...politicians also need the late-night shows, on which they can end-around the harder-edged media. The night before Iowa, Huckabee kicked off Leno's return, answering such hardball questions as "How did you lose all that weight?" and jamming on bass with the house band, à la Bill Clinton blowing sax on Arsenio Hall in 1992. Beats workin...
...Scotland. I thought about getting a rack of lamb from New Zealand, but I couldn't resist asking the guy behind the seafood counter for the fish with the most frequent-flyer miles. I was going to get the opah from Fiji, but then I spotted the Chilean sea bass from South Georgia island, southeast of Argentina?more than 7,000 miles of travel just to get eaten for a magazine article. Already feeling like some sort of insane European king, I added some asparagus from Peru to my shopping cart and, for dessert, threw in a pineapple from Hawaii...

Everywhere he goes, his celebrity endorser Chuck Norris follows...
...Huckabee will hold a bash at the Val Air ballroom (which you might remember as the site of Howard Dean's unfortunate 2004 primal scream) in West Des Moines, with his buddy, martial arts star Chuck Norris. The campaign is trying to book a band with which Huckabee, a bass player, could jam. Hillary Clinton and husband, Bill, will host a party across town featuring the band Big Head Todd and the Monsters. And former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is throwing a fete for supporters and volunteers with three local bands at the Des Moines Quality Inn, where...
