The Lamest Excuse Ever

I really can't even believe somebody would have the audacity to claim this, but Mike Huckabee, Arkansas Governor and 2008 Presidential wannabe, proved me wrong. From The Boston Globe:

Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday a flight he took on a private plane that was provided by a state contract-holder did not pose a conflict of interest.

The plane was provided by the director of a youth ranch that has been paid at least $8.5 million through a contract with the state.

Huckabee said the flight was not a gift to him, but instead was an in-kind contribution to his political action committee.

You have got to be kidding me. Huckabee, his wife, and daughter catch a free flight and it's a gift to his PAC? Even DC republican, as corrupt as they are, wouldn't even think of making this assertion, although after seeing this article I sure some light bulbs lit up.

Look Mike, the contractor flew you and your family, that's a gift to you, not some committee that only exists on paper. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of, and even worse, it makes you look cheap.
