I must admit that this entire controversy (conservative feeding frenzy?) surrounding Governor Mike Huckabee’s commutation of Maurice Clemmons’ sentence back in 2000 makes me a bit queasy. Am I the only one that thinks the vitriol and condemnation of Huckabee over this is way over-the-top? Let’s take a step back from the beat-down for just a moment and examine the situation objectively, shall we? Most everyone knows the facts surrounding the killings by now. If you don’t, see here and here. All reasonable people can agree that this is a horrific crime which could have been prevented if the criminal justice system had worked properly. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with the families of these slain officers. Nevertheless, to single out Huckabee as the party most responsible in this matter is patently absurd."
