Crush Liberalism

Huckabee to prosecutor who was worried that Huck was too lenient on granting clemency to violent offenders: LOL!

Think I’m taking rhetorical liberties and embellishing the quote a little?  Think again.

Patterico has the details and the screen shots of letters between prosecutor Robert Herzfeld and Schmuckabee’s Deputy Legal Counsel Cory Cox.  So what was Cox’s response to Herzfeld’s concern that Schmuck was letting violent convicts out on a willy-nilly basis?  This:

The Arkansas Leader breaks it down:

“The governor read you (sic) letter and laughed out loud,” Cox wrote about a life-and-death situation that somehow amused Huckabee – or maybe he didn’t really laugh out loud and Cox was just making it up, trying to sound clever. 

Cox should have been fired in any case, either for disclosing the governor’s morbid sense of humor or simply lying about it.

“He wanted me to respond to you,” Cox continued, ending with this zinger: “I wish you success as you cut down on your caffeine consumption.” …

Oh, the wit…the hilarity!  I am ROTFLMAO!  If you don’t find the amusement in granting clemency or pardoning of rapists and murderers, then you are seriously humor-impaired!

Exit question: If Huck’s 2012 aspirations weren’t fatally wounded before, is it safe to assume they are now?
