Delightful New Herman Cain T-Shirt Proves He Has What It Takes To Be President

by Wonkette Jr.  

Hahahah wait whut? So Herman Cain is KENYAN?A frightened Wonkette operative sends this picture. Wha-a-a-a-t is this supposed to mean, exactly? We are just going to post it and go away and never think about it again — not the shirt, not the person wearing it, not anything. We are just going to go smoke some marijuana, actually. It’s the only thing that seems sane right now.

Bernie Casey has an MFA and is chair of the Trustees of SCAD- Another educated black man- dangerous!

Herring_Burnit November 19, 2011 at 12:41 am

Can you tell me why educated black WOMEN are less threatening than educated black men, tho?

ChessieNefercat November 22, 2011 at 9:48 am

NASCAR fans would disagree. The presence of Jill Biden was not enough to cancel out the uppityness of the First lady of the United States!

(Just realized the NASCAR debacle might not have happened at the time this post was written. But oh, they let the very last cat out of the bag when they actually used "uppity" in connection with Michelle Obama, highly educated black woman and FLOTUS.)

PalinzADummy November 22, 2011 at 1:06 pm

You're kidding. They actually SAID that? Uppity? Fuck me blind.

flamingpdog November 18, 2011 at 6:41 pm

Um, at 0:02, we're seeing one more boob than we see on the t-shirt. Thanx for the NSFW warning.

P.S. Not upset – it's 4:40 on Friday afternoon, and I'm the only one at work!

Generally, YouTube does not allow such filth.

Except when there's obvious artistic merit, as in this case.

I'm doing a re-elect the President event tomorrow. Wondering if there will be any GOP supporters around here- Silver Spring,MD. Not that we don't have some Republicans(not elected ones, of course) but the ones I know don't talk about it publicly and wouldn't vote for the current crop of nuts and morons.

DrunkIrishman November 18, 2011 at 5:41 pm

And Dear Lord, look at that arm. It's like the Blob or some scary shit.

weejee November 18, 2011 at 5:46 pm

I'm guessing that is not Ann Coulter.

True. Looks like a fat, white Republican arm.

2) Herman Cain is just comedy relief provided by our corporate masters so that you will all forget 1).

From the vertical stripes that should be horizontal, to the bar sinister (most "not-this" signs use a bar dexter) to the horrible result in the middle and the appropriation of a slogan having positive connotations into one representing crass corruption and ignorance, this design is well nigh perfect — it's an extra-large order of stupid topped with transparent pandering, ignorance by-products, canned limp rhetoric and extra lack of attention to detail. Let it serve as a warning to us all.

Fukui_sanYesOta November 18, 2011 at 6:14 pm

Well, shit. I was about to point you to UK road signs which I thought used a bar sinister, and what do you know? I'm totally wrong.

Now I'm wondering if a bar dexter is more off-putting because it's not the natural way for a right-hander to cross something out and thus has some kind of more affirming psychological impact.

ShaveTheWhales November 18, 2011 at 6:18 pm

Nah, it's because of Windows.

Fox Cites Non-Existent Part Of The Constitution To Hype Argument For Kagan Recusal

Legal ethicists have thrown cold water on the argument that Kagan needs to recuse herself over that email. But Fox seems to have an argument that the legal ethicists haven't thought of: Fox national correspondent Steve Centanni said Kagan's recusal may be required by "Article 28 of the Constitution." …Three glaring problems with this argument: The Constitution has no Article 28, has no Section 144, and does not contain the language quoted.

Oh, Fox….

Geminisunmars November 18, 2011 at 7:07 pm

Well, if it doesn't – it should have.

finallyhappy November 18, 2011 at 7:14 pm

Non -existent "facts" are the basis of Fox reporting.

Not a currently resident cheesehead, but United Wisky is claiming to have gotten 50,000 signatures in the first 48 hours. (they have 60 days to get 500,000-some). Sounds like a decent start.

BTW, I see that Mr. Mattress-Fallin is back in business with the state.

What this shirt is saying is that "Herman Cain" is an elaborate hoax that Obama has been perpetrating on the Republican party.

After all, has anyone ever seen Obama and "Cain" on stage at the same time? More to the point, would anyone actually want to?

I didn't even know they were on tour.

Come here a minute November 18, 2011 at 9:22 pm

Now it looks like Herman needs to study up on the Tali-tali-tali-bon-bon. Maybe his next tee shirt can have Mullah Omar 'morphing' into Muammar Gaddafi, or something.

i know, but in this instance, i don't care if Herman Cain is a ginormous sex-creep douche bag: i want that fucking shirt.

Herring_Burnit November 19, 2011 at 2:12 am

I don't remember if that's what they were called, but we certainly had a great many books of riddles and rhymes and silly jokes for children.

The only one I actually *remember* was Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes, which contained such gems as:

Billy, in one of his nice new sashes
Fell in the fire and was burned to ashes
Now, although the room grows chilly
I haven't the heart to poke poor Billy

Judging by that arm on the left, the shirt-wearer has had his share of Godfather's pizzas. Yeesh!

JustPixelz November 19, 2011 at 10:12 am

I guess we're supposed to view this from left to right. (Left to right, I get it!) But perhaps it is really showing that Cain and Obama used to be the dude in the middle, then were split into Good and Evil by a transporter malfunction.

Or maybe the five black men on the shirt represent someone's basketball Dream Team.

The most likely explanation is that by 2012 Obama will look like Cain — fatter, less hair and a moustache for that Saddam Hussein look that's about to sweep the nation.

ChessieNefercat November 22, 2011 at 1:37 pm

Rushbo in his tirade against the First lady did in fact use the "uppity" word:
"…They know that in their hearts the Obamas don’t like them. We’ve taken notice of this, as has, by the way, Chris Matthews. And a lot of congressional Democrats are also fully aware that the Obamas just don’t like a lot of people, and they don’t like hanging around a lot of people. I’ll tell you something else. We don’t like paying millions of dollars for Mrs. Obama’s vacations. The NASCAR crowd doesn’t quite understand why when the husband and the wife are going to the same place, the first lady has to take her own Boeing 757 with family and kids and hangers-on four hours earlier than her husband, who will be on his 747. NASCAR people understand that’s a little bit of a waste. They understand it’s a little bit of uppity-ism… "
