Huckabee: McCain's 'Bomb Iran' Song Was Funny

On Meet The Press today, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee apologized for making a joke about Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) dodging a gunman at the NRA convention. Huckabee also noted that other politicians had made poorly received off-the-cuff jokes, like when John McCain sang "bomb Iran," which Huckabee said he thought was funny.

Aww shucks. He's just a dumb yokel. America loves it's morons.

that's not a bad joke, and 1st time listening to him i feel i has a good sense when he knows he's done something wrong and doesn't seem to be hesitant to admit it. He shouldn't need to apologise for that it's just a bit of fun at Obama's expense. the bomb bomb iran isn't funny cause war isn't a joke, real people lose their lives and suffer because of war. The saddest thins is it's children who suffer the most.

@maxx1000 people make mistakes and say stupid things. everyone does.

Governor Huckabee is "the ruler by which all politicians should be measured." He is the first to admit a mistake and apolozige. Now, THAT'S ceritainly unusual with politicians. They will never admit to a mistake. Gottal love Huckabee.

i think we should just give israel the go-ahead to turn iran into a sea of glass and we won't have to worry about that train wreck of a nation anymore.

THANK YOU, the people that don't find it funny obviously don't know the song, which leads me to believe are a majority of young loudmouths that think they know everything. a leader that doesn't crack a joke fits in with a dictator

[ifeelallright]

huckabee is too honest, that's why he won't be president

[croakacola]

I thought that song was funny. A real bomb on Iran isn't funny, but it's just funny that it fits with the song barbara ann.

[hinbane]

I LOL AT POSTS FROM 5 MONTHS AGO!

[chukmaty]

Because the leadership and military of Iran is sadistically evil and should be bombed. Deal with it.
