Former Arkansas governor and now presidential candidate Mike Huckabee sounded almost indignant last week describing how police in his home state charged Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards with reckless driving back in the 1970s. When Huckabee met Richards last year, he righted that perceived wrong by pardoning the rock star. Cynics accused Huckabee of giving the famous special treatment, saying he wouldn't pardon the average citizen. To which Huckabee responded: "No, I wouldn't. . . . But here's the deal: If you can play guitar like Keith Richards, I'd do it for you."

2. That's the problem with Huck, you just can't hate the guy.

Cringe at his thoughts of theocracy, yes. But hate him as a person, nah.

3. But would he pardon a rapist if the crime was against a relative of Bill Clinton ?

Nooooooo , he wouldn't do that .........

4. All the negative remarks and comments from DUers about Gov. Huckabee seem

quite justified to me.

He's a hard guy to like.
