The man wanted in this morning's shooting deaths of four Washington State police officers was granted clemency by then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee nine years ago.

Is it a coincidence that on a thread which could prove embarrassing to Huckabee, the banner ad is an attack on Romney?
Wow look at the date
Both in November!

If you're wondering how Gov. Huckabee's hundreds of clemencies compare with neighboring states, get ready for a shocker.
___ Huckabee leads the pack.
___ He has issued more commutations and pardons than all of the six neighboring states combined.
Yeah, Hahaha! How true! Unbelievable!!!
LOL
Arguing with sarabots must be a close second. Welcome to the club.
Kind of odd. And Fred Thompson and Rush both called Huckabee the pro-life liberal, not Romney.
So? What are you saying? It?s Bush?s fault?
Bush’s fault, is so 2000 dude
or dudette.
The fact is..Huck had an attack of *White Guilt* 9 years ago.
Watching Mike for the last 4 months *Bank Rolled* by FNC,
Only confirms my suspicious mind.
RINO!
He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, making him parole eligible and was “paroled by the parole board” once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, “but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him”.
Willy Horton part deux...Huck is finished...I can see the get out of jail free cards now...
Huckabee can now no longer run; he’d be Dukakised fosho.
He’s better at being Christ than Caesar anyway.
There isn’t any. The first time, I thought I missed it. The second time I was sure I didn’t.
Did Huckabee ultimately commute this criminals sentence? Yes.
HUCKABEE, you are a detriment to this country, PLEASE GO AWAY.
You are more trouble than you are worth.
That distance evaporated within a few seconds while he was busy killing four cops in cold blood. The POS should have never been released. He has lived a life of crime, while the system, along with Huckdip failed, miserably.
If that lying RINO runs for President, I will do everything in my power to bring him down.
One more RINO gone. Thank God. And a soft on crime/criminals one at that. Wow.
Huckabee= Arkansas for “Dukakis”
Huckleberry is a liberal fag... What an a$$ wipe!
The fact that he’s from Arkansas is enough to keep me from ever voting for him. I think one president from Arkansas in my lifetime is enough—————
Aside from the unfortunate news, I think Huckabee would be smart to declare that he is not going to run anyway. The reason is that it is clear that Sarah and Huckabee would split each others votes and pave the way for Mitt, who is a much weaker candidate than he was in 08 due to Mitt Care.
If Huckabee subscribes to the conventional wisdom that Sarah is a weak candidate he could step aside and even go so far as to endorse her. Huck/Sarah fans in Iowa would soon rush to Sarah, and Huckabee could claim that he had a large influence in her win. If Sarah won the primary then Huck would have to cross his fingers and hope that she loses the general. If Sarah lost the general Huck could try to make a comeback in 2016 and he could even choose to run as a Democrat by then. I think Sarah would win in the general, but it is a shot Huckabee could be willing to take, plus he need time for this clemency thing to blow over.
