Huckabee - Osama assasination joke

[hehateme]

I'm praying the boys have audio for tomorrow regarding this

(CNN) — Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, known for his razor-sharp humor on the campaign trail, has again found it can be a double-edge sword, as he spent a third day explaining his admittedly “awkward” quip about Senator Barack Obama.

Huckabee talked to reporters Saturday after addressing graduates at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia. Not surprisingly, the first question was about Friday’s joke at the NRA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, about the Democratic presidential front-runner. It came up again Sunday in his appearance on “Meet the Press”.

After a loud noise back stage during his speech Friday, Huckabee joked, “That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a car. He’s getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him, and he dove for the floor.” The audience, who laughed as he started the line, turned quiet. (insert crickets, carcrash, random sound effect here....)

In his news conference Saturday, Huckabee acknowledged the line was a mistake. “It was a simple thing of an incredible distraction that happened somewhere backstage”, he said, “I made a rather awkward attempt at a joke, wasn’t all that great. I’ve apologized for it. I didn’t mean to offend anybody. I didn’t even remember having said it. I honestly had to go back and look at the tape.”

Waddle doodle....

It wasn't really offensive and even if it was, nobody should make a big deal about it. Sometimes the best thing to do, is let the person feel the douche chills and wallow in the flop sweat, instead of givng them any type of response.

[Snapman]

The worst thing about that joke is it made no fucking sense.

[krisko]

um

it would've been hilarious if he made it a racist joke. as it is, he just bombed. he was on Geraldo talking about yesterday and he said he was sorry and he said that he bombed. i like the guy, wouldn't vote for him, but i like him.

Yea what the fuck was sop funny about that?

[DonTheTrucker]

I guess he doesn't really wanna be VP that bad.

Too bad too, the guy lost 200 lbs without a stomach stapling. That takes some discipline, which is something so many politicians lack.

Oh, the joke sucked and made no sense either.

This Hayseed fuck is the most unfunny shithead.
I would have been sick if he somehow had the nomination.

Just because you're from the south and say things like "Well, the goat's milk doesn't turn up until the horses hooves wear down" doesn't mean he's charming or funny or cute.

I HATE Huckabee. That saggy skinned fuck.

I missed an ass, I am an ass...sorry...

and wow...I didn't even notice the slip up with Osama and Obama.....I stink....

[Sinn Fein]

Personally, I think it's a non-story.

[Hudson]

What are the odds some shithead is gonna insist that he take some racial sensitivity training?

[Chino Kapone]

It would be a story if he was the republican candidate.

Huckabee sucks.

[Zona992006]

With a name like Obsama, he cant possibly win!

[awax]

Huckabee sucks, hands out pardons to murderers like they were food stamps.

[Vyce]

Huckabee actually has a weird charm and plenty of charisma.

But he's fucking clownshoes. I hope to god McCain doesn't pick him as his running mate; it IS possible, though, because the fundies love the guy (mainly because the prick did nothing but play identity politics this campaign with his "hey guys, vote for me, I'm a Christian!").

[Zona992006]

I think Huckabee is a non issue after that little uh, joke..?

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Hope the Secret Service paid him a lil visit for a chat.
