So his boy hung a stray dog, and this is bad for the Huckster, why?
It was a black dog?
Seven months later, he was called into Huckabee's office and fired. "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job," Bailey says Huckabee told him. One reason Huckabee cited was "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem," according to Bailey. "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son," says I. C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock,
Maybe because he fired a career state policeman?
This fine Christian pastor can't even rear his own son to be a responsible citizen, but he claims to be the best man in the race to lead the United States of America? (BTW, his son also got into a pickle for trying to take a fully loaded Glock onto an aircraft).
What's worse is that he abused his power as governor to enable his son to avoid responsibility for this act of cruelty. Michael Vick has gone to jail for three years for abusing dogs--and for good reason. Still, his dogs had a fighting chance. Dave Huckabee was lucky that his pa was the governor of Arkansas. Saddam Hussein showed similar solicitude for his sadistic son Uday.
As a politician you can cheat on your wife, do drugs, and be a general sleazebag, but if a dog is abused even by someone in his family, he's toast!
