It seems that former governor Mike Huckabee pardoned Maurice Clemmons in 2000 from a 95 year prison sentence, along with 1033 other prison inmates over the 10 years he was in office. That is double the number pardoned by the three previous governors of Arkansas. Clemmons is the alleged killer of the four police officers in Tacoma, Washington recently. This reminds me of the political attacks on governor Mike Dukakis in 1988 by the Bush I ad men. Remember the Willie Horton ads? At least Sarah Palin will be happy with the bad press for a contender for the 2012 GOP nomination.
