The lamestream media has bedeviled Herman Cain with another one of its merciless “gotcha” questions: how does the Herman Cain view China’s military? Aww, shit…. hm. They’re bad? They’re just really bad, super seriously awful and peace, Herman wants peace, so more money for more American bombs, for peace, America is awesome, we rule, God, is this question over yet? OH WAIT, and, uh, this: we must prevent them from getting nukes! They want nukes, like all filthy unsmiling communists, according to “indications.” There, is that enough of a platform? Sure, sort of, if he were talking about North Korea. China has had nuclear weapons since 1964.
From an interview on PBS Newshour, via Shanghaist:
JUDY WOODRUFF: Do you view China as a potential military threat to the United States?
HERMAN CAIN: I do view China as a potential military threat to the United States… we already have superiority in terms of our military capability, and I plan to get away from making cutting our defense a priority and make investing in our military capability a priority, going back to my statement: peace through strength and clarity. So yes they’re a military threat. They’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have. So yes, we have to consider them a military threat.
In absence of thoughts, repeat words! In the course of three meaningless sentences: “military, military, priority, priority, military, develop, develop, military,” THERE. [Shanghaist]

Soooo….Herman Cain is the male African-American Sarah Palin, foreign policy-wise?
Whooda thunk it?
Without quite as many rednecks in the family, though.
Probably fewer meth labs, then.
Cain has a daughter with chunky thighs, too? Also?
Am I going to have to add a third icon to my shrine to chunky failed Republican presidential candidates' daughters? Haha, who knows? I'm just keeping that Clinton spirit alive.
Chances are you can't see North Korea from Mr. Cain's front porch. Or tanning bed.
Hey my tip made da big time. Honestly I only clicked that link because I was drunk and thought it said "Tits." Thought I would fwd that Shanghaiist good love you long time tip after I realized I wasn't gonna see Ken's nipples.

Did I win a Pizza?
No, but Herm might grope you a little, in the best TSA spirit, if you got some nice hooters.
Ah yeah. I heard their blacks are better at it than our blacks. Maybe a 3-way with Clarence?!
Or Ron Christie.
I sent that coulter thing to the tips thingy, but nuthin' yet.

He's the African-American Joe the Plumber. Palin had dumb-ass charm (to those stupid enough to fall for it), whereas Cain is just cold belligerent about his idiocy.
He's a battering ram of angry stupidity in your face.
Palin has charm? Where?
You're not among those stupid enough to fall for it. Ask around.
I actually sort of liked her before she opened her vile yap.
My introduction to her was her nomination acceptance speech on C-span radio, so it would have been a very short honeymoon.
No doubt he can see Ubeki-beki-stan-stan from his porch.
Hoocoodanode is the preferred nomenclature, Dude.
I can see China from my franchise, Katie.
On the bright side, domestic policy-wise, he's every bit as sharp.
There you go with your gotcha Ko-ko-beki-bek-bek-rea! There's probably a South one too, but he'll study that before he goes there.
Yes there is, but it's the North one that's our ally, you betcha also too.
Later in the interview Cain was quoted as saying "what the hell they all look alike".
"And when they ask me who is the president of Chinki-chinki-chinki-chinki-stan-stan I’m going to say you know, I don’t know."
I'm surprised he didn't say "I does not care".
Hold me, Wonkette. I'm scared.
I would give you more upfists if I could. Group hug?
Herman, it seems you once more have found yourself in Gotcha-Gotcha-Gotcha–stan, TO WIT: it's time you began arriving at these things (meaning, your conclusions) somewhat prepared.
OK I have an idea for the GOPpers – just pick a homeless man from the Bowery – he is unlikely to be any crazier than this. Or less well-informed. Man would start a war with Canada.
I wonder if the rent is too damn high guy's available?
As a matter of fact, he is running for the Republican nomination. No kidding.
It worked for them in South Carolina.
Lindsey Hambiscuits?
Alvin Greene. Only they ran him as a Democrat.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Staring a war with Canada may not be a bad idea. We could take a dive and then they would own us. Better economy. Better government. Better people. No Tea Party.
Maybe we could just cede Detroit and Buffalo to Canada, along with certain parts of Alaska.
Now I just have to learn to love back bacon, eh?
The Mouse That Roared.
But that soshulis health care that is better and cheaper than ours. Nooooooooo!!!!
I don't know, Canada pretty much kicked our ass last time we invaded them.
I'm kinda surprised Cain didn't go to his standard "gotcha question" response with "I don't know, do view China as a potential military threat to the United States?"
I do love/hate that stupid response.
Because really, our reporters should know more about world leaders and foreign affairs than the president, who has no effect on either.
Give this guy a down syndrome baby. Babblers need props to keep the grift up.
Hmmm. Thanks for the tip!

