Man website Asylum recently decided to ask the goateed political sage what his porn-star name would be, God bless them. The answer: “Honky Bernstein,” which is composed of his first pet’s name and, we think, his mother’s maiden name. (We’d always heard that your porn-star name was your middle name and your street name, but apparently this method is popular as well. There are no hard and fast rules to these things. Anyway.) Chuck somewhat adorably, somewhat annoyingly actually refused to say “honky” out loud, and instead gave hints like, “It’s a word that was used a lot on The Jeffersons,” and, “We had a white cat.” Then he goes and shouts out the word “cracker”! Go figure. For the record, Chuck says that it was his dad who named the cat — which, after all, was “a really white” cat. Oh, and he would choose Mary Ann over Ginger because, “You want to be able to have a conversation when you’re done.” Chuck!
