1. What a moran.

[FrenchieCat]

2. I'm tired of the distraction known as Cain.

It's like with him running, there doesn't seem to be any time for serious discussions.

I'd like for the media to concentrate on what the Republicans in Congress are doing....
cause it ain't good.

14. Indeed. One of the problems with Mr. Not Ready For Prime Time

is that he seems incapable of having a serious discussion on anything. He strikes me as a particularly sad and inept caricature of a political aspirant. Its obvious that he would have carried water for the loathsome Koch brothers if he had achieved the presidency and that would have been a nightmare. I am also really put off by his claim that the women that he sexually harrassed were all liars. Yeah, right. Hey, Hermie, is that why at least one of them was given a financial settlement? What a hypocrite and weasel he is. And don't forget that creepy smile on his campaign ad. Aside from Huntsman, who doesn't have a chance at the nomination, we are witness to a veritable rogues gallery of candidates from the Rethugs. If nothing else, they demonstrate how utterly bankrupt their party is for any policies that will help the people that they supposedly represent. The Rethugs have revealed themselves as concerned about no one in this country but the 1%. We ignore that basic fact at our peril.

16. I hit the wall with him too right after Penn State broke.

Someone said it was distracting from the sexual assault news and I said good. He's sucked up enough air :thumbsup:

3. He should go back to quoting Pokeman when he made more sense

[Scuba]

4. None - NONE - of the Republican candidates can stand up to the scrutiny. They're all either...

dumb or dirty. Or both.

5. Oh Those "Gotcha" questions

There is a major civil war going on in Libya and their dictator was recently killed. But Herman Cain can't think fast enough to have a cogent response to a question about Libya. I sure don't want his finger on the nuke buttons.

Maybe they should ask him what he reads. It sure isn't any newspaper or policy magazine that has stories or essays about current foriegn policy.

Likable but dumb is not a qualification for president.

[Politicalboi]

6. Weren't you listening to him earlier in the week?

"We need a leader, not a reader". Why should the President of the United States have to read? It's not like he has to read what he is signing or anything. Bush got away with it, why not Cain.

[1620rock]

7. ...gag

[Politicalboi]

8. LOL! I hope you know I am being

Sarcastic. But it does make you wonder what happened to this country when Presidential hopefuls are accepted being below average.

[Doc Holliday]

12. "We need a leader, not a reader".

Sounds like "Herb" watched The Simpsons Movie a few times too many.

"I'm here to lead...not to read." - President Schwarzenegger to EPA Chief

You just can't make this stuff up! :rofl:

[Tx4obama]

10. LOL, I hope someone asks him what he reads!

That would have been a great question for Letterman to have asked him!

[demtenjeep]

9. Watching koch=cain on Letterman. HE is an arrogant ass

and very full of himself.

What a turd.

11. "no, that's the other one"

15. But is that with or without

...mountains?