If you'd hold still and relax I'd give you the whole tamale, Gov. Goodhair.
Try some lube to get the whole tamale in there.
As they say at Texas A&M football games: "Push it back! Push it back! Waaaaay back!"
If I were him, I'd worry more about Native Americans developing secret weapons ("bows" and "arrows") and scheming to drive out the anus-flavored pizza hucksters.
I fear apes will learn to walk on two legs, myself.
"Peace through strength"?
Cain/Goldwater 2012
More like "peace through ignorance."
Wait… What?
or "arrogance."
We have always been at war with Eastbeki-beki-beki-stan
"Scarcity is abundance" has sorta been done already.
As has "tax cuts create jobs," but the GOP ain't letting go of that one.
"Sooo…. are you chineeeese or japaneeeese…."
"We are from Laos, we are Laotian"
"The Ocean?"

Peggy already announced she wasn't running!

As we say in the South, Eat Up With Dumbass.
Once a gook, always a gook. Jesus Christ on a crutch….does this party have anyone – and I mean anyone – who is smarter than a 3rd grader. Holy fuck!
Apparently not.
Mitt, who knows all sides to all issues and supported them at one time or another. But, like us, the right hates him, too.
yes. The other Mormon guy. But the republicans view intelligence as a sign of weakness.
I think you are setting the bar a bit too high for the current crop of GOP candidates.
Goddamn it, get your slams straight. Gooks or slopes are Korean. Chinks for Chinese. Nips or slant eyes for Japanese. Charlie or Cong for Vietnamese. Flips for Filipinos.
What about Hmong, What about Thai, What about Burmese? Although I am pretty sure, any and all of these are the same to the GOP
I figured I could group them all together into one Cainsian mass.
OT – Anti-Druge magenta lights flashing
Oh noze!!!1!! Executives from Glenn the Huckster Beck's Goldline scam have been, gasp, charged with fraud.
Pfft. According to the lamestream media, that is.
Wow, I don't know which was more of a reward for clicking your link. The "think like a Jew" quote or the $80 intimate massager ad.
Cain's still upset at China over their attack on Pearl Harbor.
That was the Germans. And it ain't over now. Who's with me?
The republicans have time for one last futile and stupid gesture. And Cain's just the one to do it.
My daughter's Chinese middle-school friend was recently told to: "Go back to Tokyo, China girl!"
The stupid. Starts early. Runs deep.
Oh Herman, they aren't "gotcha questions" just because they gotcha.
Hey Barb, how are you doing? Don't you have some medical stuff going on?
They are going to ask gotcha questions like "Hu is the leader of chinky-chanky-china-town?" and I'll say "I don't know! Do you know?"
Hu's on first.
"I plan to get away from making cutting our defense a priority"
To get away from making cutting our "defense" a priority, it would have to actually be a priority in the first place, instead of being the exact opposite of what is happening as our military budget keeps increasing even though the cold war's been over for 22 years now and there are no credible threats whatsoever to the security of the US.
SEE!!!! It's working!!!
He’s like the Sarah Palin of black male Republicans. All 3 of them.
One of those settlements was with Glenn Rice?!
Shhhhh, don't say "blackmale" around the Rethugs, especially the closeted ghey ones!
"Why Does Herman Cain Think China Is North Korea?"
"Cuz he is as stoopid as toofpaste?
Darlie toofpaste?
Herman Cain: once again in deep dish.
