Herman Cain: “We Need A Leader, Not A Reader”
At the risk of posting two Herman Cain posts in a row, this one is simply too good to pass up:
Meanwhile in the Tweetosphere, AP reporter Steve Peoples tweeted that “Cain defended his foreign policy stumbles. Says knowing every detail isn’t important: “We need a leader, not a reader”.
Over at Talking Points Memo, they take note that Cain’s line was first uttered in The Simpsons Movie:
Ladies and gentlemen, up until this week this man was the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for President.
Can we PLEASE get him to be the GOP nominee… ROFL.
So one cannot read and lead?
We need a pitcher, not a belly-itcher!
Holy dog whistle, Batman. Yet another example of the perpetually silly Republican idea that Obama would be nothing without his teleprompter.
At least he’s now quoting better movies….

Says a lot about the Republican party, eh?
I’m reminded of Bill Hicks’ brilliant routine about reading a book while eating in a Waffle House one night in the deep south, and catching crap from the rednecks about the fact that he’s reading. That’s the Republican base.
Not in the GOP…
Now I remember why I am an no longer a republican – very catchy Cain. Now go back to studying Libya on Wickipedia.
