Yeah. A 17 year old serving 95, or 60, or whatever years getting parole; that would have ended his campaign. Sure it would.
Now if he had done something really insane at that time, yeah.

Exactly…Huckabee’s fresh meat now…back during the campaign, he was just this jolly preacher who had lost a ton of weight and had a folksy way of communicating with people—and was quite funny, I’ll admit (and I’m as freakin’ liberal and anti-Huck as they come). Granted, he was out-folksy’d by Sarahbarracougar, but he was quite popular and noone was going to dig up dirt on an ex-pastor. Now that one of his free-birds has killed four policemen, he’s the Dukakis of the day (remember Willie Horton?). And he’s safe to attack for both Republicans and Democrats…and there’s nothing our politicians from “both parties” (I use quotes because our two party system is anything but when it comes to important issues) like more than an easy target.

I’m still waiting for Sarah Palin’s ghost-responder’s response to the Huckabee affair.
