabee not to shorten the sentence for Dumond.

“I told [Huckabee]: If you ever let him out, he’s going to do it again,” she said in an interview.

She was able to get a meeting with the governor - who, she said, had not spoken to her before announcing his intention to commute Dumond’s sentence - but realized Huckabee had “made up his mind.” So Stevens stood up, she said, walked over to Huckabee, who was seated on a sofa, squatted down and thrust her face inches from his.

“I said, ‘This is how close I was to Dumond’s face for an hour,’ “ Stevens recalled. “ ‘I’ll never forget his face, and you’ll never forget mine.’ “

The parole board - following a closed meeting with Huckabee - decided to let Dumond go. The following year, Dumond committed the Missouri slaying. He died in prison in 2005. "

Hey Chucklebee, that makes about as much sense as shoes on a centipede. Yeah, it’s a cheesy slap at his good-ol-boy sayings.

The good news is Huckabee is no longer in the race for 2012.

“The good news is Huckabee is no longer in the race for 2012”

Or as long as the internet is still around.

Huckabee didn't release him after he raped a child!

Let's see who is responsible for that!

Huck is done.

He’s probably gonna have to get honest work, if anybody will hire him.

huckabee can’t even survived the first controversy that comes his way, how on earth will he survive running for president. He be slaughtered by the media. Huckabee’s choice to release unrepentant criminal is very troubling. Will he release Bin Laden after capture?

Huckaby? Isn’t he the fellow who just announced he’d not run in 2012?

I thought his crime as something other than rape, aggravated robbery or something?

If Huck pardoned a rapist, I'll have to rethink my view.

I really can’t understand the man’s motive for wanting to free such violent criminals. I have listened to him on TV (not a fan, mind you, just listened) and he seems far to levelheaded to do such a thing. His actions definitely do not match his persona. Not defending him, it just means that he is not what he appears to be.

Guess it’s not good to have the name “Michael” and run for president. ie Dukakis.

Makes me wonder, what in the world was in it for Huckabee? Any sensible politician might have known these decisions could come back to bite him in the a$$. Unbelieveably bad judgement on his part.