I'm starting to think tha Herman may not be qualified for the Presindency. Not morally, mentally, physically or intelectually…
Good thing he's not really going to be running by the time the primaries begin.
It's a damned shame also. I was looking forward to watching Republicans' heads explode when they were forced to vote for a negro.
They've been telling us for years now that their irrational, pathological hatred for our president is "not racist." So I say put up or shut up, teafreaks. Vote for the pizza man, and show us how enlightened y'all really are.
(FYI – I do not believe that all hatred of the president is racially-motivated. But all types of irrational, pathological hatred and intolerace are indefensible, no matter the "cause.")
This whole thing has just been one long retard fest, hasn't it.
That comparison is libelous to retards everywhere.
Bachman, crazy retard.
Perry, redneck retard.
Cain, retarded retard.
Ron Paul, Retardlutionary.
Romney, Mormon.
Yup, no exceptions, 100% retards.
But such fun! Please, more Santorum, Trump, and Grifter Queen!
We are all now dumber for having seen it.
The rest of the world cannot line up their surveyor marks quickly enough to target us with their derision, their eyes are so full of tears from weeping with laughter.
I know. It's sooo embarrassing.
Almost daily he has another chink in his armor.
That's racist….Me likey.
Not as dangerous as a Nip in the air.
You sneaky bastard. You think you can get away with that. Just be careful the next time you have a Coke that it doesn't have the special pee pee flavor.
Ann Coulter reacted by saying "Our halfwits are better than their halfwits."
You said the "C" word.
Ann Coulter's negroes are all like Chappelle's black KKK leader.
Actually, I think the GNoP's Black folks are like the Sheriff in Blazing Saddles. Holding themselves hostage with their own guns to their own heads.
Both of 'em.
She actually said: "Our blacks are so much better than their blacks." I didn't know the GOP owned any blacks. OH WAIT. Yes I did.
thing is, we don't run the half-wits. we just let them babble on the teevees.
Don't worry, he'll pick up the fopo experience OTJ.
Word is they're also considering developing a space rocket program. Before this decade is out, Herman Cain will have a foreign policy idea and return it safely to Earth.
Let's hope he never finds out about Ubecki-becki-becki-stan-stan developing WMDs.
Herman Cain is better than shit on buttered toast with sprinkles on top?
Unfortunately, this won't matter one whit to the fucking nutcases currently calling themselves the GOP. None of this shit matters to them, as long as it's an (R).
(r).
Never go Full Retard.
Looking at the question again, he probably should have just stuck to "Yes" or "No" and left it at that. He's like the knight in "Holy Grail" who was hurled into the chasm when he incorrectly answered the question "what is your favorite color?" — a one-man carnival of self-sabotage.
WHAT…. is your favorite pizza topping?
All of them, Cutie, er, Katie!
Hell, that ain't nothing, yesterday he was saying Iran has stationed its navy vessels off our coasts, and therefore, we should station our missile cruisers off the coasts of Iran.
In the Caspian Sea?
Right now, the only carrier China has is this one.

Oh, that eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil librul PBS with its goddamn tricky "gotcha" foreign policy questions trying to keep the Black Man down! When will this long national witch hunt finally be over?

