Huckabee Son Hangs Dog, Father Fires Cop
Rat Tube / Newsweek ^ | 12/15/2007 | Michael Isakoff

“……..But John Bailey, then the director of Arkansas’s state police, tells NEWSWEEK that Governor Huckabee’s chief of staff and personal lawyer both leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor’s request. Bailey, a career officer who had been appointed chief by Huckabee’s Democratic predecessor, said he viewed the lawyer’s intervention as improper and terminated the conversation. Seven months later, he was called into Huckabee’s office and fired. “I’ve lost confidence in your ability to do your job,” Bailey says Huckabee told him. One reason Huckabee cited was “I couldn’t get you to help me with my son when I had that problem,” according to Bailey. “Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son,” says I.

I just thought huckster was a lying POS but now it seems to spread to his family... and his wife must have been complicit in the cover up of this heinous crime. This family is evil... this family is corrupt... and huckster leaves a pattern of getting certain people that commit heinous crimes a pardon... or keep the case from ever being prosecuted. They grow them evil, corrupt and lying in hope! I'd bet for the right amount of $$$ old huckster could be bought and paid for by the highest bidder!

At least the son is a real Christian and not a Mormon.

Some kids are just psychopathic without being abused....you need to be careful about the accusation of abuse with-out proof!

Not excusing this if it’s true, but it sure smells like the klintoon slime machine at work.

Psychopathic behavior is often the result of child abuse, but not always.

I guess Eagle Scout is like a Theology Masters... if you don’t have one... make one up... if caught lying... it was a clerical mistake. Father like son it seems!

Mange can be severe enough to have a dog put to sleep, although not this way.

1. Does “seems like” sound like an accusation or a suggestion?

2. I know that many abused children do not become psychopaths. I suspect, but do not know, that psychopaths are overwhelmingy most often abused as children, possibly because of genetically similar parents.

DING!DING!DING! We have a winner!You are right on,LLS!I have been paying close attention to both of their behaviors, and I am not liking what I am seeing. Example: the son once threw a snit fit over having to a pay a licensing fee and paid it in pennies; the father threw a snit fit over Oklahoma wanting Arkansas to stop Tyson and others from excessive polluting upstream from OK, and he threw a snit fit and threatened to dam the river. The Huckster is not Presidential material!

I agree with your post 32.

Post 33 isn’t clear to me. What would you like an example of?

I lost a dog when I was a kid because she got into some antifreeze. It was terrible. We had to put her to sleep.

Daddy Huckster was just a fat, before he had his guts cut out and bypassed.
