Great call or a complete donkey?

[automat]

i wouldnt even bet my bottom pair in a normal situation, but i sensed a LOT of weakness from both his limp and his bet on the flop so i shoved. are there any good reasons for his call with nothing but king high? obv he s pretty short but he d have 5 bb left after a possible fold. theres hardly any hand he can beat except a "32o"-bluff anyway, he s even behind against every weak ace. if he faces a ten, hes drawing to 3 outs at best. how can he make the call?

guess i m a bit partisan, so i d like to hear some opinions on that one.
