Dennis Miller Drops His Endorsement Of Herman Cain: ‘He Can’t Win!’

video
» 84 comments

A few months ago, Dennis Miller offered an endorsement of Herman Cain in typical Miller fashion, asking his radio show audience if he could tell them “how jazzed I am about this guy?” However, following a number of gaffes on Cain’s part, Miller rescinded that endorsement last night on The O’Reilly Factor. He was blunter in his language this time, telling Bill O’Reilly that he was “off the Cain Train” simply because “he can’t win!”

The turning point for Miller seemed to be the now ubiquitous video of Cain’s less-than-inspiring Libya response. While Miller still felt that Cain was still a “great guy” and that he could change his mind back at some time in the future, he thought that video made it to easy for the opposition to “dust off the Palin playbook.”

O’Reilly asked who Miller was now looking at and Miller wasn’t sure.

“Well, listen, I don’t know where i’m quite going yet. I might stop at Newtville, I might go to planet Ron Paul. I have a feeling, like everybody else, I might end up at Romney Acres eventually. Those are the three right now, I think, because of this; Romney makes it hard for them to hit. Newt hits back. And Ron Paul doesn’t even know he has been hit.”

That being said, he seemed most confident about Newt Gingrich, citing the candidate’s strong debate performances and response to CBS’ Scott Pelley.

Watch all this from Fox News below as well as Miller’s story about “fantasizing” about elbowing a Muslim guy in the face on a plane because, hey, he’s still a comedian! What a hilarious jokester!

    Dennis…dennis…dennis, you are probably feeling a little bit silly with the Herman Cain endorsement now. 

    It’s akin to having, one too many pieces of cake, being full of remorse and regret afterwards and also that bloated indigestion….

    …Undoubtably, It probably felt good at the time.

    Cain dropped his endorsement of Cain when he started expressing desire for a defense secretary post on Savage’s radio show

    If Palin was in, Miller would have endorsed her. She’s been on his program and Dennis is a stand up guy.

    Not really, for those of us politically in-tune. Nothing has shocked me thus far. Other than my candidate not getting in.

    No, what’s disappointing is that we have a society with people that are as vile as the folks on this site.

    That’s the only disappointing thing. I will be in law school next year. I’m not worried about folks like me in fortunate situations. I worry about my future secretaries and janitors and so on. I look out for them.

    It may be a very long case.

    President Obama will not be seen as a failure by the uninsured, some of the bereaved of 9/11, DADT. Seeing through some Foreign Policy objectives and several other areas that could be mentioned. ‘Period.’ Ditto.

    There won’t be wholesale agreement on these areas, to some, but they have long lasting positive affects where they are importantly needed.

    The righties are clueless. I was reading a column by some rightwinger who was trying to make a persuasive argument how Obama should should join the other 8 GOP losers in the debates. I guess the circus on TV is painful to withstand that they want the President to engage in that spectacle.

    The DADT constituency would’ve voted for him already John.

    It won’t be long. That’s why they took it. They want it to be settled practice one way or the other. It has HUGE implications – not on the health care industry but on other industries.

    Foreign policy – Obama continued Bushes policies. Simple as that.

    You’re not mentioning anything that Obama will be able to run on.

  • Redleaf

    I agree.
    Deficiencies in a candidate is never the candidate’s fault.
    It’s always the fault of the media for pointing them out.
    If only all 24 hour cable news channels and newspapers would disappear, we’d be much more informed (actually, that’s probably 100% true).

    Awww..Miller sad!! Don’t worry Miller. He might too retarded to be president of the USA..but qualified to join u and O’reilly in sexually harassing those lobotomized blondies at Fox next year. That’s what Cain has been running for.

    Good for Dennis Miller.
    As I have said and written repeatedly, Herman Cain is not:
    very bright, well-read, well-traveled, intellectually curious, or even clued into current affairs, both foreign and domestic. I know someone much like him – a UAW rep who is all BS and barely literate.
    BUT …
    Miller on the Romney train? No way, man, abso****inglutely NO way.
    By the way, why are Romney’s odd beliefs off limits when Barry Soetoro’s were fair game?
    If it has to be Gingrich instead of my guy Rick Perry, so be it.
    I’d sooner vote Libertarian than a Romney.
