Conference goers seem not to "get" Rick Perry's wildly funny joke about Jose Cuervas

Gosh I thought it was funny that the governor bragged about his diverse appointments and especially Jose Cervas to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Get it? His name sounds like a brand of alcohol from south of the border. Why that's nearly as funny as:

Bush - department of agriculture
Bloomberg - information services (new one - but really "Bloomberg News" and information. Slap my knee that one's a funny un)
Cantor - official representative to the Preakness (get it? 'cause horses "cantor")
McCain - ambassador to Scotland
Gingrich - IRS/alcohol 'cause his name makes "gin" and "rich" with an extra "g"
Huntsman - fish and game
Pawlenty - tax commissioner (get it? he'd bring in "pawlenty of money")
Weiner - USDA (that's another hilarious one)
Santorum - health and human services (Google "Santorum" if you need help on why that one's funny)

o.k. Now that you've Googled that last one. Still funny to make jokes about someone's name being associated with something? Yes? No?
