Mike Huckabee during a speech commenting on a loud noise in the background.

“That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He was just getting ready to speak, and somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor.”

    Good Lord! I know you are speaking at the NRA, but Jesus! You are really trying to make a joke during a public address about a Democratic Presidential candidate being assassinated? A candidate who is running on platform of change. A candidate who is well received, extremely popular among the enlightened, misunderstood and misconstrued by the undereducated, “disenfranchised” rural (white) population, and the toast of the medias town? You said this about an African-American candidate, who is representing minorities everywhere, unabashedly speaking about race, calling for change in every aspect of our country, all while balking at the Status Que? You really just did that Mike Huckabee?

    I’d say Robert and John Kennedy forgot to laugh, but I can’t. They were men cut from the same cloth, who represented the same kind of change and reformation in their time, and they were shot.

About

The Matt Irick Blog
I find humor in what people hold Holiest. Race, religion, music, sex, politics, and sports are what interest me, and also what I like to discuss and make light of the most. Sensitivity is the wild card of comedy. I believe the biggest laughs come from the humorous acknowledgment, and subsequent release of uncomfortable tension.


My hobbies include taking stock options, being thanked after sex, and having my asshole friends write quotes saying what my hobbies include.


I am not trying to be crass, this is simply who I am. If you get insulted, you probably missed the point.
