This was Chuck Norris's ticket back from infomercials.

Chuck, take off the really bad wig and slink back into your hole now, loser.

The problem with claiming superior moral high ground and joining organizations that claim to possess a superior morality is that all of us make mistakes as it is the nature of humans to be imperfect.

We can stick a fork in ol' Huck, he's done.

The Faux font of wisdom will look very silly now on his nightly cable show, spewing his holier than thou guidance for the insane. Looks like this was a really bad investment for Murdoch. I think Huck will lose his show now since he has no potential value as a power broker or White House occupant.

Maybe Palin will get his time slot.

He did this in Arkansas. Hopefully, this will keep him out of the race for President. He has NO business in the White House.

Maybe Faux will give Huckabee's show to Palin.

Wow what if a Democrat did this?!? FOX News would be in 24-7 meltdown mode for months if not years. Its a good thing ol Huck is GOP, huh? Hey, his kid slowly tortured a dog to death and Huck had no problem with that. Huck is Christian. That's goods enough to keep him in office in a Red State

Huckabee is pretty much an employee of Fox News now as he has that musical variety show that he hosts on there now. Fox is just protecting one of it's own by not reporting anything bad about him.

Horton was released on a weekend furlough program and committed crimes. He was not pardoned as I recall.

Poor old Huck

No presidency in his future.


Looks like he'll be playing that guitar forever.

“This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,†Huckabee said. Really. Well, Mr. Huckabee he WAS held accountable for 95 years until you commuted his sentence.
And to call this an "event" is further evidence that you still will not accept the responsibility for your decision to free someone with this kind of record and sentence.

The offender is dead.

Yers, O'Reilly, as usual, completely exhonerated Huckabee for his part in this, and then castigated the judge in WA who gave bail to the shooter recently after being charged with raping a 12 yr old (which makes me think this was a non-violent/statutory rape). While no 12 y/o can give consent, I cannot imagine that a man accused of violently raping a 12 year old would have gotten bail. I don't think Huckabee should be ripped apart; I don't think anyone in the crimiinal justice system should be expected to never make a bad call. Judges do dumb things, vote them out or get a petition together to have them removed.

I am no Huckabee fan, but I do think the Washington judge was out to lunch for setting bail at $15,000. Raping a 12 year old is a child sexual assault and not statutory rape. Clemmons committed the violent crimes before he was 18. In many states he would have long since be released or would never have had a 95 year sentence. We can all say that this man should never have been released from prison, and I would agree with that. But, he should never have gotten out of jail a few weeks ago. This is a violent many with a violent history who was charged with raping a child. Perhaps if the judge had set the bail higher these police officers would be alive today.
