:rofl:

You know it must be dark if a celebrity blogger picks up the article:

More important, Huckabee revealed an enduring weakness as glaring as that other Arkansas governor's fondness for women. Huckabee seems to love loot and has a dismissive attitude toward ethics, campaign finance rules and propriety in general. Since that first, failed campaign, the ethical questions have multiplied.

In the 1992 contest with Bumpers, Huckabee used campaign funds to pay himself as his own media consultant. Other payments went to the family babysitter.

In his successful 1994 run for lieutenant governor, he set up a nonprofit curtain known as Action America so he could give speeches for money without having to disclose the names of his benefactors. He failed to report that campaign travel payments were for the use of his own personal plane.

After he became governor in 1996, he raked in tens of thousands of dollars in gifts, including gifts from people he later appointed to prestigious state commissions.

capital..it is said he did $300,000 of damage to computers, that isn't counting what it cost in ripple effect in info

5. He tried to take the furniture from the governor's mansion

During his tenure as governor, the mansion was remodeled, and he lived in a triple-wide trailer. When the remodeling was done, the mansion was redecorated and the Huckabees moved back in. When they left, they took the furniture with them, saying it had been a gift to them and not to the state. They finally gave it back. The symbol of the University of Arkansas is a razorback hog. Huckabee is not as sleek--he's just a hog.
