Cue Senator Clinton's reference to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy as a reason not to end her campaign for the presidency. Cue former Republican candidate and ordained Southern Baptist minister Mike Huckabee's "joke": "[Obama] just tripped off a chair. He was getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him, and he dove for the floor." (Followd by the obligatory "I regret that some may have been offended" blah blah blah.)
