SECRETS
Mike Huckabee ‘Physically Destroyed’ All Hard Drives from Time as Governor

Jim Newell — ....
(from Mother Jones: ) "In February, Mother Jones wrote to the office of Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe seeking access to a variety of records concerning his predecessor's tenure, including Huckabee's travel records, calendars, call logs, and emails. Beebe's chief legal counsel, Tim Gauger, replied in a letter that "former Governor Huckabee did not leave behind any hard-copies of the types of documents you seek. Moreover, at that time, all of the computers used by former Governor Huckabee and his staff had already been removed from the office and, as we understand it, the hard-drives in those computers had already been 'cleaned' and physically destroyed." ....

Arkansas legend, however, tells of a supposed Secret Backup Hard Drive with all the goods. Perhaps now we'll have a Raiders of the Lost Ark-style quest to recover the ancient goods, rumored to be in the possession of a certain "Brenda" at the Christian card shoppe down the street:

"The information stored on the drives had been saved on a backup, which was handed over to Huckabee's then-chief of staff, Brenda Turner. The history of the Huckabee administration, then, was locked away, under the watchful eye of a former aide. What did she do with this information? Where is it now? Turner, who now runs the PR shop for a Arkansas-based purveyor of Christian-themed greeting cards, did not respond to repeated requests for comment."

We will buy at least three Christian cards in exchange for those records, Brenda. Surely that's the best offer you've ever fielded. Think it over.

1. When Nixon is starting to look good

You got to know we are in big trouble.

But compared to today's conservatives Nixon was almost a flaming liberal.

GUILTY!

6. When you can honestly say "Not even Nixon would

even THINK of doing X, Y or Z" how far have the Repukes fallen?

Tricky Dick was a piker and rank amateur in the rottenness department compared to the modern GeeOhPee. And I am old enough to remember the trickster very well.
