Believe it or not, there's more on "Big" Kenny Alphin's mind than

The Case of the Missing Vest

. When he's not trying to get to the bottom of Vestgate 2012, Big Kenny is hitting the press circuit with his partner in crime, John Rich, in support of the duo's brand-new full-length crotch-kick to music, Hillbilly Jedi. As you can see above, Big and Rich recently appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, where they stopped talking "music" in order to get political. Well. Kind of. Highlights include:

* Morgan asks Big Kenny if he is or has ever been a liberal, to which BK responds, "I don't even know what that ... what that is."

* Kenny says, "The sky is our ceiling, the ground is our floor, and the world is our one big happy home, and we oughtta just love everybody. How 'bout that!" Points for that one, I guess.

* Big and Rich admit that they agree a lot and disagree a lot on political issues.

* Rich admits that he's conservative. As though Donald Trump's bestie would be liberal.

* Big Kenny likes "the word statesman," not that he necessarily seems to know what it means.

* Morgan wants to know if Big Kenny voted for Obama, but Kenny doesn't "think that's proper for [Morgan] to even ask that."

* Piers can't vote, Big Kenny gives him a hug.

Well. I feel like I've learned a lot. And by "a lot," I mean "that either Big Kenny is a closet liberal and doesn't want to alienate his base, or he genuinely doesn't know what 'liberal' means." Hat-tip to D. Striker for bringing this one to our attention.
