Don't know quite what to think about this one. CNN is reporting that while speaking at the NRA this morning, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee responded to a loud noise offstage by making a joke about Barack Obama trying to evade a gunman.
I shit thee not.
The relevant quote, according to CNN:
"That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he's getting ready to speak," said the former Arkansas governor, to audience laughter. "Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor."
Ironically, I am showing "Ghosts of Mississippi" right now to my US History and Government classes.
Jokes about black political leaders avoiding gunfire, from a southern governor. I usually have a pretty good sense of humor, but I don't get it.
They have absolutely no sense of shame. None.
