Minor hurt - for those who don't know - he made a joke on the Beach Boys' song "Barbara Ann" saying Bomb Iran.  And then a joke about IEDs and Murtha criticized him.  He responded to Murtha by saying:

"Lighten up and get a life."

Voted neutral. I don't think it will hurt him. I'm guessing that most people who view him favorably won't be bothered by this and those that don't much like him won't see him in any better light. It's hard to know if it will bother undecideds, but none of what he's said is really explosive...I don't think it will to any great extent.

I say "minor." It certainly didn't help him at all, that's for sure.
