Huckabee DWI Clemency, Donations Raise Questions [MSNBC caution]

Questions are being raised about then-Gov. Huckabee's 2004 decision to grant clemency to a repeat Driving While Intoxicated offender in Arkansas named Eugene Fields, despite the objections of a law enforcement official at the time. Documents obtained by NBC News reveal Fields' case was handled differently from any other DWI clemency or pardon granted by Huckabee, and some Republicans are now suggesting significant political contributions may have influenced the governor's decision.

That’s six this morning. You are getting near to her (Dane/Dano1) record.

[Travis McGee]

Dano, you missed this one, somehow.

[Beckwith]

Huckabee just got an endorsement from Juan Williams on Fox News Sunday.

The liberals just love this guy.

[Sacajaweau]

Well, thank goodness Bubba never granted clemency to contributors. And of course, Hillary's brother never played any role in any clemency deal.

These hits are a laugh. Bubba and his mob has been the "role model" for every hit they're trying to make.

That’s six this morning.

Actually, this is the 8th on the first page alone. Then you can go on to the 2nd page.

Clint must be the second shift and dano first shift today.

When will FR be renamed the The Huckabee's Republic of Cyberspace?

[ASA Vet]

Clint seems to have taken over for Miss Dano this morning. She had several very early morning SPAM posts but now it appears her shift is over.

[Just A Nobody]

GMTA!

[Travis McGee]

No, Clint is posting stuff negative to the Huckster. Dano only posts puff pieces.

[ASA Vet]

There is a difference though. Clint actually has a posting history other than Huckster Spam. Dano is all Spam.

[org.whodat]

The stench of the Arkansan Huck just keeps on keeping on. but he’s two point down from the peak on polls, so his surge is toward the basement.

[ASA Vet]

When will FR be renamed the The Huckabee's Republic of Cyberspace?

Or instead of a name change some SA creates a Huckster republic site similar to rinorepublic.com which happened when RinoRudy was being pushed.

[ASA Vet]

Yep, I agree with your assessment.

Yeah, because we can't expect our politicians to act any better then the Clintons.

from the Arkansas Times

Excerpt:

“In the summer of 2003 there’s no real political activity,” said the former official. “It’s always a tough time to raise money in those periods, and all of sudden $10,000 comes walking through the door when there’s no campaign going on? There’s no reason to give that kind of money then.”

Prior to his wife’s donations, Fields had made a $10,000 donation to the Republican Party of Arkansas in October of 2000 under “Fields Investment Company,” the name of his business. Both Mrs. Fields’ 2003 donations and Mr. Fields’ 2000 donation placed them among the largest, individual donors to the Republican Party of Arkansas in those years, on par with donations from members of the Walton family, of the Wal-Mart department store chain. The only other donation made by either Fields to the State Republican Party was in the amount of $500 in August of 2004.
