KILL! KILL! KILL! Now, THAT'S funny.
By Ray Abruzzo on 05/22/2008
Filed under: Ray AbruzzoOn a recent radio show hosted by conservative Bill Bennett, Joe Lieberman chuckled with glee at the idea put forth by Bennett that Hillary would bomb Iran. "It does have an appeal to it" he added through his Fudd-like chortle. Mike Huckabee at an NRA meeting "joked" that a noise back stage was Obama hitting the ground after someone pointed a gun at him. When Huckabee was forced to apologize for his dangerously stupid adlib, he inadvertently gave us a further peek into his dark, twisted soul. He said many politicians get caught making jokes that they may have to back track from later, citing John McCain's BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN ditty.
Here's the kicker, Huckabee then added, "I thought that was funny". How does it happen that an ordained Baptist minister, former Presidential candidate can laugh about bombing another country? (I still can't find the rationale for him even speaking at NRA meeting. I am not sure Jesus would be behind repealing the ASSAULT WEAPONS ban.) So here we have three prominent politicians, all three with aspirations to be Commander in Chief, two of whom wear their religion on their sleeves, publicly laughing at the prospect of countless INNOCENT Iranians being killed. Even if it came to the point where we all agreed that action needed to be taken against a foreign country, shouldn't the gravity of the deaths of thousands of civilians force these men to stifle their laughs?
Happy Memorial Day....hmmm
