Humorless Politics Thread

I started a new blog tonight -

Let me know if I missed anything.

I'd be interested to see, a year from how, how many of these batshit quotes actually have traction, how many are forgotten about, and how many are ignored deliberately because it doesn't matter to his presidency so long as he "can create jobs."

I think you cut off the "Ubeki-beki-beki" quote a little too soon.  I love it that he said "You know, I don't know. Do you know?" He thinks that's such a devastating zinger, as if the hypothetical interviewer were running for president.

You also should include his totally nutty discourse on abortion, transcribed here: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/From-the-Wires/2011/1024/Herman-Cain-What-did-he-say-about-abortion. He starts off by saying he's against abortion in all circumstances, then somehow gets his wingnut talking points confused and starts going down a completely different road as if he were talking about some other issue where no big government bureaucrat should be interfering with individual choice

Whaddya know, I went from this page directly to a news item about how Cain says China is a military threat because they're "pursuing nuclear capability." China tested its first nuclear device in 1964: http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/11/herman-cain-warns-china-is-seeking-nuclear-capability.php?ref=fpb

Maybe he meant to say 'perfecting'. Gotcha media strikes again.

If elected, one of Herman Cain's first objectives will be to get the DoD to develop a nuclear bomb that can fit inside a standard pizza box.

GOP12.com: Cain: "I'm their brother from another mother!"

[JamesfromSouthEastPa]

Which is scarier/sadder? The fact that in a USA Today poll,  Rick Perry gets 44 percent of the national vote in a head to head match up against Obama?  OR that Hermain Cain gets 45 percent in the same poll?!  I think it's Rick Perry, but I could be wrong.

Also, I HOPE AND PRAY that those women are able to get out of their confidentiality agreements. Sadly, it seems the Herminators support has not gone down from the scandal.  If people could put a HUMAN FACE with the accusations, he would crumble like a freshly baked cookie.

Has anybody noticed that the scandal in question happened on 1999?  coincidence?  I think not.

I'm not going to lie. Herman Cain's campaign theme song is really starting to grow on me.

I Am America

I am America.

Where do I go to get back the IQ points I lost from watching the first 1:05 of that?

You can't spell moron without the letters P-E-R-R-Y.

Well, maybe you can, but that's besides the point.

Sometimes I feel as though the fate of the United States is in the hands of people who can't spell "moron" with or without the letters P-E-R-R-Y.

Really glad I wore my boots 2nite because I stepped in it out there. I did still name 2 agencies to eliminate. Obama has never done that!
