The Artist Formally Known As Herman Cain

Of you haven't seen this....what an amazing video from last night's Rachel Maddow show.

Soooo... good!

(You may have to go thru a dreadful Exxon/Mobil 30 second ad. Just turn the sound down during it, fluff your pillows, get a drink, and get comfy for the show to come!)


It's about the much too "perfect" gaffes of the Herman Cain campaign and how it is obvious now that he is a satirical candidate, a work of brilliant performance art, that will not go away. The Media has fallen for it as well as Repugs.... and Dems. It shows how broken the system is and how the GOP has lost its friggin' mind and is now unqualified to be a serious political party.

1. From "Pokemon 2000" no less...

And yes I did watch it when I was younger.

3. I just can't believe nobody used The Google to find out who that "poet" was

I didn't watch the debate so I never heard the quote--plus I don't care all that much :) --but I'm surprised that not one reporter bothered.

He must have been in disbelief that he'd quoted a "poet" as popular as Pokemon and not gotten busted for it.

4. And that poet is... Donna Summer!

2. There's another thread on this segment too...

Obviously posted after it aired last night. (I always watch Rachel on the MSNBC site the next morning.... so I'm late)

Surely it will be up on YouTube later.

5. Brilliant ....

I was in awe as I watched that last night. Rachel is a genius. It summed up so much of the conservative movement. Government is just a big joke to them. The rank and file suckers will keep throwing money no matter what these guys do.

7. Yes, it was. Her absolute best

Put together so well, piece by piece. And I started having an "ah-ha" moment. That was some great journalism.
