Sarah Palin calls 'Herm Cain' the 'flavor of the week' ...

[one_voice]

The indefatigable Juana Summers sends over this dispatch from Sarah Palin's appearance with Greta Van Susteren, in which she took a shot at Herman Cain (whom she called "Herm" at one point) days after his Florida straw poll win:

“Take Herman Cain. He’s doing so well right now. I guess you could say, with all due respect, he’s the flavor of the week. Herman Cain is the one up there who doesn’t look like he’s part of that permanent political class. He came from a working class family. He’s had to make it on his own all these years. We respect that. He has an automatic connection with the electorate. We can all relate to him. He knows the issues and problems we face every day and he’s determined to do something about it.”

“He’s not elite. He doesn’t seem to allow us to be disenchanted with what it is that he’s proposing, because what he proposes in terms of solutions for our economy are based on time tested truths and common sense and true economic principles that will work”

“Herman Cain is a good example of a connection with the voters and why his message – good messenger – he’s resonating with the people.”

As for her own plans, she gave no indication, acknowledging that "for logistical reason, decisions do have to be made," she said. "You have to get your ducks in order."

She trotted out a line she's used before - going back, as JMart points out, at least a year to her fall appearance in Iowa - where she asked this question, "Does a title shackle a person...I do go rogue and tell it like it is."

Someone should explain to her what "flavor of the week" means... :eyes:


Edited to add she didn't call him "Herm" she called him "Herb"...how's that for gettin' them there facts straight.

1. She means he is popular right now, but he wasn't before, and he may not be

latter. That is all she is saying with that comment.

4. I think it sounds condescending...

she's a self-absorbed narcissist, and doesn't care what she sounds like to other people.

[snooper2]

16. What she really said with that comment was Chocolate

They edited out that part....

[KharmaTrain]

2. She Wants To Be "Queenmaker"...

I'll bet Grifterella watches those debates and is very happy she doesn't have to be out there to face any real scrutiny. It's far easier to hide in your little teevee studio and orchestrate who you talk to so that you can continue to get attention. She doesn't want to be President...she wants to be Donald Trump. She'd love to have each candidate kiss her little pinky to get that cherished photo op (but no endorsement...only Bible Spice is worthy). She can play "Svenghali" as if a candidate wins then she can claim she was responsible and try to shake the great unhinged down once again.

Running for President is hard work...its so much easier when you can play rushpublican teaser...

19. She said on Fox that she was having fun bringing up topics and then watching them debate them.

Uggghh!

[Raschel]

21. And may I add that she said the debate topics were because she brought them up.

Not surprising, huh? :crazy:

[zazen]

3. according to the recent Palin bio, it was the flavor of her youth as well

[Volaris]

12. DAMN that was cold...

I mean, that's just...DAMN
(I AM smiling as I write this, however, so you made me smile this morning, good on you for that)

[geardaddy]

14. That was my first thought, too.

:spank:

[opihimoimoi]

5. She is so jealous she reeks....

Her own flavor is long gone

Tis a bit rancid recently

[Swede]

6. Pizza don't come to your house,unless you call.

But if you do,it's there in 10 minutes.

[BR_Parkway]

7. Run Sarah, run - 'Merica needs a 3rd party and you're just the person

to do it

[Drale]

8. I agree but

Sarah is also a flavor of the week who is now several years expired.

[Erose999]

11. She's less like a fine red wine and more like expired milk.

[snooper2]

18. She's like that expired hunk of cream cheese that keeps getting moved to the back

of the fridge...

But some idiots still hold on to it for some reason thinking it's still good :rofl:

[Erose999]

9. "We can all relate to him" - Who is this "we," Sarah? Are you that whacked out of your melon that

you're using the royal "we" when talking about yourself?

"Meantime we shall express our darker purpose." King Lear - 1.1.35

[Raschel]

20. Did you notice Herm speaks of himself in the third person all the time?

He's a weirdo. The whole lot of them are just kooky.

[Katashi_itto]

10. Is it one of the flavors she sampled and

Wasnt happy about?

[Sheepshank]

13. And this coming from Miss Baskin Robin Bubble Gum flavor n/t

[kestrel91316]

15. Doesn't Herman Cain run pizza shops?? How does that qualify him to lead a nation, Sarah??

[jmowreader]

22. Herman Cain USED to run pizza shops

He got picked to run Godfather's because he did so well as a Burger King district manager.

The problem is Cain doesn't actually know how to FIX anything. He analyzes a business' operations, finds everything that isn't profitable, and just gets rid of it. This ain't gonna translate to governance because, strangely enough, most of what the government does runs at what a businessman would consider a loss, including things like the army.

Now he makes his coin writing right-wing newspaper editorials.

[kestrel91316]

24. Used to run pizza shops..........now he just eats in them, to the exclusion of all else.

[WI_DEM]

17. I wonder what she will do to keep the publicity going when she (finally) announces she's not running

for president? My guess is that she will begin to threaten to run as an Independent on a Tea Party type ticket so she can continue to the attention she craves.

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Sarah seems to have the idea that people are interested in everything she says.
