Mike Huckabee shouldn't be allowed to run for dog catcher

How bad is Mike Huckabee? As governor of Arkansas he listened to an ultra right-wing reporter about a serial killer and rapist named Wayne Dumond. Huckabee got Dumond released from prison so that he could rape and murder two more women. (See Tristero for the full story.)

It's not like there was any doubt among law enforcement officers that Dumond was guilty of the crime he was originally convicted of, nor did they have any doubt about several others he was involved in. It was the right-wing Arkansas Republicans who wanted Dumond released. (Dumond was White, you see.) And Bill Clinton as governor had refused to Pardon Demond.

Huckabee, like loyal right-wingers everywhere in America, refused to read the trial transcript. A right-wing reporter named Steve Dunleavy told Huckabee that Dumond had been railroaded, and that was good enough for Reverend Mike. Mike Huckabee got Dumond out of prison, where he quickly went on to rape adn murder two more women.

Huckabee is a nice looking man who is absolutely charming on stage. He is also an ultra right-wing preacher who does not believe in science or Evolution.

So what do you do with a nice-looking well-spoken nutcase running for the Presidential nomination on the nutcase Republican party ticket?

The social Republicans seem to like him, but not enough to vote for him. They don't like Giuliani. But he is currently the Republican front runner.

How weird can things get? Not weird enough to see Huckabee nominated by the republicans for President, I hope.
