I'd like to add a little more on the claim by Mike Huckabee that the free travel he accepted was an in-kind gift to his PAC. The bottom line is that if you think Congress' free travel is out of control, imagine what it would be if practices like this become widely accepted. It would be a veritable orgy of graft written off as gifts to paper tigers.
We might as well just throw out all ethics laws and go ahead and give all politicians their own private slush funds. You see, these aren't the practices of a public servant, no, these are the practices of a public sycophant. Quite simply put, Huckabee is using his position of power in order to acquire freebies for him and his family. If that isn't unethical, what the hell is?
