Newsweek has uncovered an incident from 1998 when presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee protected his son from prosecution after he tortured and killed a stray dog while employed as a counselor at Boy Scout Camp. The elder Huckabee leaned on the director of the state police, John Bailey, to deny a prosectuor’s request for an investigation into the matter, but then was fired:
“I’ve lost confidence in your ability to do your job,” Bailey says Huckabee told him. One reason Huckabee cited was “I couldn’t get you to help me with my son when I had that problem,” according to Bailey.
All of God’s creatures — right, preacher? Maybe Michael Vick needs a cell mate.
