Crooks and Liars:
Tim Russert asked Huckabee about the very dangerous joke he he told about Barack Obama at the NRA dinner in Kentucky. The one where Obama gets assassinated.
He responds by bringing up Bobby Knight—saying he’ll say stupid things again and he thought John McCain’s “bomb, bomb Iran song parody was a hoot.
Huckabee: There was a Bobby Knight incident going on back stage with a chair that fell and made a terrible noise, distracted the crowd.
I apologized for it immediately. I would never ever try to inject something like that to create an endangered moment for any candidate. I don’t care who it is. And ah…you know, it wasn’t the first dumb thing I’ve ever said and let me go and announce it on this program, it won’t be the last dumb thing I’ve ever said. We all in politics do, Ronald Reagan had an open mic and said “I’m gonna launch a nuclear attack against Russia.” I remember John McCain sing “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.” I thought that was funny, but I mean a lot of people didn’t.

What an example by a Rev. who represents American Christian Values. That floating cross trick wont work again either. Looks like Rev. Huck thinks he's in and Mitt's out.
Maybe some of these blood-thirsty, Republican religious fanatics should take George Bush's mental health tests, and then take some pharmaceutical pills for their "delusions."
BTW it's good to see GWB has broadened his vocabulary. Question is, can he define "delusion?"
Reagan didn't think anyone was listening when he pulled his joke and he got a lot of negative comments about it later.
Huckabuck better check his memory banks because the tapes are running backwards.
