    The response from right-wing radio host Mike Gallagher? “My sympathy, my heart goes out to Mike Huckabee right now.”

    Really, Mr. Gallagher? You heart Huckabee? What about the victims’ families?

    My point isn’t that Huckabee must necessarily be hammered over an eight-year-old decision of his (which, granted, appears now to have been a bad one). It’s that people like Gallagher out to be called out on their hypocrisy: Did Gallagher say anything like that when Lee Atwater was savaging Michael Dukakis over Willie Horton to help get George H.W. Bush elected?