Last one can also be "Look at these!" and hold out a can of Coke with a pube, or porn, but must be said to an underling.
"This time, the joke's on the Chinese. I put pee-pee in their Coke!"
I thought I read somewhere (pre-internet) that Coca-Cola found out when they started marketing in China that their name in phonetic Chinese means "bite the wax tadpole." I don't know if it's true, and I'm afraid to google "bite the wax tadpole" on my government computer, but it's a cool story.
I must say I prefer this for the last 2 lines:
Preacher (steeple hands like you're praying, apt for Hermie)
Teacher ( pull out shirt into 2 points to simulate breasts)
I'm beginning to believe Herman is not serious about running and he's in this just to make Perry look good.
I'm glad the news media are giving him a pass, because he makes the whole Republican party look crazy. Last I heard, his abortion policy is still "The government has no business making abortion decisions, it's for families to decide, and furthermore the government should make abortion illegal, also such as." And it's not like he switches back and forth from one day to the next. He says all of that at the same time in the same sentence. And yet I keep reading that he has flip-flopped on abortion, not that his position shows he has the intellectual capacity of a goldfish.
"and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have."
Dude, wake the fuck up. Almost all of their aircraft carriers are second-hand purchases from the Soviet Union, and they are being used as fucking amusement park attractions!
Maybe they're planning on invading Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags?
Maybe they're planning on invading Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags?

Herman Cain and all of 'em, Katie depict fully the problem with our country, and it is this: The Founding Fathers never foresaw this level of idiocy in American political life. And, we've always been at war with Eurasia.
All I'm worried about is if Russia gets nukes. That would be scary.
I wouldn't worry. Chairman Khrushchev is turning out to be a reasonable guy.
When did they replace that Nicholas guy?
At least they haven't heard about blue jeans and rock and roll, because they'd probably want some of that, too!!!
Holy shit, baconz, I no longer agree with your avatar name!!!!! I thought we were in it together forever!

So China is going to nuke the country that buys 50%+ of Chinese exports?
Cain's business acumen is razor-sharp, indeed.
"Cain's business acumen is razor-sharp, indeed."
Indeed!
Americans would run out to Walmart to replace the Chinese crap that melted in the nuclear blast….
Cain also added that he refused to sign any more trade agreements with Vietnam until it stopped shipping weapons to the south using the Ho Chi Minh trail.

What he meant to say:
"Judy, you shouldn't worry your pretty little head about big bad China. That's what your husband's for."
What? It's a compliment. You broads need to lighten up.
Hey, baby, why the long face?
Not sure he's that subtle. I peg him as more of a "show me yer tits!" kinda guy.
"In nothin' but heels, you 'bout as tall as my wife!"
Odd, but true!
Herman's pick up line, " I 've got a chinese nuclear missile in my pocket, baby".
"Fine. I'll have my attorney write another settlement check."
He didn't add the usual "I don't have the facts to back this up, but…."?!
Because we arr rook arike! (Being of the Korean variety or to you racist wingnutty types, a Ching Chong, I can make this joke!)
Stupid Cain! Another nail in the coffin of the idea that getting an MBA means the person is edumakated.
Korean?! What are you, a spy?! Here to steal the secrets of our Coca-Cola and KFC?
No, the secrets of Starcraft and Xbox360 First Person Shooters.
Mission Accomplished.
"Korean variety"? There was a store of the Korean variety variety just around the corner from me when I lived at Bloor and Bathurst. Nice people.
Bloor and Bathurst!? What a happenin' locale!
(We lived at Pape and Danforth. Pretty sedate, except when there was a Greek football victory.)
Ah ha, can you pronounce the name of the shampoo which cleans so well, but is impossible to say? Thats right, Prell!
Dude should think of the burgeoning Chinese market for shitty pizza. I mean, look how conducting foreign policy to the advantage of his former employer worked out for Dick Cheney.
They do love them some KFC, but the lactose intolerance may make pizza a hard sell.
Cain later amended his statement:
I know they have nuclear weapons. I meant we can't let them get them again.
Let's see, Herman's 9-9-9 plan was devised by a stockbroker in Cleveland (whom Hermie characterized as an "economist."). So his foreign policy will be developed by what…a clerk in a Chinese laundry? A singer at one of those Italian restaurants where the waiters bellow opera?
I suspect it's someone even dumber and more ignorant than one can even imagine.
My guess: Dougie Feith.
Now I'm frightened. But remember: Herman doesn't know who the Neocons are/were.
And his science policy will be developed by someone from the Creation Museum, and his health care policy will be developed by someone who's really, really good at Operation…
Like a certain doctor?
Why, I'm honored, but I lost my medical degree… in a volcano.
I'm rather fond of the 10th Doctor, myself. Can't quite get behind this 11th guy.
Mebbe Dr. Marcus can.
Well, for his south-of-the-border foreign policy advisory team, he has hired a group of Mariachi players from La Fogata, a local Mexican eatery here in San Antonio with excellent, award-winning margaritas.
Is it on the River Walk?
Negative. Closer to the Medical Center on the Northwest side. We keep the good shit hidden from the tourists, or it would be even more crowded. http://www.lafogata.com/

