Jon Huntsman Zings Herman Cain: ‘I Thought [9-9-9] Was The Price Of A Pizza’
Tonight’s Bloomberg/Washington Post economic debate presented an entirely different format– “kitchen table”– and with Charlie Rose manning the ship, promised to be issues-oriented and steer clear of the personal. But that doesn’t mean it took long for the fireworks to start, though they did come from an unexpected corner of the table: Jon Huntsman, who got Herman Cain fired up by dismissing his “9-9-9″ tax plan as “the price of a pizza.”

It was the second joke for Huntsman of the night, the first earning only an uncomfortable sidelong glance from Rick Perry. Making the obvious “9-9-9″ pizza joke and dismissing it as a “catchy phrase” did elicit laughter from the crowd, but not from Cain, who delivered a fiery response. “9-9-9 will pass– it is not the price of a pizza– because it is well studied and well developed,” Cain responded, arguing that the key to the plan was that it would “throw out the old tax code.”
