Is Huckabee Cooked?

Weigel rounds up conservative reaction to Huckabee granting suspected cop killer Maurice Clemmons clemency. TNC's read:

It's worth reviewing what actually happened in the Maurice Clemmons case. Huckabee, apparently, reduced the sentence of a guy who was given 100 years in prison, for crimes he committed between the age of 16 and 18--none of which were murder or rape. I just find it impossible to criticize him for that decision. What I was trying to get at yesterday--albeit rather meekly--was that people who have an issue with Huckabee would do better to look at the laundry list of fuck-ups and loopholes which allowed Clemmons to remain free.

Clemmons was shot dead this morning.
