Good sense of humor? [Huckabee]

[Jed K]

There have been many times when I've felt he tries too hard to be funny and, as a result, often fails; however, in the last debate, he had a few moments that were quite good.

What do you think? Is he funny? Does he have a good sense of humor or does he try too hard?

Some of his jokes are neither funny nor cool. I saw a video where he was hunting (doves or quail not sure) and the group got 3 birds. He said these birds said they wouldn't vote for me. That's what happens, you vote for me you live, you don't you die. It probably was just a failed attempt at humor, but it really turned me off. There where a couple other weird jokes like that, but I can't remember exactly what now.

Having a good sense of humor and telling good jokes are two different things. Bill Clinton told a lot of jokes that people considered in bad taste as well (like the "Lincoln Bedroom" joke). I think Huckabee does have a sense of humor, even though his jokes aren't always the most appropriate. For instance, at the debate, the whole "Chuck Norris would kick me in the head if I disagreed" may be funny, but it's not something you really want to hear from a presidential candidate.
