What a smart, well-read man ;-)

Alex, el español de los cubanos no se habla en ningún otro país. Lol. I had a colombian girlfriend and learned all the words I was taught as a kid aren’t “real” spanish. But I’ll stick with shopping with my haba, and drinking from my pomo. 

hannity will be all over this in a few minutes. given that he’s not a hack, because he always rips obama for saying austrian was a language.

Cuban food is excellente’. Ybor City has some great restaurantes. So does Miami.

 Delicioso is how you say it in Espanol .

Mr. Presidente .How do you say delicious in Austrian?

Delicious in Cuban is cigar!

As Alex Alvarez notes, “many non-Cubans can’t seem to understand unless we speak slowly.”
I am no expert on Spanish, but I have read that a compliment or neutral slang work in Mexico could be an insult in Paraguay.
And, there are many forms of “German.” There are regional differences in languages everywhere.
I can mangle many languages. :-)
(Not a Cain supporter.)

I hear you say “delicious” in Cuban the same way you say “wheeling and dealing” in Austrian.

And then he electrocuted them.

Ok, enough of the trivial gaffs. Pointing out lack of knowledge on foreign-policy is okay but this is ridiculous

Is Herman Cain the GOP’s answer to Alvin Greene? 

How do you say “Token” in teabagger?

“When I’m president, we gonna put elec-trodes in the waw’ter, and fry ‘em into some tasty pork rinds!”

delicious “in Cuban” = soy un pendejo

I have no position on this.

The point here is that moron “I don’t need to know any foreign policy” doesn’t know “cuban” is not a language.

It is like he is saying “I speak ‘murkan” which he does, of course.

Speaking Cuban, speaking Austrian…..Cain, a candidate for POTUS said “cuban”, the POTUS on the other hand thinks they spaeak “austrian” and mediaite highlights Cain and not Obama.
Oh so funny…really, you guys need to start providing just a little bit of balance in your gaffe stories.  You cannot protect the one and expect people to take you seriously when you attack candidates and give POTUS a pass.

Here The One is in Hawaii and he says he is in “asia” and you talk abut Cain and speaking cuban.  Unbelievable.

Español es Español alla en Cuba y en la Real Academia.

Just like in English, there are variations on slang and pronunciation depending on locality.

For example, the Brits themselves have different accents. And in Español is the same situation. In Mandarin is the same, along with Japanese, Korean, Cantonese, Italian, on and on.

And in ‘murkan, it is the same situation.

.. probably the same way you say “hello” in Austrian.

If you don’t get that, look it up.

Ah, I should have figured you’d have beat me to it. LOL. How do you say “…you got it first” in Austrian? Or better yet, in that Asian language they speak in Hawaii?

You do know that Cuba is very close to Florida and the USA has kept a senseless embargo for decades, right?

If someone as stupid as you in Tampa knows this fact, it speaks volumes about 666 Herbs and not knowing anything about Libya or “cuban”

great, so I am sure you are just as upset with this gaffe

Can you please repeat that in Austrian?

Perdedor.

this guy is an idiot…How do you say delicious in cuban?   they should have responded how do you say ignorant in blackish?

This might not be a log on the fire of his demise, but it’s more kindling anyway. Mr. Foreign Policy just continues to show his ignorance. I don’t agree with Alex Alvarez (the author of this piece) that Cain was joking. He’s clearly asking his adviser for information . . . . I guess like he’d have to do on most everything if he were president. Luckily, that will never happen.

LMAO!!!

Bravo, Tina.

Look, it’s no different than someone in Lafayette, Louisiana asking “How do you say ‘delicious’ in Cajun,” which has the same insular relation to French as the Cubano dialect has to Spanish (even worse, actually, because the hundred or so local dialects of Cajun French are sometimes unintelligible to EACH OTHER, much less to les francais de France).  Give the guy at least as much a break as you did Al Gore, who, paraded past a painting of Jefferson in the White House asked ‘Who’s that guy?’ “

Herbie Cain is an ignorant buffoon and not a serious candidate.

I just watched a clip where he said he didn’t have a clue about the economy either…two fur two…

Like Obama asks Valerie Jarrett, who previously was famous for being one of the biggest and WORST slumlords in Chicago, for advice on domestic policy?  And Jeffrey Immelt, who along with his former boss at GE “Neutron Jack” Welch, outsourced more American jobs than any comparably sized company while paying no income tax, is Obama’s JOBS advisor?  That’s like asking Bill Clinton for tips on reducing sexual assault in the workplace.

American English pronunciations are not the same with British, Irish, Australian etc. My gosh there are dictionaries that say American English, so what is wrong with Herman Cain wanting to know the best Cuban intonation or accent on how to say delicious?

Glad you owned up to what you are.

How do you say “political whore for Wall Street” in libtard?

Odumbo: How do you say wheeling and dealing in Austrian? LOL… they speak German in Austria and he’s the current president….

“I don’t know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing.” Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009
–  “Austrian,” a language which does not exist…..

I think that’s why Cain said it, because of Obama’s faux pas.

Another gaffe by the Herbinator.  He might just beat “W”‘s record.  I can’t wait to get my calendar of Herbisms in this year’s x-mas stocking.   Vegas bookies put the odds of him out doing “W” at 2-1.   

