One more thing
Okay, so I just want to make one more comment about Huckabee's book. One thing that really bothered me about it was the way he kept talking about the circumstances by which he became governor of Arkansas. He was actually Lieutenant Governor when the previous Governor was convicted for his role in the Whitewater scandal. So, Huckabee was going to be sworn in when the previous Governor decided he didn't want to resign after all. Anyway, it was a bit of a crisis, I can see that.
Still, it bothered me that Huckabee kept calling it the biggest constitutional crisis Arkansas had ever faced. Yeah. Because Federal troops weren't ever called in to make sure that black children were able to go to high school. And that state didn't ever secede from the union. So, definitely, Huckabee's minor scuffle over the governorship was the biggest constitutional crisis. Talk about an ahistorical viewpoint.
