Man, I never though a minister would go there:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Republican Mike Huckabee responded to an offstage noise during his speech to the National Rifle Association by suggesting it was Barack Obama diving to the floor because someone had aimed a gun at him.
Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: “That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He’s getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he—he dove for the floor.”
There were only a few murmurs in the crowd after the remark.
The Obama campaign had no comment.
Well, I’ll make one for them.
Huckabee, you’re a dumbass.
The good news is that I think we can forget about the Huckster getting the Veep nod.

Geez, Huckabee’s “gaffe” (if anyone is calling it that) is going to make everyone forget about George Allen’s. This was beyond stupid for him to say. I see now more than ever why I was not behind Huckabee in his primary run.
Even still, I think I need some aspirin.

Nope. That sound was ME hitting the floor…Right before I started rolling on it. As in ROTFLMAO - at what a douche bag Huckabee is.

Huckaloon proves that is just as big of an idiot and some of his Mormon-hating supporters. Good to see him doing himself in…what a Christian socialist arse.

Huckabee is just another charlatan preacher. I don’t find him the least bit charming or entertaining. He’s creepy and sleazy.
