[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Another former "dude who might be President or Vice President someday"...

It seems more a case of incompetence, than an act of deliberate dishonesty. Heck, Huckabee took over 100K in gifts while he was governor. If he wins the GOP nomination for POTUS, you all will get to read all about it - again and again.  And I will probably be voting for the Libertarian or Green candidate.

"The 60-year-old former prosecutor and two-term attorney general admitted that he failed to indicate on a required campaign disclosure that he took a $1,600 helicopter ride with a supporter." 

A $1600 helicopter ride? Sounds like chicken $hi%. Though apparantly that's not his only ethical quandry by far according to the story.

Oh Bev, the Feds would like to talk to you next.


I hope hers gets dragged out 2 years.

either way looks like he got what he deserved.