Romney “Gracias Senor Cain”

So you are an expert on linguistics? NOT!
Mandarin and Cantonese are two very different forms of the same Chinese language, and there are at least 100 other different forms of Chinese.
Spanish has Catalan as the “official” Spanish, but it is different from the Spanish of different regions of Spain, and of course there is a Latin American Spanish that is different from the Spanish versions of Spanish in Spain. The differences are more subtle than the differences between Mandarin and Cantonese, but they are real.
There is also High German and there is Low German and Middle German. North Koreans speak differently than South Koreans. The French that is spoken in Haiti is very different than the French that is spoken in Paris, and the French spoken in Quebec is called Quebecois. Let’s not forget Creole French.

High German, Middle German, or Low German? Bavarian German or AUSTRIAN German?

Delicioso

Nope -Obama has W beat by a mile, it just the left wing media continues to cover up for Obama, their god.  So funny to watch them make fun of Cain, Newt and others while they intentionally censor stories about Obama.
Its a good thing the public at large is a heck of a lot smarter than today’s so called journalists.

Touche! Obama’s mistake was just as bad as Cain’s in this case.

OK…if you believe that down in Tampa and it makes you happy, good for you. If Obama was the gaff machine you make him out to be …then wouldn’t we hear about it from the unbiased, fair and balanced right wing Fox News?

Yes and we know about 57 states.

Coño, chico! Lo que yo daria por un pastelito de guayaba y queso ahora mismo.

Herman has given up.  His only ambition now is a four-way with the Huntsman daughters.

What a bumper crop of fine candidates the GOP has fielded this year…erudite, worldly and knowledgeable, every one!

Does anyone know how to say “Blame Yourself” in Cuban?? Lol!!

Herman says “delicious” in Spanish, “cono blanco.”

“EL Entdouche bag”

Culpar a usted mismo!

Lol!! Thank You!!   =)

Pussy Boy, is so Cheesy!

Newt Gingdrich and Koch Brothers and Mitt Romney.

I doubt he even knows about Pres. Obama’s faux pas.

Cain has dropped to (3rd) in the Fox News Poll.  Dropped from 24% to 15%.  He also dropped to (3rd) in the CNN Poll.  Even in polls that he continues to lead he has dropped among “conservative women”.  And 42% of his support is considered “soft”.  In other words 42% of his supporters said they “could” vote for another candidate.

Hey Odumbo…OBammie…Empty Suit….Muslim….Fascist…..Socialist….Nazi….whatever they want to call you President Obama…..I LOVE YOU…  Looking forward to your second “term”

PROOF!!!

I honestly think it was his lame attempt at humor. That being said, I think he’s awful and this is the least to consider when tallying all the other awfulness.

It is a race to the bottom with these Republicans. It is an environment where education, knowledge and sensitivity towards various cultures is considered liberal elitism. Rick Perry readily admits, “I am not a good debater”, and Cain admits, he knows little about foreign policy. Yes people who want their President to be informed, educated, quick on their feet and sensitive to other cultures are dumb.

I think the same way you say it in Austrian, but check with Obama, he is the Austrian language expert.

There is already a best seller of such for Obama’s gaffes, but no one can equal Joe “the gaffe” Biden, he does at least ten-twenty a day.

That was pretty good, Leedog.

“but, but Obama…..O-Obama….Obama said it too!!”

Obama’s “Austrian” - gaffe happened years ago. Do we always have to remind everyone about it every time a republicans says something stupid? As a defense for the dumb right wingers? That’s just lame.

Agreed.

When you can’t defend Cain just change the subject to someone else right?

L – A – M – E.

You don’t.  They’re too busy feeling sorry for themselves & calling themselves “poor exiles.”  I’ve got a million I’ll give you.

Perhaps you would prefer it in Uze-becki-becki-becki-stan-stani?

Now the rocket scientist doesn’t know Cubans speak Spanish.  I can’t take much more of this charade.  If Iowa nominates this guy for president, then I’m done with Iowa for good.

=)

For your sake, i would hope not.  That would mean Cain is being briefed on Obama’s gaffes and not his policies (Libya anyone?).  Not a smart method of grooming a potential presidential candidate.

You think people don’t know about Obama’s gaffe?  lol  I don’t think Cain had to be briefed.  It’s o.k. though because the “rocket scientist” should know better – the community organizer, not so much.

Where’s your proof.  You righties just repeat the same 57 state thing.  

Cuban Spanish,PR Spanish,DR Spanish or any other Spanish speaking country is still Spanish with different accents and words meaning different things.But delicious (delicioso)means the same no matter what Spanish speaking area you are from.

We never heard that!

OK. I surrender. I have been a prick for pointing out that there are different dialects, but that probably wasn’t what Cain was thinking.
He should have either said “Is there a Cuban slang for delicious?”
Most of all, it was not wise to pick on Cain for this one, because it only invites others to “shoot back” with similar gaffs by other politicians.

We would disagree here in the phillipines pare.

Not just “someone else”, the sitting president who gets a pass when he speaks off TelePrompter. We just like to point out how biased lies are.

And they all have jobs. They pay taxes and haven’t hidden their records. How refreshing.

the official version of Spanish is castellano not Catalan which is not Spanish but a separate language altogether

Sort of like Obama wanting to speak in Austrian?

Thanks.
