2012 Shucky Ducky, Herman Cain Is In

Posted by Paul Constant on Sat, May 21, 2011 at 2:21 PM

Here is ex-Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain officially announcing he's running for president:

Shucky-ducky? He also says "we don't do number two in America." Urban dictionary says that "shucky-ducky" is "a term used as a replacement for the word shit." Between the frequent references to "number two" in this speech and his opening euphemism for the word shit, that makes this the single most feces-obsessed statement in the history of presidential campaigns, unless you count any time Santorum touches a podium.

Anyway, here are comments on the YouTube video:

What no teleprompter ?? *LOL*

Cain > Obama x 100

God speed Mr. Cain, America needs you.

In conclusion: Pizza.

the odds of two niggers bein president in a row were long as fuck before obama pissed off the whole "elite white ruling class" and now the rest of us are pissed. i wouldn't give the pizza guy a hope in hell . but if he gets any donations i bet he will spend them on something cool like a new caddy with 22's or something.

@1 You are one classy bastard. Also, you are stupid & make no sense in the serious bit of your post and the jokey part isn't funny. In conclusion, fuck off & fall down a hole somewhere.

Now in honour of Mr Cain, tonight I am going to eat pizza, watch the Godfather & never become president.

If Georgia wasn't interested in electing him to the senate, what make him think anyone will vote for him for president?

I predict his campaign will last approximately as long as Donald Trump's did (the other rich guy who never held elective office before).

Never mind.

I was not aware that the Olympic flame represented the spirit of America.

Wow, the Republican party is certainly going off the deep end.

Did I say going? I meant gone.

I look forward to the fire-side chats delivered by an actor depicting a menacing Italian stereotype.

It's Sarah Palin and Michael Steele all over again. They're putting forward a woefully under-qualified candidate because of their minority status. Only Republicans could put forward a black candidate for president and make it racist.

Gosh, I really like pizza. Maybe I should vote for him.

Proteus, maybe you know this already, but Godfather's Pizza started in Omaha, and the TV ads featured an actor depicting a menacing Italian Stereoptype,

At first, it was really good Pizza. Then it got sold to Pillsbury or something and promptly got gross. I don't know where Herman Cain came in, but I don't think it was in good old Independent pizzeria days.

i kinda like the idea that the choice would be between 2 black men. suck on that, old white people!

Posted by Max Solomon on May 21, 2011 at 7:59 PM

I agree, Max - but you know the choice would be reduced by the right wing to a choice between step 'n fetch it or Malcom X.

Conservatives will be consoled by knowing that even though he's one of them, he will know his place.

NUMBER 2 is not in America's DNA!

I would never brag about being a CEO of Godfather's pizza. Then again, I also like food that tastes good.

You talkin to me?

Posted by still the worst pizza ever on May 21, 2011 at 11:24 PM

i've all ways wondered how godfathers could all ways deliver a pizza that was both cold and burnt.

@17

I think when you burn organic material to pure carbon, it doesn't retain heat very well.

1) This guy seriously announced his candidacy for POTUS in dark shades indoors? WTF? (what really knocked me out was the cheap sunglasses)
2) Herman Cain is Obama's best chance of winning in Alabama. All the racist fucks in Alabama will just stay home. In the end the total vote count will be under 1,000 and Obama will win with 80% of it.
3) Wouldn't it be problematic for the Christian conservatives to vote for a guy named Cain?
4) Anyone know how he turned Godfathers around to be profitable? I've never had the stuff but from the comments here it sounds like he did it by reducing quality to the point of profitability. Is that his plan for the USA too?

@Root

1) They were transition lenses. He forgot to swap them out. If you watched the news every once in a while you might have known that.
2) Georgia and Alabama residents overwhelmingly support Herman Cain.
3) That's by far the pettiest complaint I've heard. Wouldn't it also be problematic for Americans to vote for a guy named Hussein?
4) You should really base your opinions on more than a few off-color comments you read on the Internet. You might save yourself some embarrassment.
