Change needed
Editor, The Commercial:
That Saturday editorial was welcome and long overdue! Stu Soffer was, as you likely recall, appointed by Mike Huckabee — so he’s been there a while. Soffer is and always has been obstreperous and belligerent and brooks no disagreement with his expertise! That’s not to say he’s not fully knowledgeable — because he’s well recognized as an authority on election legal procedures.
But being smart and being a smartass are two quite different things. I guess you got as close to saying that as you’re likely to — understandable of course.
Huckabee is rather coarse of speech at times when he thinks his comments to be amusing — but has proved to be rather deceptive and dishonest, too, for a preacher. And that daughter of Huckabee’s who has lied like a rug to protect that monstrosity in the White House simply reflects the old adage my Mom relied on: “Birds of a feather flock together.”
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
Tracing Soffer’s origins and knowing what his sense of entitlement borne of longevity in that position is — he ain’t gonna change. Clean sweep is the answer and long overdue. Thanks for advocating that in better terminology than I would have used!
