Herman Cain's Brain Fart
I'm not sure how to describe this. I've seen it described on Twitter as Herman Cain out-Rick Perrying Rick Perry, but it goes so much deeper than that.
In this interview, Herman Cain is asked a relatively simple question -- at least, to the extent that Republicans have a set of talking points on this -- about Libya and the President's handling of it. We've all heard the Luntz talking points about "leading from behind", letting Al Qaeda take over the rebellion, and so on. I could recite them in answer to a question like this without thinking too much about it. This is why Republicans win media battles. They adopt a single set of talking points and don't deviate from them.
Well, except for Herman Cain, who seems to even have trouble pulling up the right set of data points when asked the question. He hesitates, hesitates again, repeats what he thinks are the complaints about how the President handled Libya, and ultimately just tries to craft a non-answer to a simple question.
After his initial hem-haw session, he is pressed to articulate specific differences between the President's decisions on Libya and what he would do, if elected. In high-school BS essay 101 technique speak, he launches into the classic non-answer about gathering opinions and then making a decision. Oh, yes. Consensus building. That's what they call it.
Gosh, I know another candidate who said similar things, except he knew what he was talking about. I will also note that Americans -- and Republicans in particular -- are rejecting consensus politics out of hand, forcing the consensus builder of 2008 to become the class warrior of 2012. That's not entirely bad for anyone but a Republican candidate named Herman Cain who just said he would be a consensus builder, when he managed to say anything at all.
Cain is basically telling us he doesn't know shit from shinola but he will find people who do. So what is he about other than maybe messing with ladies and coming up with silly stuff like 9-9-9? He's an empty head with a mouth. Of course that also describes many of the other repub. candidates.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
"all this stuff twirling around in my head. specifically what are you asking me?"
"I would have done a better job assessing the situation"
"it would depend on what part they didn't have"
"I don't know that they were not assesed"
Okaaaaay...he would have done a better job assesing the situation even though he does not know what was assesed. I can't wait for this idiot to claim he knows how to capture OBL.
His star is fading anyhow. Time to watch Newt try and take out Mitt.
not all martyrs see divinity
Press release from his campaign says the poor widdle guy had already answered questions for 30-40 minutes on four hours sleep! Oh noz!
Obama could talk circles around this guy for 8 hours on NO sleep.
the Cock brother will tell him everything he needs to know, what to say and how to think.
The first casualty of republicanism is the truth.
Party politics are not only undemocratic, they are antidemocratic.
Personally, I refer to it as bullshit building, but then that could just be me.
me-oww!
The consensus is that Cain is ignorant
You R Full of shit!
Just be honest and say that you do not know what the fuck you would have done. If you would have dicked around gathering the "FACTS", Kaddafi would have wipe out those involved in the uprising because they were unarmed, throwing sticks and stone against Kaddafi’s Army of Fighter planes and tanks. Our esteemed president made the decisions based upon the info he had at the time. Why didn’t you man up and give him credit for a job well done.
And after that session did you run out and touch another woman inappropriately?
Cain, to put it plainly, is a stupid fucking idiot. He, like Palin, does have an ability at self-promotion. Otherwise he's an empty suit.
It would be nice if the media would earn their money and start treating this man like the imbecile that he so obviously is instead of pretending that he deserves any respect as a serious presidential candidate.
The media has been pretending republican deserve any respect for a while now. But now the media is in a bind.
The media is republican - they are not nice people - they are a corporation - profit from war - they media made the present day republican - the media profits from political chaos, and they even profit during economic collapse. The same corporations that control the media control the republicans, so they have to make the republicans seem viable. Thankfully this has now become virtually impossible. They keep trying though, and it is painful to watch. Maybe soon the media will realize the jig is up.

the media knows that none of these people qualify. Even Matthews will have to recognize that.
I couldn't finish watching that video. It is so painful. Much more painful to watch than him singing a pizza song to the tune of "imagine".
Its sounds like the responses I would give in high school when i didn't read the chapter / short story.
Bottom line - the guy doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. Just like the rest of them. It is the old saying, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit." Only problem with Cain is he baffled himself. Same with Perry. Bachmann? Don't get me started on that fuckin' loon.
Cut him some slack will ya? ;)

