Huck's Ethics Issues

Someone at RedState asked the other day which candidate would have more ethical bombshells come to light between now and election day: Rudy or Huck. Well, chock one up for Huck.

Blogs For Fred Thompson is linking to a series of articles about Huck accepting money from a company engaged in embryonic stem cell research. They also detail Huck receiving $378,000 in "consulting fees" in 2006 while he was still governor of Arkansas. Finally the detail the relationship between Huck and a company called Flagship. Huck is on the board of directors for this company. The essence is that this company would benefit with an increase in government control of health care.

As this is detailed more, I think we will find an incredible level of conflicts of interest and it would not surprise me to find some influence peddling as well. We have already seen that in the area of pardons.

I am a bit tired of the baggage that Huck comes with.
