Herman Cain doesn't seem bothered by his now infamous pregnant pause on Libya.
"I'm not supposed to know anything about foreign policy. Just thought I'd throw that out," he recently said on the campaign trail, according to Politico. "I want to talk to commanders on the ground. Because you run for president (people say) you need to have the answer. No, you don't! No, you don't! That's not good decision-making." Thanks for clearing that up.
Earlier in the week, Cain's spokesman played down the gaffe, saying "it just took him a while to gain his bearings" after burning the midnight oil on the campaign trail.
In the video, Cain took his precious time answering a pretty basic question on Libya. He stalled for more time by saying, "I got all this stuff twirling around in my head."
The cool kids at Buzzfeed tried to visualize those twirly spinny things and came up with this hilarious video involving pizza guys tossing dough and cute kittens.

Remember the good ole days when candidates who doubled as imbecilic morons who can't put a subject and verb together to make a cogent sentence would exit stage left when their 15 minutes of fame was over. Well those day are long gone for the Republican party. Sigh.......Don't mind me, I just waxing nostalgic here.
Cain will end up being another Sarah Palin. We'll never hear the end of him.
I know Fox Snooze already has a contract waiting for him when he looses.
Citizen Cain misses the point. We're asking if he'd make the same decisions. We're asking about his thoughts on how well understands what took place and the decisions that were made. Was it handled correctly? What would he have done differently? He has an opinion about other issues but on foreign policy he's lost. And yes, our president is supposed to be the smartest man in the room when it comes to FN policy. Not an idiot to be told lies and what to do. We've already done that with Bush Jr and we're NOT going back!
"'twirling' in Cain's head"
Considering that there is a whole LOT of empty space between Hermy's ears, I'd say there's a whole LOT of air just twirling around going on ...
