Hucka-blunder? Obama joke raises eyebrows


(NECN: Louisville, Kentucky) - John McCain may get the headlines for his strong stance on continuing the war in Iraq, but it might be Mike Huckabee who gets the most soundbite plays.

Huckabee was speaking at the NRA convention Friday when there was a noise backstage. Huckabee turned, then ad libbed, "That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak - someone aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor."

The comment drew a few laughs from the crowd, but nothing from the Obama campaign. It declined to comment.
