Colbert: Why do you thik the people of Texas will go for your message?

Huckabee: Because I understand BBQ

I strongly disagree with Mike Huckabee on most of his politics, but I give him serious props for his various appearances on The Colbert Report. He's repeatedly asked Colbert to be his vice precidential running mate if he gets the nomination, and this week he played air hocky with the state of Texas on the air during an interview.

It's so important that people have the ability to not take themselves seriously, and to recognize the fun parts of satire. I wouldn't vote for him, but I greatly respect that Huckabee is able to do these things.
