As Mike Huckabee gains in the polls, the former Arkansas governor is finding that his record in office is getting more scrutiny. One issue likely to get attention is his handling of a sensitive family matter: allegations that one of his sons was involved in the hanging of a stray dog at a Boy Scout camp in 1998. The incident led to the dismissal of David Huckabee, then 17, from his job as a counselor at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Ark. It also prompted the local prosecuting attorney bombarded with complaints generated by a national animal-rights groupto write a letter to the Arkansas state police seeking help investigating whether David and another teenager had violated state animal-cruelty laws.

Hell. Spread a picnic lunch out on them. The humans inside the tablecloths would keep the ants away.

Mitt made all those with ONE wife? He must have a couple of others hidden in the attic.

It's a family photo. So what if they dressed the kids alike for the shot.

Understood. I think some of the nastier comments are rooted in class resentment
