In season 7 episode 28 of The Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert welcomes politician and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to the show. As a former presidential candidate and outspoken conservative, Huckabee provides an interesting perspective to the political discussions that take place on the show.

Throughout the episode, Colbert and Huckabee engage in a lively and often combative conversation about a range of topics, including gun control, same-sex marriage, and the role of religion in politics. Despite their differences in opinion, the two men maintain a respectful discourse that keeps the audience engaged and entertained.

One of the standout segments of the episode is a satirical take on Huckabee's recent comments about birth control. In real life, Huckabee sparked controversy by suggesting that government-funded birth control could lead to "a culture of dependency" among women. Colbert takes this idea to its extreme by creating a fake ad for a fictional product called "Depend-a-Pants," which purportedly helps "free-loading" women avoid the "burden" of birth control. This segment highlights the absurdity of Huckabee's argument and serves as a reminder of the importance of reproductive rights.

Other highlights of the episode include a hilarious skit in which Huckabee attempts to teach Colbert how to "blend in" with the conservative crowd, as well as a musical performance by rapper Nas. The episode concludes with a spirited debate between the two men about the merits of Obamacare, which serves as a fitting end to a thought-provoking and entertaining show.

Overall, season 7 episode 28 of The Colbert Report provides a compelling and enlightening look at the world of politics and current events. By bringing on guests like Mike Huckabee and engaging in engaging conversations, Colbert is able to educate and entertain his audience while also encouraging critical thinking and discourse. Whether you're a die-hard political junkie or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is well worth a watch.
