Huckabee...Shoots and...

Potential Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Mike Huckabee, struck an all time low while speaking at an NRA convention over the weekend. Reacting to a noise in the background while delivering a speech, he said the following,

"...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 dove for the floor."

Really, Mike? A joke about assassinating a presidential candidate? That's a major no-no, even at an NRA convention. Especially at an NRA convention. They might be a wee bit too gung-ho about their right to own and carry weapons, but they are as conscientious as can be when it comes to knowing that you never, ever, aim a gun at someone unless you intend to pull the trigger. And you never, never, never joke about such a serious subject matter.

Kudos to the NRA attendees who greeted Huckabee's ignorance with groans and silence. Any rational person would immediately eliminate Huckabee from VP consideration. I anxiously await Grampy InSane's forthcoming announcement of Huckabee as his running mate. Bang, bang.
