Who did Keith Richards rape?

Yea, because if there's one thing hyped-up rich rock stars need is more pardons for their crimes. What a great nation we live in, where the common superstar doesn't have to answer for their behavior.

I wonder how it would go if a governor decided to preferentially pardon apostates.
Probably would be in for more criticism than the Huckster gets for doing that to born-agains.

Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
This I know.
For the Bible tells me so.

 
EmmaLou 2008-01-06 12:59:35 AM  
Because I'm sure Keith Richards was just worried sick about that all these years and spent many sleepless nights knowing he had a traffic ticket in Arkansas.

 
ISITTHATOBVIOUS 2008-01-06 01:00:51 AM  
Of course he did. To try to execute Keith Richards would be futile. How many electrocutions has he survived already?

 
Shaggy_C 2008-01-06 01:05:27 AM  
But considering all of the innocent unborn that he saved, I think we can let this one go.

 
Ed Finnerty 2008-01-06 01:44:28 AM  
Anyone hear the NPR interview with him? I was pretty impressed by the way Maura Liason cornered him on the whole Evangelical issue. She asked him if that helped him in Iowa and he somewhat agreed.

Then she asked him if that would hold him up in NH. He waffled and said they didn't have enough time to cover all the things he wanted (i.e. Religion). Therefore he is only running ads about "Fiscal Responsibility".

What a crock of shiat.

Well Golly! Mr. Huckabee thinks the planet is only 6000 years old! These people scare me...

FTFY.

I think the overall lesson we should learn is that if Huckabee becomes president, you should either learn to play an instrument, or give yourself over to Jesus. It will be like a get out of jail free card.

"Golly, we finally get the Rolling Stones in Arkansas, and they have to obey the law? That happened when I was young, so now that I'm old and have power, I'll make sure they at least receive no consequences from ignoring the law for a quarter century. Now I am hip and forgiving, like Jesus!"

 
inconnu 2008-01-06 02:01:22 AM  
It was just a bit of reckless driving.

It's not like they murdered a hooker.

 
KramericaWallet 2008-01-06 02:02:02 AM  
No way, you have to be really good at playing the instrument: "If you can play guitar like Keith Richards, I'd do it for you."

Definitely easier to accept Jesus as your lord and savior.

 
monty666 [TotalFark] 2008-01-06 02:04:18 AM  
So Eddie Van Halen could have been pardoned for mass murder in Arkansas when Huckabee was the governor?

 
FarkingSean 2008-01-06 02:06:10 AM  
This ABSOLUTELY PROVES that Obama or Hillary should be President.

/sarcasm
//who cares about a traffic ticket pardon

Mike Seaver and his banana would like a word with you.

Anyone else think of "I (heart) Huckabee"?

/Great movie

Oh he's just sucking up the hippie vote where possible.

 
Sluggard Stone 2008-01-06 04:15:20 AM  
And Keith slips through the steely fingers of justice again.

 
moothemagiccow 2008-01-06 04:17:01 AM  
I guess this is the only chance you guys are going to get to shiat on him. I doubt he has any shot at NH.

 
KramericaWallet 2008-01-06 04:30:17 AM  
There'll be plenty of threads before the NH primary, and then we can all shiat on McCain for a while.

"When you can play guitar like Keith Richards, I'll pardon you too."
- Mike Huckabee

 
Komplex 2008-01-06 08:24:19 AM  
Huck-a-you
Huck-a-me
Mike Huckabee.

 
Bored Horde 2008-01-06 08:30:32 AM  
The sad thing is that Huckabee's scientific beliefs won't get him laughed off the debate stage.

Living in 2,000 year old myths is cool guys.

Win.

Compare actions late in one's governorship:

Huckabee - Pardons a minor traffic offense by a rock star
Clinton the 1st - Signs off on the execution of a mentally retarded man

/not a Republican

Death throes.

Yar, pardoning pirates is so 1700s.

This is a valuable comparison.

If we were all handed portal guns, you'd be that dude who made a portal on the floor and the ceiling.

And then thought about momentum as you hit 200 MPH.

 
TX-Law 2008-01-06 04:06:51 PM  
Can anyone imagine that if Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood were in a car together and not driving recklessly?

/They were probably driving a limo on fire, the wrong way, at 120 mph.
//Limozeen!