Next month many psychotropic medicines are due to come out as generic and much cheaper. When that happens Herman Cain's poll rating will plummet.
About time. Now we'll need 50 crop duster planes filled with thorazine before the New Hampshire primary.
"…we already have superiority in terms of our military capability, and I plan to get away from making cutting our defense a priority and make investing in our military capability a priority, going back to my statement: peace through strength and clarity."
Wow… you make it sound so… um… clear?
Did he hire Lou Sarah as his chief foreign policy advisor?
The thinking at this level is "moar military, moar better", although I'm not sure he fully appreciates the entendre.
Yes, by all means, let's make this foreign affairs ignorant fuckbrain Leader of the Free World. Good work, Republicans! Ignorance is bliss, and you're all happy as fucking clams.
Did Judy Woodruff ask a damn follow-up question? Or would that be impolite?
In other Man-Cane news, one of Herm's accusers reportedly got a year's salary for whatever he did. Musta been a doozy! And apparently one of these incidents happened when the pious Man of God was out drinking and partying like an NRA head is supposed to.

The woman probably got a low annual salary because, well, she's a woman. Now the right wing nutz can whine "Hey – how big a deal could it have been? She only got 35 G's."

Republican Preznintial candidates drinking too much? That's a new one!
WAR IS PEACE
Cain later updated his position by stating, "It's already too late to stop China. At this point, even my underwear has a nuclear weapon. Pow!"
If Cain were smart, he'd use his ignorance to beat the sexual harassment rap. "Well, yes, of course I forgot about the massive payoffs we had to make to all those women. I don't even remember what happened on Tuesday, so how can you expect me to remember anything from ten years ago?"
Worked for the Bushies whenever it came time to testify before Congress.
This is actually the appropriate Chi-chi- ching-ching-cha-cha-cha response -….don't let China know that we know what they're up to, Katie (and also, Blackwater Cheneygroup contributions please)…patented pizza*…(not to be confused with facts) moving along, folks…
But, anyway: NEWT12!!!!…
And to think that he's not only a candidate for the GOP nomination, but the current front runner for it. (I guess Mitt being part of the Magic Underwear Cult really is that big of a deal to the GOP's Das Base.)
Less snarky: I think they're pulling a Palin, but with race instead of gender — they really think black folks will magically vote for, as Man Coulter recently screeched, "their black guy," rather than the other group's black guy.
In other words, 'Our blacks are house blacks, yours are field blacks.'
That's okay, Rush did exactly the same thing a few years ago– he went off on a 4-minute diatribe as to how the Chinese were too dumb to come up with The Bomb, ha-ha, they're too dumb, on and on for 4 minutes. Never mind that it was front-page news when it happened first, in 1964.
Herman in just following in Rush's large shadow. What a bunch of morans.
"make investing in our military capability a priority"
And how does he propose to pay for this? Bankroll it with his personal fortune?
Just move it off-budget like Bush did with Iraq. Because then it's, like, free.
January 2013 the budget deficit magically ceases to be a major concern of the American people.
Cheney: "Ronald Reagan taught us, deficits don't matter."
Unless a Democrat is president. Then we all scream and piss down our leg.
Dude's a Mower, not a Knower.
Monday at the National Press Club, GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain said he would approach U.S. foreign policy the same way he did making pizzas when he took over as CEO of Godfather’s Pizza in the 1980s.
Cain compared his initial ignorance about pizza to his present ignorance about U.S. foreign policy as he plans to become Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. armed forces.
If elected, Herman is going to tap Shaquile O'Neal as his ambassador to China.
