Eddie Haskell Romney-do not mock the happy fun ball!
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Republican Mitt Romney sharply criticized rival Mike Huckabee Tuesday for joking in a recent interview that President Bush has not been well versed on foreign affairs.

“I’m not sure if Mr. Huckabee meant the attack as a joke, but this is not the time to be mocking our president,” Romney said at an event in Johnston, Iowa, according to the conservative Web site Townhall.com.

Huckabee's comments came in an interview with Iowa's Quad City Times, in which a reporter asked him why, last month, he was at first unaware of a National Intelligence Estimate detailing the threat posed by Iran, despite the fact the report had been made public for several hours.

"That was released at 10 o’clock in the morning," Huckabee said. "At 5:30 in the afternoon, somebody says, ‘Have you read the report?’ Maybe I should’ve said, ‘Have you read the report?’ President Bush didn’t read it for four years; I don’t know why I should read it in four hours.”

Romney said Tuesday the comments were in 'bad taste," and lifted from the "Democratic playbook."

Has there ever been a bigger tool, in the entire world, than Mitt Romney.

I feel so sorry for the Republicans and their embarrassing parade of candidates.

They're all trying to out-nutjob each other.

You know darn well that Romney's people are sitting in some conference room, plotting
their next move before the caucus, "Let's see how can we be more radical and loony-tunes
fringe than Mike Huckabee? That's IT! We'll give away free guns at the Baptist church tomorrow!"
