An Ode to Herman Cain, Greatest Hits Edition

Ok, so this will be a post filled only with clips, you won’t have to deal with my rambling on. Anyway, Herman Cain dropped out of the GOP Presidential nomination race today (Saturday). Naturally, I’m crushed. He was my muse. Cain inspired me and gave me the strength to keep writing. Needless to say, I’m not taking this very well. I may be hitting the bottle tonight to mask my pain. If you don’t follow this stuff as closely as I do, I figured I’d should show everyone why I loved Herman Cain so much. So, here’s a collection of his greatest hits.

Best place to start is here. Rachel Maddow thought Herman Cain was a performance art project. Basically, she figured he was punking us, that this could not be a real campaign. She put it all together. The clip is about 14 minutes, but worth it. She merges many of his clips and quotes.

Cain was a foreign policy titan (insert sarcasm) as well. Here he is forgetting which country Libya was, only 1:10:

- In the area of nuclear weapons, he didn’t seem to know that China had them, even though they nukes since the 60′s.

That gaffe, led to this funny headline from “The Onion.” It’s sad that this is the state of politics in this country. I think the saying goes, “Truth is stranger than fiction.”

“Rumors Of Extramarital Affair End Campaign Of Presidential Candidate Who Didn’t Know China Has Nuclear Weapons“

Herman Cain, singing “Imagine” with pizza-themed lyrics. This was a while back, when he was a CEO of Godfather’s Pizza.

- And, this may be the best campaign ad I’ve seen. His unsavory looking campaign Chief of Staff speaks about Cain, inexplicably blows smoke into the camera after speaking, and it’s set to the most annoying song you’ve ever heard. For the capper, it ends with Herman Cain creepily smiling at the camera.

The folks at “Funny or Die” did a spoof of Herman Cain, played by none other than Mike Tyson. Tyson even does the creepy close-up smile Cain did in the campaign ad above.

 

- And, there are so many more if you wanted. Here, he’ s saying that we can ban all Mosques (3 minutes). No word on synagogues, churches or any other religious temples, just the mosques.

 I think I’ll leave it there. If you loved and will miss Herman Cain like I will, I urge to search You Tube for other videos. They are comedy gold. And, if you’re out drinking tonight, pour a little of your first drink out for the Cain campaign. I’m a little worried for Cain. Now that he’s not traveling to campaign, how will he get out the house to cheat on his wife? Tough question.

If we’re fortunate, we’ll will see him for the next Presidential race. Don’t rule it out, you get a bunch of retreads run in the GOP, for Presidential nominations. Cain 2016!

See you next time,
