Default Lay down AKs to a Reraise from a late position limper?

this hand pretty much hit me like a ton of bricks. the only read i have is that CO is a mega-idiot, so i knew he was probably going to play a junk hand for all his chips. i know that a limp/reraise from early position usually indicates massive strength, but i didn't think the button was dumb enough to be limping AA or KK from the button. anyways, when button 3-bets, should i:

a) fold
b) reraise/push
c) call (ugh)

Please don't post results.

You're right, calling is terrible, so lets trash that option. It's either fold or push. I play at lower limits ($20 buy-in and lower) so the players are less tricky. I usually give someone credit for the limp reraise the first time I see it from them, especially in a situation like this where I'll still have plenty of chips.
