The American Spectator reports that Huckabee pardoned 1,033 individuals - more than the three previous governors before hime combined - over 500 from 3 governors - and more than the six states surrounding Arkansas combined. Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas a total of 12 years and yet never came close to pardoning that many criminals. So the length of his term has nothing to do with the number of criminals Huckaphoney pardoned.

Billzo's price was too high for most of them. Still, do you recall when he was caught selling prisoner's blood to the Canadian national health service so don't try to use him as some sort of moral standard in any of this.

Regarding the "surrounding states, you have Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas ~ but not a one of them has done what we've done in Virginia which is to eliminate parole, and unless you've done that you're just turning loose tens of thousands of hardened and still very dangerous violent criminals every single year.

This particular guy got a commutation of sentence ~ down from 108 to 45 years. If the parole system had been abolished he'd still be in jail eh!
