I confess I’ve never had the endurance to watch the Honey Boo Boo show all the way through, terrified as I am that I’ll be gripped by an uncontrollable compulsion to load up on Mountain Dew and deep-fried Mars Bars.

I do have a soft spot for Uncle Poodle, though.

But it seemed well, a bit…mean when Jimmie Kimmel tried to bait Honey Boo Boo into endorsing Barack Obama by telling her Mitt Romney said he preferred Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi over the extroverted 7 year-old.

Whether it was meaner to Honey Boo Boo or Barack Obama, I’m not sure.
