CARTOON: The Pardon

I’m sure the former Governor Haley Barbour would like to have this week wiped off his permanent record. Judging by the calls I’ve received on my show, the letters to the editor, the Facebook comments I’ve read, Mississippians are disgusted by what he did. There is no denying his brilliance handling things like Katrina and other disasters that crushed this state. But the whirlwind that blew up over his Pardonpalooza threatens to cause serious damage to his legacy.