There's only one explanation, for the whole damn situation. We are in the wrong quantum time line. Somewhere back in the 80s we branched off into the wrong history of events, parting from the truthful, rational America time line, and into this hell like reality. There is a truthful, just, and rational America in another reality, where 99% of the American people are comfortable, represented, and have a hopeful future.
Somewhere in the multi-verse there exists an America where there is peace between nations, and America is not run by a secret, hidden government of the military industrial complex, where science excels and medical illnesses are cured, not covered up with harsh pharmaceuticals, where monopolies are not allowed and every small business has a chance, where justice is not corrupted, where politicians speak for the people and are not just puppets for the corporate ruling class.
We must get back to that America, back onto the quantum time line that we belong on.

I think you're on to something!
Sucks to be us though...
Sadly, this was the most intelligent thing he has said since getting into the race.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
This is clearly "gotcha journalism" - the kind that was practiced on Palin. C'mon, you can't expect these people to have all (any) of the answers!!
But seriously, I can't imagine any of these candidates as CIC. I wouldn't trust them with a loaded pea-shooter.
Mirror mirror on the wall...
No. That's not it.

Hmmm... nope.
Go ahead. Make my day.
Yeh., yeh... That's it.
Oh. wait...

If only the question had been about Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan-stan...then he would have been ALL OVER the answer.
I don't know what I think about Obama's position on Libya,.... DO YOU?!
Let's make we all have this right... Herm Cain IS a brain fart.
See any of the assessments, I didn't see any of the women, let alone get to take them out to "dinner" how can I tell you what I would have done....I might have done anything..........I probably would have, but without intelligence.
The first casualty of republicanism is the truth.
Party politics are not only undemocratic, they are antidemocratic.
yes, i know, you thought that was michelle bachmann. so did we all, until rep. bachmann streamed totally off the rails, making palin seem nearly rational, by comparison. a low bar i grant you, but we are talking the tea party.
the difference between cain and palin is that palin was serious, whereas cain is simply in it for whatever cash he can get from the rubes. at some point soon, probably after the first couple of primaries, cain will bow out, and use his new status as a "former republican presidential candidate" to make even more money. his departure from the field will result in a day of mourning for stand-up comics everywhere, but we'll all have to just reach deep within ourselves, and pull out the will to carry on.
He doesn't have a fucking clue!!!
I work with some devout muslims here in the UK and a few weeks ago we got into an arguement where they stated that they thought that Obama would lose the election next year which l disagreed with. I asked them if they had seen the motley crew that made up the republican field for president. None of them had. I gave them a brief synopsis on Bachmann, Perry, Santorum (making sure l mentioned his google problem), Cain, Gingrich and Romney urging them to watch.
After Perry's meltdown one of them came up to me and apologised!!! He said that he had never seen such a scary and very poor group before. I did tell him that sadly 30% of the voters will still vote for one of them.
FAIL.
a tinfoil hat and a kazoo before the interview. Tell them to blow on the kazoo when they can't think of what feels like a good answer. Tell them the reflections of the flames from the gas log in the tin foil hat will mesmerize the viewers and they won't notice a thing. Give them no respect. They deserve none.
To say the man is out of his element is profoundly understating the situation...........
Please stick to groping, tomming, forced blowjobs, and making vomitous pizzas.
Oh, and lying like an eleven year old and then forgetting everything.
Finally
Some one said it, it was a BRAIN FART, that's what happened to Perry, he had a brain freeze and in the middle of the Freeze, Perry had a Brain Fart and his brain disconnected to his mouth, for moment and when, tried and tried to find the right words, all he could say was Oops!, when he meant to say, excuse me, I let a smelly!
Herman, just got lock up in his Brain Fart, straight up and brown cloud of notorious gas is still in his head, with his noxious thinking.
Thank you for calling it what it was, a huge Brain Fart.

