Secy. Clinton Mocks Herman Cain (the video)
WASHINGTON – Being glib, Herman Cain’s “Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan” comment is finally coming back to haunt him, as it should. In many polls, Cain is either in second place or leading. Considering what happened in Libya today, it matters if a person running to be commander in chief knows the world’s actors.
We can all imagine if Barack Obama had said something like this during the primaries of 2008. Hillary Clinton’s “3 a.m.” phone call ad would have come early and run often.
If Michele Bachmann had uttered such a phrase she would have been run out of the primaries. After all, we are talking about the Republican Party.
Herman Cain got a pass on it when he said it, because no one was taking him seriously. They are now, well, sort of.

It’s not really fair – he is soooo mockable.
Yep, Ron Beasley, you are so right.
I enjoyed it anyway.
I disliked her when she was 1st lady and stuck her nose into healthcare. I was impressed how she handled her husbands bj in the oval office. I was pissed when I heard a secret service agent friend tell me how poorly she treated the people assigned to them. I was mortified when I thought she would become the Dem nominee for Prez. Now I wish that she had won. I have sought professional help.
Leave Herman Cain alone. He’s got 9′s.
Having said that. Hillary is really doing a great job as Secretary of State. Best I’ve seen in decades. She certainly works hard. I’m proud of her and don’t believe all the conservative stories created to slander her over the years. She is far to smart for that crap.
Cain isn’t a hard man to mock. He is willfully ignorant and proud to say it.
999
I got a better plan.
9.99 and a free bottle of coke.
Well, Hillary Clinton definitely would have made a good President and I’m sure many despairing Democrats right now keep thinking about that, mournfully, these days. It’s not as if Clinton is anything special, much less spectacular; she has little influence on other people’s lives directly while safely tucked away running the State Department, and has never been a great role model or any kind of female messiah to match what many giddy kiddies thought of Obama in 2008 and well into 2009. But a good President she would be, or would have been. (It’s still not too late for her to run as an independent candidate or to challenge Obama in 2012.) No doubt if she replaced Obama, or even if she were merely to replace Biden after 2012, many would say (with relief) that now there’s more of an adult in charge. (Better yet would be if Clinton turned the VP job into something more powerful and active than even liberal critics thought of the job Dick Cheney did.)
