do you think he will be able to hang up on 60 minutes? huck does not have the thick skin to run for the presidency if he cannot handle a caller on an arkansas call in show. i had to stop typing twice to laugh at the thought of that idiot trying to answer questions with but how do you think i look. imagine jethrine getting asked questions she doesen't want to answer, she will sputter and threaten them that she will get even when they are in office. the sight will be great. i look forward to the race. really folks public embarassment aside the actual humor of listening to these gomers could be better than hee haw. they have selectively picked the media they have appeared on until now, but they will have to take on all comers and there are some nasty press out there who will make them look stupid. they cannot hang up on them. imus thinks he is quaint right now but sometimes imus is a comedian and thinks kinky friedman should be governor of texas. i seriously thinks imus would promote the moral majority as huckabee would and imus right now is free publicity for him and huckabee thinks that is a source of free publicity for him. i doubt he would be like larry king was to perot.

Huck's ability to rewrite history (see his current tv spots for Asa), has fooled some of the people some of the time, but the public record and newspaper archives will lay it all out if he ever becomes anything more than a third-tier candidate for president and the national media. When the national media is ready to scratch deepe, there will be plenty to find. Can't wait for him to go ballistic on Meet the Press.

So is anyone surprised that the Governor is now ignoring his once questionably used constitutional authority now that he is running for Vice-President?

After he granted his rock star friend Keith Richards an unsolicited pardon, the Huck has now refused to review any new petitions for consideration of clemency.

Now he's leaving everything for Beebe, let him be raked over the coals for facing a huge backlog of cases of which many will certainly be meritorious and any good governor would sign.... let him take the heat. Huck's already left the kitchen and headed for Iowa.

Dumond is the best you can do? Still your article that you continue to republish by the award winning author does not prove anything. It is an article. The parole board members said that Huckabee didn't tell them to parole Dumond, but then a year or two later (in an election year mind you) after a couple fo them didn't get reappointed did they say "Oh the governor made me do it" I know that he wrote the letter to Dumond and that was not good for him, but to say that he pardoned him or forced the parole of Dumond is just not the truth. The Governor was right in saying that Tucker is the Governor who made it possible to parole Dumond, and reduced his sentence. I think the national media will dig deep and decide that you guys are just full of piss and vinegar and leave this story alone.

James,

He didn't have to parole Dumond but he did !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This just in: Huckabee tells lies! Also: Dog bites man! Bear shits in woods! Pope is Catholic!

And James, The Reverend Jay Cole, Sr. had not a single iota of influence on his fellow Baptist reverend governor in the Dumond decision. You bet.

Hey James Boulder - Wayne Dumond? Piss and Vinegar? Dude, what are you smokin'? The national media will eat this shit up. Not to mention all of the gifts/money and special perks the rednecks took from Arkansas taxpayers. The fact of the matter - idiot - is that he didn't have to parole Dumond - but he did.

The funny thing is that you call me an idiot when you say the Huckabee paroled Dumond. I think that if you weren't an idiot you would know that the Governor can't even parole some one. He has only three powers that he can perform. 1. Pardon 2. Commute 3. Grant a Clemmency. He can't parole someone, but I am the idiot. Let us back track this, Dumond received a commutation from Tucker (which made him eligible for parole) Then Huckabee DENIED a request for a pardon. Then the PAROLE BOARD paroled Dumond. There was a bunch of questions about whether or not Huckabee made them ( a group of adults, most of which were not his appointees and did not owe them his job) and they said he did not influence them. A year or so later in the middle of an election year two of the members who weren't reappointed and were not Huckabee supporters changed their story, suddenly remembering something different. But I am the idiot and yet you are the one who can't get it and not only that think the Governor can do things he can't. What a bunch of crap. Not to mention you think this will be the end all in Huckabee's political career but don't seem to remember that this has been brought up in two other elections and it doesn't seem to have much traction, so maybe it is not what you think. The national media is not going to play with something that is so fizzled out in AR and try to make it work somewhere else. There is room to call someone an idiot on this blog but I am starting to think that maybe it should not be you doing the name calling.

Ya know after reading about Rev. Ted Haggard out in Colorado with his male prostitute buddy.....and then coming here and clicking on the link and having Wayne (I should be in a dress) Dumond's picture shoved in my face, one has to wonder just who and why would anyone want this fruity bastid released from prison?

I mean...each day brings a new shocking revelation about the most right wing of wing nuts. Maybe Santorum was talking from experience when he casually mentioned Man-Dog sex. What hath Bush wrought?

Hey Boulder - If the national media is going to jump on something as stupid as Paula Jones and the Excelsior Hotel, don't you think they would eat up the fact that the redneck Governor had at least a small part in releasing Wayne Dumond - and then after that release, Dumond killed again? And you didn't address all the freebies the rednecks took from Arkansas taxpayers - all documented, I might add. The Dumond story may be "frizzled" out in AR - but as we all know from experience, running for President brings up all sorts of questions from someone's past - don't you agree?
The rednecks won't be able to handle the pressure.
