Huckabee for President Responds
Mike Huckabee's campaign manager counters Quin Hillyer. Also: Readers weigh in on underpaid (former) governor from Clinton country. Plus: Quaker Staters, go south! Agitated about Agincourt. Italians and the English language. Plus much more.
(Page 3 of 18)
Finally, one more note: Calling him “The Huckster” in a hatchet job like this shows disrespect, not only to the Governor himself, but to the office he held for 10 1/2 years.
Governor Mike Huckabee has shown leadership, compassion and strength in tough times. In this important presidential election cycle, the facts are what matter to the American people.
p>Sincerely, br> — John “Chip” Saltsman br> National Campaign Manager br> Huckabee for President /p> p> Quin Hillyer replies: br> I stand by everything in my column except for one single word, which was a self-editing error. When I double-checked the record of the release of rapist Wayne Dumond, I discovered that he had not actually been pardoned. That’s why I re-worded the key sentence thusly: “Huckabee helped secure the release of already-well-known-rapist Wayne Dumond.” Unfortunately, when I corrected the original sentence to the accurate wording above, I forgot to take out a reference earlier in the paragraph to “one of his pardons.” But the fact remains that Huckabee agitated for the vicious rapist’s release. To show how involved Huckabee was in Dumond’s release, I refer readers to this award-winning news article ; and I am willing to let the readers be the judge.
