Colbert: ‘Cain Picks Up Voters Who Don’t Like Romney, Used To Like Perry, And Can’t Have Christie’
Stephen Colbert lauded Herman Cain‘s surge in the polls on Wednesday’s Colbert Report, saying the former Godfather Pizza CEO “picks up all the voters who don’t like Mitt Romney, used to like Rick Perry and can’t have Chris Christie.”
“Republican voters have been reduced to using the same criteria as a 4 AM barroom pickup,” Colbert zinged. “He has a pulse and no visible cold sores and folks, that is a good thing because Cain is on everybody’s lips.”
The late night host was referring to a new CBS poll that showed Cain tied with Romney for 17% in the GOP race. A huge jump for what Colbert deemed a dark-horse candidate, an expression he only used “because he’s an unexpected challenger, not because he’s a horse.”
Besides tying the former Massachusetts governor in the polls, Colbert noted that Cain had Sarah Palin congratulating the working-class, “flavor of the week”, er, well, Herb Cain, at least.
“Yes, Herb Cain is from a working-class family,” he snarked. “I wonder where Herman Cain came from. Someone should ask Sandra Palin about him.”