The next GOP debate should be hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, but keep those elitist smartass 5th graders home.
It's gonna be a hoot when he selects a banjo as his VP.
You can't expect much nuance from a guy who made his name at a pizza joint built on exploiting a stereotype of Italian-Americans. I suppose if Mitt Romney had skipped Bain Capital to run "Aunt Jemima's Pancake House", we'd expect his flip-flops. Or if Newt had founded "Uncle Tom's Cabins" motel chain, his wanderlust would be expected.
This guys is so busy thinking about pizza and pussy that he can string together a coherent sentence is amazing. Oh nevermind.
"See, I watched The Sand Pebbles the other night on TCM, and…."
Now I picture Cain sitting on the ground in an empty compound on election night, screaming, "What happened? I was home. What the hell happened?!"
If Hermie's "The Next Kissinger," is it all right to wonder who's Kissinger now?
I can't help feeling sorry for our former Chinese ambassador, Jon Hunstman. I'm sure he just suffered an aneurism.
Those are taxable under Nein! Nein! Nein!, you know
Poor Huntsman. I honestly feel sorry for him.
Jonny boy is setting himself up to be the 2016 front-runner, so don't feel too sorry for him.
He meant microwave ovens! For his pizzas! What is it with you liebruls????
"Why Does Herman Cain Think China Is North Korea?"
Because he's an idiot and Godfather's doesn't deliver to either location?
Why Does Herman Cain Think China Is North Korea?
Cuz he's another dumb fuck GOP candidate. NEXT.
Too bad I can't comment on Shanghaist. I'd like to apologize (or bow) on behalf of the USA for our moron republiturd candidates.
Cuz, They ALL look alike.
Wait, cutting our defense is a current priority? Who knew?
Derp
At this point I have nothing to say, except ask:
How can someone with degrees in math and computer science, someone who has been in leadership positions at multiple successful corporations and the Federal Reserve, and a national lobbyist for an entire industry, be this big of a knucklehead?
I don't know about the rest, but it's obvious to me that Fed governorships do not set a very high bar.
Actually, Herm is 969 years old, he invented the printing press and calculus, wrote every known work of Shakespeare, and taught Steven Hawking everything he knows, but he really wants to be President on the Republican Party ticket, and the other stuff, except maybe for the 969 years old, automatically disqualifies him for consideration.
Ronald Reagan, actor? WHAT A PIKER!
I think I know why Cain got confused
10 minutes of Chinese pron? Long Dong Sliver.
"All of them, Judy."
Trust me, I am no defender of truck stop Pizza Mogul Herman Cain, but at least he understands that we can't defeat the chinamen unless we outgrow them. His notions to use "the booty" as a weapon of mass destruction is, frankly, brilliant.
I'm gonna go out on a limb, here. Maybe Herman Cain SHOULD be our next president. Can you imagine the fun we'd have here on Wonkette?
Can you get Wonkette over the intertubes in Sweden? Cuz, that's where I'll be living.
Of course, Dash. Hell, you didn't think I'd still live here after Herman got elected, did you???
I would be laughing, just the way I laughed for eight years with Bush: people get the government they deserve.
I'll still be living in my basement. Only the first and second floors will be sharing it with me.
Rollicking good fun until we all die in a completely preventable nuclear holocaust/biological weapons mishap/coal ash spill.
Sadly, there's one teeny tiny hitch in this cunning plan: either airburst or groundburst detonations of nuclear warheads create an electromagnetic pulse that's hell on both modem & WiFi connections.
Woodruff: "Do you consider China a future military threat to the United States?'
Mr. Cain: "Damn, you got a fine ass, girl."
Herman Cain and "think" in the same sentence is an oxymoron–or just a moron. His followers will quickly go to Wikipedia and try to change those pesky "facts."
peace through strength and clarity.
herm, i don't think there's any clarity here.
