Since the beginning of time the mark of a good politician is the ability to skirt the law by a cat's whisker. Knowing what's legal and what's not is much more important to them than knowing right from wrong.

For the best example in 230 years look at the entire run of the Bush administration. They seek out what is legal and then dance all around it because the bottom line is not what is right, but if what you are doing can be declared legal by a good lawyer in a court of law.

If in the wildest stretch of the imagination something can remain legal though it stinks to high heaven....that's the dot they shoot for. So far as ugly as it's got.......they're still winning because only Scooter's deeds have been deemed illegal.

Karl Rove is the Albert Einstein of splitting legal. Mike Huckabee has studied Karl Rove and kicked a fat hog in the butt when he left office burning everything behind him like Sherman's march to the sea.

Huckabee is going to skate and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. Our state leaders leave it to Jim Parsons to go out on a limb and try to bring Huckabee to justice, and for his efforts, he's called wacky.

I don't know him, he may be wacky for all I know, but at least he made some kind of effort to box Huckabee's ears for a stunt that cost the taxpayers of Arkansas at least $400,000 dollars.

A whole state except for 1 lone man, doing nothing is how these bastards get away with murder. Those among us with no moral or scruples love a grazing sheep population. They can and do get away with murder because we're too busy shopping, or in the case of our Legislature, too busy protecting the Payday Lenders and worrying about gay couples to watch out for the State's wellbeing.

America is on the brink of destruction due to the same disinterest that has allowed a criminal pack to make off with our Constitution and bring death to Iraq and 3207 of our own soldiers. Our 2 Senators are as useless and powerless against the Bush administration as spitting on a house fire. One spent yesterday waxing fond of a departing staffer, the other voting against his own party to prolong a war we've already lost. Historians take note.

Mike Huckabee's plan is to live like a rock star for the next 2 years and suck up as much of the spotlight as the brainless media will shine on a mediocre man obsessed with himself.

When he gets tired of riding private Lear Jets paid for with Edgar Bronfman's money, he and Janet will retire with his monstrously swollen PAC full of paybacks and she'll be paid a large sum out of the PAC each year to manage his political contributions, no doubt the kids will hold important jobs paid for out of the PAC too. Why? Because they can, because it's legal, because politicians and lawyers wrote the rules.

Every month the PAC will pay for Mike and Janet to fly someplace fun, it will pay for limo service and flowers for funerals of dead contributors and bribes to other politicians in the form of political campaign contributions....all legal.

And the 25th state of the Union will remain in 49th spot and we'll be used like the grazing sheep we are because we allow it.

Thank you Jim Parsons, whoever you are, for at least trying to raise questions about what appears to be a criminal act. The only hope we can have is that Mike Beebe is not Mike Huckabee and that someday after our Senators die of old age, after brilliant careers of doing nothing, the people of Arkansas will wake up and elect people more interested in doing the right thing than by skirting 1 millimeter above legal at all times.

Why did I just know before I clicked on this that the first comment would be another anti-Huckabee manifesto from DBI stretching ten pages long?

Parsons and Oscar Stilley should join forces. Together they could produce the stupidest complaint known to man.

I must say that I agree with DBI, Prouster; do you have an argument to make? Some defense of Huck, perhaps?

I mentioned the crashed computers to 20 people in the course of just one day and not one knew a thing about it.
Apathy has ruined us. People go to work, to WalMart, and home. They are know-nothings, and that's scary.

DBI, in his own funny and over the top way, alerts us to the dangers of good people doing nothing.

So, Prouster, you go ahead and defend your boy Huck all you want to, but I'll defend any and all who tell the truth about him.
