In the chain of events, Huckabee’s clemency of Clemmons is the first in a series of awful decisions to allow this guy to run free. He used every opportunity granted him to engage in criminal acts. Now, it looks he murdered four police officers (and that’s all the more reason that people will see this as the end of his political career, unlike the earlier incident that involved a rape of a woman by a guy granted clemency by Huckabee). You release a guy that goes on to kill cops? That takes bad judgment to a whole different level, even though the first instance (Dumond) should have been a warning.

Indeed, it also looks like Huckabee is more than willing to throw others under the bus - just as he did with the Dumond case. There, he tried to blame the mess on Jim Guy Tucker.

Oh, and it looks like Michelle Malkin is playing this one straight - running the history of bad decisions on Huckabee’s part. That’s the only way you should be running the story.
