Herman Cain Quotes Pokémon Theme Song
It's not everyday you see a would-be Republican nominee for the highest office in the land find inspiration in the music from a children's cartoon and tell America about it. Ok, well Herman Cain didn't exactly do that, saying instead he was quoting "a poet". No matter. I was so impressed I had to have a little fun with this surreal image. Via NYMag:
One of the weirdest moments of last night's Republican debate probably slipped completely under the radar for most viewers. This moment occurred in Herman Cain's closing statement, when the former pizza-chain CEO recited a favorite inspirational quote:
"A poet once said, 'life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line.'"
Nothing strange about that on the surface, until you Google the quote and you realize that these words of wisdom were uttered not by a poet, but by disco queen Donna Summer in her song "The Power of One." Even more bizarre, this isn't even one of Summer's classic hits — she recorded it just over a decade ago as the theme song for Pokémon: The Movie 2000.
Cain wants to be the very best, like no one ever was.
You win :-D
NOBODY 2012
Has this lunatic rightwing idiot ever looked in a mirror?
Hey jackass, Obama is a republican too, ever notice how the ole' boys treat him?
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
It's obvious why he isn't still ruining any business.
...Crazy Eyes and Bible Spice both quoted Bad Girls: "Toot toot, yeah, beep beep!"

No intention of starting now.
Maybe it's a generational thing. The whole anime form does nothing for me. Closest I got was Speed Racer as a kid. It was unique then; now, not so much.
Seen one Matrix duck-a-bullet scene, seen 'em all.

After their retarded straw poll, this guy is toast. Pokemon is just another side show in the tired circus that is lame primaries for some loser repug.
Is it the 21st century yet?
If so, maybe it's not so bizarre. If he doesn't, then it's very very weird.

I was just thinking the same thing. My son was born in '90, and he's the reason I'm familiar with Pokemon at all...Although I'm not familiar enough to have seen the movie, and I'm not quite dumb enough to attribute the lyricist of any children's film's theme song as a poet.

he has a lot of grandchildren. I guess he's like the woman I used to know who was always around her grandchildren and lost sight of grown-up movies to the point that she was excited about what had to be the one billionth sequel to the Land Before Time. :)

the cartoons of the day 'cause she plugged them in on a regular basis. The sad part was, at times even when the kids were gone, she'd often still want to watch them. :(?
Nothing like trying to 'get into the mood' with the Teletubbies in the background...

All they do is make cooing sounds. Now Saved By the Bell? Totally deflating.

Never liked Saved By the Bell. That was nothing like my school was. My school was 100% crap and if i had a nuke back then i would blow it up without hesitation.

It's just so cloying, though.

Time for a realistic update with the kids stealing mom and dad's vicodin, xanax, etc. Couldn't be any less funny...

...aimed at tweens and elementary school kids. It ran long enough to be syndicated in the afternoons on some of the cable superstations- I think WGN and/or TBS- in the early '90s, when I started watching it very ironically.

would never be on Saved by the Bell. MWC was funny, really funny.

what is worse, ignorance or indifference?
I don't know and I don't care!
Pokemon is the most sophisticated cultural reference he knows. Like every other conservative, he learned everything he knows by the end of kindergarten. It also totally proves he is not some kind of xenophobic bigot.
Ah yes, for we all know Herman Cain was born in 1995. A+ on the whole putting words together thing.
nobody ever said that Cain was born in 1995. merely that he was still in kindergarten at the time Pokemon 2000 came out.
Gotta catch 'em all.......no idea what that crap is about. I watched dragonball z back in the 90's. never cared for Pokémon.

What do you expect from a man who has only one association, pizza? No mensa members in sight in Ames today. C-span just showed T-Paul's tent in Ames and it was pathetic. Several workers and some trash blowing in the breeze.
Now C-span is showing a rerun of Perry making his speech today. Funny, I see St Ronnie and hear Geo Bush. Not funny, frightening.
A caller into C-span said earlier that she was a long time Bachmann supporter but now she is torn between Bachmann and Cain. Now there is a lady with issues.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

Humpty Dumpty was pushed.
from last night. It was mediocre at best; now I think I lost my appetite.

We had PJ's pizza last night for the first time and I thought it was dee-lish. I guess my pizza taste is unrefined. I wish I had saved the remainder to reheat today.
I don't care to try Herman's pizza, it might be as fake as he is and that's fake to the max.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I've become less of a pizza snob in my old age, especially since the best places of my youth are long gone. SoCal ain't much of a quality pizza area anyway.

I never buy pizza from a franchise chain - it's guaranteed to be bland. I only order from local places that have their own distinctive style.
on the subject of Papa John's.
John is yet another right wing Ahole, but the the owners of the local franchise are two very nice gay guys.
Quandry!

Ah-ha! This explains why Cain keeps saying he knows how to win the war in Afghanistan -- but won't tell anyone the details of his Top Secrety Plan to Defeat The Terrrrrrr'sts.
He doesn't want Mullah Mohammed Ahab the Arab the Sheikh of the Burning Sands bin Obama al Zowee to know that he's going to bust a Magnezone on that lame-terroristicalish a** -- but only after he gets his Gym Leader badge.

How about finding more offensive language to 'share' with the world. Your collection is rather stale and over used.
the song "The Power of One" may have been sung by Donna Summer... and featured in a Pokemon film... but it was written by Mark Chait and Mervyn Warren, who've been racking up Emmys and Grammys for their work in film and television. No slouches, they.
But go ahead, keep on with the Pokemon angle. Anyone doing some Photoshopping on Herman today?
What's your point?
This song was a #1 Billboard Dance Club song. A song primarily played in gay clubs. Wonder where Herman heard it?
