BWAHAHA! Pizza Dork© understands "neoconservativism" like Bush understood "sovereignty"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

For good reason, the political world was watching closely when Herman Cain sat down for an interview on “Meet the Press” this morning. The man who is now running in first place in the Republican presidential race had previously shown clear blind spots on some basic policy topics, particularly relating to foreign affairs, and seemed ill-suited for the type of grilling he was about to face.

And to judge from the headlines around the web now, the interview simply proved the point, with Cain apparently revealing that he has no idea what the term “neoconservative” means. This is the result of Cain’s response to a question from David Gregory about whether he considers himself to be one:

CAIN: I’m not sure what you mean by neoconservative. I am a conservative, yes. Neoconservative — labels sometimes will put you in a box. I’m very conservative.

GREGORY: But you’re familiar with the neoconservative movement?

1. Yeah, right.

I saw this interview, in which Thick Crust said he wasn't familiar with what a neocon was. Oh please.

Yet, he said that he consults with Kissinger (probably one of the behind-the-scenes neocon Godfathers) and Bolton (neocon extraordinary and
one of the original PNAC signatories).

"NOoooooooo....whaaaaaa? Neocons??? Never heard of em!"

3. Wow --

That is being out of the loop in a fairly serious way.

4. Bull-he knows exactly what a neocon is.

He's reading from their playbook every day. Not an orginal thought in his head.

5. All he has to do is say that the image of Jesus once appeared on

one his pizzas and that the image told him he should run for President and he will be back in the good graces of the lunatic fringe of the teabaggers. Problem solved. No need for those pesky qualifications.
