I saw Chris Mathews discussing Mike Huckabee's very poor, damn near invisible, joke on Hardball, earlier today. After playing the tape, Chris and his guests were dumbfounded as to the actual content of said joke and why it was so funny, as the conventioneers dutifully laughed and clapped on cue.
To summarize, Mike heard a horrible noise coming from the next room which turned out to be Debbie Wasserman-Schultz practicing her convention speech. Nyuck, nyuck.
Not particularly humorous, unless you're a pinhead. For those of you not born and raised (mostly) in the South, you may have missed the twofer.
A. Useless woman joke, and
B. Jew joke.
Believe me Chris, those in the know, completely 'got it'.
Disclaimer: I do not know if DWS is Jewish and I don't care. It doesn't matter. It was enough for Mike to include what he thought to be an obviously Jewish name (to teabillies, at least) into the smear. Mission accomplished. ANd folks still wonder why I despise Republicanites so much.
