AP finally picks up on the Huckabee/Dumond story. They advance it by looking at all the pardons and commutations he granted, which were twice as many as the three previous governors combined.

But on the Dumond case, they stick with the he said/she said crap, believing his lie that he didn't push for his release. Why didn't they just quote the letter:

“Dear Wayne,” Huckabee wrote in a letter to Dumond. “My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel that parole is the best way for your reintroduction to society to take place.”

If that's not pushing for parole, what is?

Could the be a another case of the cover-up being the part that trips him up?
