Huckabee Loves Gifts

Posted by Michael Link on January 14, 2008 at 01:20 PM

Mike Huckabee recalls the tale thusly: "At a campaign stop in Michigan yesterday, a woman came up to me and said 'I don't have any money but I want to give you something for the campaign.' Then she reached out to me and gave me a gold ring."

And then, Mike Huckabee, the man known for his questionable habit of accepting gifts inappropriately, took it. And it appears he took it without asking the questions that would allow it to be reported as an in-kind contribution.

Just add that to the list of gifts he took as governor:

- A $1,000 pair of cufflinks
- Tens of thousands of dollars of clothing
- Gift certificates to sporting goods stores
- Gift certificates to clothing boutiques
- Gift certificates to Wal-Mart
- A $3,695 pair of cowboy boots
- A $500 belt
- 200 copies of a book Huckabee wrote
- Flowers
- Air travel
- Pastries
- Clothing
- Parties
