Last night, NBC News had a particularly unflattering report on gifts given to Mike Huckabee while he was governor of Arkansas. Nothing was proven to be illegal or in violation of state law. On the other hand, some might find it unwise for a sitting governor to receive $112,000 in gifts from private citizens in one year, at least one of which was a businessman appointed to a state commission.

Looking over the gift list, I notice that the Wendy’s hamburger chain gave the governor a discount card worth 50 percent off all purchases. Actual use by the governor was estimated at less than $100 that year. (Still, considering Huckabee’s healthy living later in lfe, maybe Wendy’s was secretly out to harm him.)
