In addition to finger-pointing, Huckabee is famous for at least two other unattractive behaviors: getting revenge and playing God. He got to indulge both when he pushed for the release of DuMond. He got revenge on Bill Clinton, who was a distant relative of Dumond's Arkansas victim (the daughter of a monied Clinton backer) and who was being pilloried by conservatices like Steve Dunleavy for taking a personal interest in the case and for, well, just being Bill Clinton, and he got to play God by leading DuMond (who had been castrated or who castrated himself, depending on whom you believe, by unknown assailants following the rape, and who had claimed to find God in his more familiar incarnation while in prison) to freedom. Haven't seven years of pettiness and self-promotion in the White House been enough?
