Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is a slick, smooth, charming guy. He would've been a dangerous nominee, because he's TV-friendly and quick-witted in a folksy, unthreatening way. But he's actually a rar-right nutcase. And sometimes his jokes fall flat. As in the clip above. If you can't get a laugh from telling a "someone is going to shoot Barack Obama" joke in a talk at the NRA then your delivery needs work, we say. Oh, also we say: wtf.

Actually, they re not. Seeing that this is what passes for conservative humor nowadays, is anyone surprised that The Half Hour News Hour was an abject failure? You don t have to answer that. Download | Play Download | Play CNN: During a speech before the National Rifle Association convention Friday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee — who has endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — joked that an unexpected offstage noise was Democrat Barack Obama looking to avoid a gunman. “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.” How is this even remotely funny? I know the Huckster is quick on his feet, but how did he think of this joke so quickly? That s some serious improv skills right there. UPDATE: Huckabee does the right thing and apologizes: During my speech at the N.R.A., a loud noise backstage, that sounded like a chair falling, distracted the crowd and interrupted my speech. I made an off hand remark that was in no way intended to offend or disparage Sen. Obama. I apologize that my comments were offensive. That was never my intention.”

Sen. McCain: Obama "supports sitting down with a state sponsor" of Hamas.

Steve Benen: Yesterday, the president, with not-so-subtle language, suggested to the Israeli Knesset that Barack Democrats are Chamberlain-like appeasers because Obama is willing to talk to Iran (just as Bush’s own Defense Secretary and Secretary of State have recommended). As it turns out, Obama had taken the day off from the campaign trail, but the entire party had his back, and quickly and aggressively pushed back against Bush — and against John McCain for applauding Bush’s smear. Silent Patriot: At a town hall meeting in South Dakota today, Barack Obama absolutely laced into President Bush and John McCain, challenging them to a debate on foreign policy that he knows Democrats will win. Forcefully declaring that they have things to answer for, Obama laid out the case as to why it s George Bush s policies, embraced entirely by John McCain, that have actually strengthened Iran and enabled Hamas to take control of Gaza. Download | Play Download | Play YouTube I want to be perfectly clear with George and John McCain .If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States of America, that is a debate I m willing to have anytime, anywhere because that is a debate that I will win because George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for. This is a debate that we should all be eager to have. There is no question that American foreign policy over the past eight years has done nothing to secure America, and has had the adverse effect of (a) strengthening Iran and (b) allowing other conflicts to fester as they go unaddressed. What s more, this policy is not just George Bush s; it s also John McCain s. The American people are smart enough to recognize this, and they have rejected it. It kinda makes you wonder why John McCain would seek to tether himself to George Bush s sinking ship, doesn t it?

Obama takes strong hit at Bush and McCain, inviting them to national security.

Making it all about him again.

We've all seen and heard from the nutty psycho pastor on Barack's side, but a pastor for Hillary has surfaced that's just as nutty! Dr. James David Manning has proclaimed "with the authority of the Lord" to say unto you that Barack Hoosane O-bomb-er is a closet homosexual. Wait till you hear what he thinks about Jeremiah Wright and Oprah Winfrey! You can't make this stuff up, folks! PODCAST VERSION

If you're going to accuse Barack Obama of appeasement, it's useful to know the origins of the expression, in Neville Chamberlain's abandonment of Czechoslovakia to Hitler at the Munich conference. Watch spluttering right-wing radio host Kevin James struggle to deal with an ambush question from Chris Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball yesterday: "What did Neville Chamberlain do wrong in 1939?" Of course, if you're planning to demonstrate a Republican talking head's ignorance of history, as Matthews was attempting, it's also useful to remember that Munich was not in 1939, but in 1938.

During a speech in Jerusalem, President Bush jumped head first into the 2008 presidential campaign by taking a shot at Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, by comparing his willingness to hold diplomatic talks with Iran to the appeasement of Nazis in the 1930 s. Download | Play Download | Play President Bush s foreign policy has been nothing short of a disaster and even MSNBC s Pat Buchanan can t help but call this what it is - an unprecedented smear of an American presidential candidate from outside the country. Buchanan and Harold Ford Jr. both agree that Bush has really stepped in it with these comments and the big question now, as it relates the presidential campaign, is how Senator John McCain reacts. McCain has already used the Hamas smear repeatedly against Senator Obama, but will he embrace these farcical statements of President Bush? Senator Obama immediately responds to the attacks: It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel s independence to launch a false political attack. It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally, Israel. Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all the elements of American power, including tough, principled and direct diplomacy to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. According to Will Bunch, Bush just committed an act of political treason: And you, Mr. Bush, are the leader of us all. To use a diplomatic setting on foreign soil to score a cheap political point at home is way beneath your office, way beneath your country, and way beneath the people you serve. You have been handed an office once uplifted to great heights by fellow countrymen from Washington to Lincoln to Roosevelt to Eisenhower, and have plunged it so deeply into the Karl-Rove-and-Rush-Limbaugh-fueled world of political destruction and survival of all costs that have lost all perspective and all sense of decency. To travel to Israel and to associate a sitting American senator and your possible successor in the Oval Office with those who at one time gave comfort to an enemy of the United States is, in and of itself, an act of political treason. Read on UPDATE: (Nicole) You knew it had happen. Lieberman has come out with a statement (surprise, surprise!) backing President Bush: President Bush got it exactly right today when he warned about the threat of Iran and its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. It is imperative that we reject the flawed and naïve thinking that denies or dismisses the words of extremists and terrorists when they shout Death to America and Death to Israel, and that holds that if only we were to sit down and negotiate with these killers they would cease to threaten us. It is critical to our national security that our commander-in-chief is able to distinguish between America s friends and America s enemies, and not confuse the two. I bet Holy Joe doesn t want to be reminded that the Bush family knows all about Nazi appeasement.

Is the senator planning to expand America or is this a sign of fatigue?