As bad as this babble about China's military capacity is, his assessment of the economy in the continuation of the interview is even worse… http://shanghaiist.com/2011/11/01/gop_presidentia...
We need to get away from getting too close to making reductions in increases in our military capabilities a priority while at the same time becoming more comfortable with the notion of pumping up our foreign policy educational experiences so that the kids in American schools can find countries on a map because in some countries they don't have maps for their kids in schools, which means that they can't find countries, even if they know where to look for them on a map, because the don't have any maps in those schools; and if I'm elected president of the United Nations, eer, States, I will make sure that…blah, blah, blah.
All you snooty, latte sipping, zucchini muffin eating, New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle solving, tree hugging, recyclables sorting, low-flow toilet flushing, organic produce buying, basic common knowledge knowing LIEbruls can just take your Chinese nukes and shove them up your ass!!!!!11!1!
When he did the interview, they DIDN'T have nukes!!!! Now they DO!!!!
NOBama feel asleep at the switch people!!!!! He's enabling his soshulist Chinamen friends to go nucular!!!!!!11
Thanks GOD East and West Germany are still split, can you imagine the global chaos if THEY were to become world powers again??
I'm pretty sure China has had nuclear capabilities for the past few 60 years and they have an aircraft carrier for "research and entertainment" purposes of course
You don't understand. You've just got to look at this with the eyes of faith.
Who was it who reported that China got nukes in 1964, huh? That's right, the liberal media! Ever since then, they have been maintaining the obvious fiction that China has nukes, because they knew that someday they could use their propaganda to make the Hermanator look bad. Herman Cain sees through their vicious lies! Herman Cain has seen the inside of their nuclear bunkers with his X-ray vision, and there's nothing there! What? Who're you going to believe? WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?
He's got the Reagan dunce part down. Now he needs to work on the amiable part.
"I don't have the facts to back this up, but …" I believe Herman Cain must have done something pretty unspeakable to that woman for the National Restaurant Association to pay her a full year's severance pay in return for her silence.
Please please please let this man win the nomination. I'm making popcorn for the debate with Bammers!
Ummm… North Korea has nuclear weapons, sold to them by our loyal ally, Pakistan. The same loyal ally that also sold nuclear weapons technology to totally safe and responsible players, Iran and Libya. For a fun eye-opener, google AQ Khan.
Chick Corea, on the other hand, still does not have a nuclear weapons program, to my knowledge.
"Why would I care about China-na-na-na-na-na-stan-stan fo'?"
Before we get too tough on 'Herb Cain', as Palin calls him, we should remember that Very Serious Thinker John McCain referred to "Czechoslovakia' on numerous occasions in 2008 when it hadn't been in existence since 1993.
And foreign policy expertise was supposed to be his strong suit.
The right wing nutz have done their level best to hang responsibility for leaking the Herman Cain sexual harassment story on "liberals." Because we're all just so dang afraid of a Black conservative.
Here's my question. If the Democrats had this story first, why would they use it during the Republican primary season? Why wouldn't they sit on it until, oh, say – just for a guess – October 2012?
Y'all should come over to New Mexico.
Or Arizona.
Or Cali.

Well I first heard about her from some guy named Ken:
"Palin is just 42 and came out of nowhere; she was mayor of a small town. Otherwise, we don’t know anything about her, but we do hope she seeks national office soon because the Capitol is filled with scary old men wandering around in their pajamas and she could really class up the joint."
See? We tried. We all really wanted to love her.
But then she… well, she turned out to be Sarah Palin.
It's all very sad.
Christ on a crutch.
