Reminds me of another career that also should have fallen off a cliff, but didn't:

A Son's Past Deeds Come Back to Bite Huckabee.

I remember when that pic appeared on fark.com - someone wrote:

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains
Shenandoah river -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Round as Huckabees

I don’t feel like we have enough details on that case to really judge. It certainly does sound like Huckabee wielded his political clout inappropriately in getting his son off the hook for any formal charges. On the other hand, I’ve never heard anything about what Huckabee himself was doing to try to set his son straight. The young man was fired from his camp counselor job, and for all I know he also faced serious punishment at home and perhaps was even sent to some sessions with a psychologist or psychiatrist as well. If there was a national activist campaign to get David investigated and charged, when that wouldn’t have happened if it had been some random kid with no political connections, it may have felt to Huckabee that political considerations were interfering with his efforts to discipline and correct his son in a way that any other father would have been allowed to do. David seems to have had an unremarkable young adulthood, since then.

I notice Mike has slimmed down a lot since that photo. I sure hope David has too — he’s pretty massive in that photo, but does look at least somewhat slimmer in later headshots I’ve seen.
