VIDEO: Herman Cain bows out of the Presidential race, quotes ‘Pokemon’ yet again
Matt Hawkins To be clear, he’s not really an avid follower of Pikachu and company, just of Donna Summers. Who happened to sing the song from which he derives his favorite quote.
Here he is, pulling the plug on his bid for candidacy over the weekend, with the same choice words that he’s been using for some time now…
To compare, here’s the source: a Donna Summers song from Pokemon: The Movie 2000…
Such a shame, I really liked the guy! Actually, I’m mostly a fan of Godfather’s Pizza, which he used to help. That stuff is great, and I really wish it could be found at NYC.
Anyhow, ever since the Cain X Pokemon connection was discovered this past August, when he used that same quote at a Presidential debate (which has been in use for some time, in various speeches, and even in one of his books), he’s tried to claim that he had no knowledge about it’s source and is no fan of Nintendo’s hit, kiddie property.
Though a recent interview with GQ has him revealing the real story: he heard the song when NBC used it for some kind of video package. The interview also touches upon his background as a motivational speaker, and as The Daily Beast point out, most of those folks rarely know the meaning or source of whatever catchy phrases they steal and repeat ad nauseam.
He also address where his 9-9-9 plan came from, and it’s apparently not from SimCity after-all. Or maybe it is, and he’s just not forthcoming (which might be the case on a lot of stuff, or so many people believe). Either that or GQ didn’t want to get Cain all pissed off, like the last time it was brought up (fast forward to 3:37 to see his response)…
Is it just me or is he far more animated here than when he was denying all those accusations of sexual harassment and affairs? Hmmm…
