It's good to have a good daddy

Dem. gov. Mike Beebe plans to pardon his son for a felony drug arrest.

"Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe plans to pardon his son for a felony drug charge from more than a decade ago.
....

Kyle Beebe, who is now 34, was charged in 2003 with possession of a controlled substance -- marijuana -- with intent to deliver. He was fined and sentenced to three years supervised probation, according to CNN affiliate KATV."

Kudos to Dad Beebe, now do the honorable thing and pardon ALL those arrested for this type of "crime".

The Arkansas Parole Board recommended the pardon last month. It came after Kyle Beebe wrote a lengthy letter in his pardon application.

Mike Beebe told KATV that he's done more than 700 pardons, mostly for nonviolent offenders