After Herb's embarrassing Uz-beki-beki-bek--stan-stan brain fart, he claimed that he was being "schooled" in foreign affairs. His tutor was going to give him articles and memos everyday and the idiot was to study for an hour every day. Is this what the dumbshit has learned? Either Herb is too stupid to learn or his tutor is punking him.
Herb. Hahahahaha! Thanks Sheri Pallin.

Dear Hymen "Pimp Daddy" Cain,
Buh byyyye.
See ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya.
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
I'm sure it was just an oversight that you didn't get the Intelligence report on the revolutionaries.... I'm sure the president won't let THAT happen again!.....
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Is it the 21st century yet?
Are all the GOP candidates trying out do one another in sheer stupidity?
That was painful to watch...Cain is dumber than dog shit.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds--Bob Marley
. . . dumber than Palin, more arrogant than Gingrich, and just as crazy as Bachmann. And the GOP doesn't like Romney?
The GOP depends on dumb, arrogant, and crazy. Without dumb, arrogant, and crazy they would be toast. They'd vanish in a puff of foul green smoke. Their base identifies with dumb, arrogant, and crazy, so the puppets they offer up have to be dumb, arrogant, and crazy too.
The GOP has nothing to offer the American people.

Fox News might likely respond to this painful interview with, "They were too hard on Herman Cain. Why ask such difficult questions? He's the Presidential hopeful for crying out loud! The Liberal mainstream media is on a witchhunt and do not want a Conservative, let alone a Black Conservative, to become President."
And I pre-emptively say this: The President of the United States has the position of Commander In-Chief of the entire United States Army. He has the authority, beyond all reason and foresight, to declare the launch of at least one nuclear missile at a target. Yes, it can be challenged in some cases, such as whether or not the situation calls for it, but since the President has the most power in fashion, it's often his/her decision that rolls through.
High standards must be enforced at all times for those who currently hold such a position, or for those who seek that position. Anal Leakage (Rick Santorum), John Bolton, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Falin, and god knows how many other idiotic war mongers who desire or did desire this position have shown that they are completely unfit to have the power to press the big red button.
And any President who makes such a choice should be reprimanded of his powers immediately, or in extreme cases, killed. I may sound extreme, but a nuclear strike is the last thing this world needs at any time, and if a batshit insane President thinks it's a good idea to do this, he must be removed of his power at any cost.
...two different ways of being incredibly stupid. Perry's head is empty. The guy is dumb as a rock and there's nothing going on upstairs.
Cain's head isn't empty. It's full to overflowing -- of absolute nonsense. At first when asked a question, Cain would open wide and spew a steady stream of moronic drivel. But the poor guy has been burned. He realizes now that his stream on nonsense-sciousness doesn't work. So, now he pauses, ruminates, sifts through all the useless crap filling his head and then in a deliberate fashion lets loose with a bunch of meaningless hooey.
Two idiots, but with very different styles. Who's dumber? When you're that dumb it doesn't matter.
I think the problem with Cain and Perry is that they quickly run out of things to say. Palin would do the same thing in 2008, but she would just keep talking and dig herself deeper. Running for President takes a lot of stamina. These people get exhausted and get brain farts. They're not up to the job of running for President let alone running the country.
He is just practiced in Business Speak, or BS. You spit out a long sentence that says nothing.
He talks for 5 minute stretches and says nothing, like any good boss does. Talk and talk and talk and in the end you say nothing. That way no one can come back and blame you for the bad decision...
I was impressed that he said Obama wasn't deliberate enough, that he would take even longer to come u with an answer :) The GOP/Righties have been saying that Obama runs the country like it is a committee, taking too long to come up with an answr, and here their hero, their knight in shining armour says Obama is too rash :)
why are the Koch bros wasting money on this idiot?
What are they doing while the press keeps showing us the smoke screen.
This is not what I would call a brain fart. A brain fart is when you temporarily space out. Normally you are in command of facts and reason, but for whatever reason your brain goes wacko for a moment. Brain farts happen to all of us.
This video shows the real Herman Cain, not a temporary lapse.
