Herman Cain sees himself running the Pentagon

Herman Cain isn't on the debate stage in Sioux City, Iowa Thursday night, but the former presidential hopeful is still making some headlines.

The ex-Godfather's Pizza CEO said he could see himself as Defense Secretary in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters for her yearly special, "The 10 Most Fascinating People."

"If I could influence the rebuilding of our military in the way it should be, that would be a task I would consider," Cain said when Walters asked which cabinet position he would like.

During his presidential campaign, he was criticized for weak foreign policy experience, infamously botching an answer on Libya. Cain had incorrectly asserted that Libya was home to Taliban insurgents.

"I have been doing my homework ever since that difficulty," Cain said in Walters' interview.

Cain's presidential campaign ended amidst allegations of sexual harassment and a 13-year extra-marital affair, though the businessman consistently denied the allegations.

I would've cast him more of a CIA director. He seems really good at keeping secrets and establishing deniability.

Herman Cain sees himself running the Pentagon
==================================

Is that a new pizza chain?

All of the Tea Party darlings will get top appointive posts. Sarah Palin for Secretary of State. Rick Perry for Secretary of Education. Michele Bachmann for Science Advisor. Christine O'Donnell for Secreatry of the Air Force (on her broom). Rich Iott (congressional candidate and Nazi SS aficionado) for Ambassador to Israel. The respect we'd have in the world, huh?

It is a bit scary if the leader of the Defense Department doesn't know who the leaders of the major nations are.

Oh, good heavens--the delusions of grandeur that this man has!

He can't even speak clearly and use correct grammar or knows what country is what and where. When interviewed by B. Walters, he said, "You know I'm speaking hypothetical..." He doesn't know to use the adverb, hypothetically. He just sits there and lies and lies and lies - as if she's as stupid as he is to not believe that where there's smoke and cell phone records, there's fire. Then, the Christmas video today --- he's reading from the bible and his loyal wife is sitting next to him, reaches out to hold his hand - throw up. It's ridiculous - but, he has an audience of stupid/foolish/ignorant people who don't know any better.

Maybe he could run the cafeteria in the pentagon. But that's about it.
