Ben, of Ben & Jerry's fame, has created a special ice cream for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Stephen Colbert said Wednesday night that the name, "Bernie's Yearning," sounds like a soft-core porno, trotting out his Sanders impersonation to imagine some dialogue from such a movie. But there's a problem, he said — or at least he will make one up: "This delicious treat is a violation of the well-known Ice Cream Equal Time law. Legally, Ben has to give equal churn time to all the other candidates by making a flavor for each of them." Not waiting for Ben to comply with his fictional law, Colbert offered his own suggestions. They're all pretty good, but Mike Huckabee's flavor was a crowd favorite, and with good reason. Watch below. Peter Weber
