Huckabee is one terrifically stupid bastard, isn’t he?

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.”

Pointless, not funny, and just another moment revealing him to be a jerk. It is shocking that he seems to believe that things like this and his very public decision to, ahem, not make Mitt Romney’s religion an issue in the election are entirely reasonable coming from a man who wanted to win the White House.

Again I say: if McCain is silly enough to choose Huckabee as his running mate, I’ll be voting for someone else.
