Herman Cain suggests Taliban are playing a role in Libyan government



Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has suggested that the Taliban are playing a role in Libya's new government, adding another foreign policy misstep to his stumbling campaign.

The week opened with Cain struggling to answer whether he supported US president Barack Obama's foreign policy in Libya. He ended it trying to blame reporters for the moment, which was captured on video and quickly spread around the internet.

Cain's critics seized on Monday's incoherent answer as the latest evidence that he is unprepared to be the party's nominee. On Friday, Cain gave his critics more grist for their increasingly substantial mill.

"Do I agree with siding with the opposition? Do I agree with saying that Gaddafi should go? Do I agree that they now have a country where you've got Taliban and al-Qaida that's going to be part of the government?" Cain asked reporters in Orlando, Florida. "Do I agree with not knowing the government was going to – which part was he asking me about? I was trying to get him to be specific and he wouldn't be specific."

5. No one--and I mean no one--can top Mike Tyson's superb "batshit crazy" interpretation of that man.

It's Oscar-worthy!

2. Isn't it interesting how none of those candidates

EVER take the blame for the stupid garbage they say, or fail to say because they forgot their talking point? It is so-called stupid questions, or a trick question, or a librul conspiracy or something.
