You're right, Floyd. There's nothing wrong with a reformed man and redeemed Christian spending the rest of his life in jail for murder or child-rape. Huckabee should leave indulgences to us Catholics! :) Be ye wise as a serpent, eh?

A cop found a wounded Clemmons early this morning near a stolen car, and tried to arrest him, but when Clemmons attacked him, the cop shot and killed him. It appears that about half a dozen of Clemmons' family and friends had been helping him evade the law, and now they are being arrested too. Idiots. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34194122/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts?GT1=43001 I noticed that Obama hasn't said anything about this yet. Given that Clemmons was black and all the cops he killed were white, maybe Obama will try to get all the corpses together for a beer summit now. Well, the manhunt is over.

I've not watched his show on Fox but he's effectively taken over the Paul Harvey-pre Rush slot on the AM band. As a host of a short radio program he's entertaining and pleasant. There have been many times he's made statements that made him seem conservative but I just don't believe him. My in-laws and parents have grown to like him due to his TV show but I warn them about him. He's not who he seems to be. Clemmons was a human grenade and it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. He was never an appropriate candidate for clemency or pardon. Clemmons was suspect for the rape of a child and was known to exhibit psychotic behavior. Huckabee isn't alone in this miscalculation...he had a whole string of bureaucrats along with him. And as Scott M. so ably pointed out this isn't the first time a recipient of Huckabee's pardon committed heinous acts. Huckabee is a pretend conservative and at least this might keep him from mucking up the next presidential primary.

Now I believe in the transformative power of Christ's salvation, but if you've already killed someone and are in prison for 60 years, I'm still not going to let you out of prison. I have yet to hear of anything in Mr. Clemmon's background that would lead me to believe he was an adequate candidate for commutation of sentence. He was a depraved human being who lived life full of violence. I believe anyone can be redeemed, but I also believe in consequences. All that being said, I'll have to YouTube O'Reilly and see what Huckabeee had to say.

So, yes, at least one of the suits at Fox did ask Huckabee questions about this and he did respond. His account seemed reasonable, and less damning than initially reported, but I have not checked his story and do not know if he was speaking accurately or not.

I think that "Huck Thin" is finished.
