At his unpopulated keynote that I first told you about yesterday, Herman Cain just endorsed “The People” for President of the United States.
You cannot make this shit up. It’s clearly an attempt to position Cain as a motivational speaker for the teabagger set, but it just makes him into even more of a joke. If you asked me yesterday if it was possible for Cain to make a bigger ass of himself, I would have said no. But he’s just proven that there are no limits to how ridiculous Herman Cain can become. Enjoy this moment; it’s a perfect little symbol for the 2012 presidential campaign.
UPDATE: Here’s a report. Christ, this man is a moron.
Huzzah! Not only am I Time’s person of the year from a few years back (along with everybody else, admittedly), I now have the backing of Herman Cain to seek the US presidency (along with everybody else, admittedly).
Most Americans would be terrible as president. Myself included.
The People
That’s like one of those years when Time Magazine can’t decide who to make Man of the Year. So it’s The Protestor or the PC.
And so on.
I’d be a great president of the USA. I’d shut it down and return the money to the shareholders.
In an awkward moment, “The People” acknowledged the endorsement by asking Herman Cain to take his hand off their collective thigh.
“I am not going to die not having done something to take our people back,” Cain said, acknowledging that “there are skeptics, just like there were skeptics when I made the decision to run for president.”
And boy, were those skeptics ever proved wrong!
@4 The worst part of this monumentally idiotic idea (and there are many parts) is that I believe you believe that doing this would make you a great president.
Channeling my inner LBJ –
“I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of Herman Cain for another term as your President.”
It’s Cain’s attempt to channel Newt Gingrich and ask for an “open” presidency.
