Huckabee Blows the Punchline

Mike Huckabee spoke to the NRA Friday and had a moment that he probably regrets:

During a speech to the National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky Friday, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee joked to the audience that an offstage noise was Barack Obama avoiding gunfire.

"That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he's getting ready to speak," Huckabee said. "Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor."

The line was met with laughter.

He blew the punchline. He should have said this:

"That was Barack Obama falling off a chair. He must have seen a gun and fainted."

That would have been much funnier and would have kept the lefties from being quite so hysterical.

Mike - if you need me to write some stuff for you, you know where to find me.
