Jerry Cox?????
I still like Mike Huckabee despite his deliberate insult to the decent and hard working people of Little Rock's Hillcrest neighborhood. The lame duck governor has made a calculated decision that he will not need the good will of that portion of Pulaski County for the next 10 months. We shall see.
You can read all about it on the Arkansas Times blog. The Huckster has appointed the head of the Family Council as a Justice of the Peace for the most liberal part of town. Nice work, Mr. Governor.
This ill-considered appointment gives Mr. Cox the golden opportunity to serve with honor or make a total fool of himself. He has a record of going "over the top" on a few things that are not "family" issues, such as medical marijuana.
Just when you think you've seen everything, the governor comes along with this.
It is a pleasure to consider that, as he moves on the national stage, Mike Huckabee's tendency toward peevishness will be dealt with my much less sympathetic reporters and politicians - even inside his own party! The Huck will be getting an education on the finer points of politics soon enough.
