Fact Check! Herman Cain’s Ice Cream Meltdown (BARF alert!!!)
ABC News ^ | Oct 13, 2011 | By John Berman

Posted on 10/13/2011 2:09:33 PM PDT by Baladas

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain might be in the midst of his campaign’s first crisis, all thanks to ice cream.

Now leading in at least one national poll, Cain is frequently asked if he is the new political flavor of the month. Cain’s canned response is: “Haagen-Dazs black walnut tastes good all the time.”

Here’s the problem: Haagen Dazs no longer makes black walnut ice cream. It was a limited edition, and is no longer available. So, in a manner of speaking, you might say that Haagen Dazs black walnut was – by definition – a flavor of the month.

The things the LSM will "factcheck" when it comes to a first-tier GOP primary candidate - snarky and annoying article beyond belief.

You can bank on the fact that it will be back in the stories in days.

Yeah...still waiting for Obama’s video of saying how a “single-payer” system is what he wants...I’m sure ABC is all over that.

How often did they talk about his “corpse” instead of “corps” flub? Or the 57 states? Or the brethalizer? etc.

Curtis Sliwa calling every Home Depot in Delaware asking them when Joe Biden was coming in was much funnier.

My favorite is 31 Flavors Mandarin Chocolate and they discontinued it years ago.

Heard it on the radio news. It highlights the pettiness that is the mainstream media. Somebody actually picked up a paycheck to dig up this useless factoid.

That’s the best they got???????

That’s not a barf - that’s a larf!!

In spite of dedicated digging and turning over rocks - I don’t expect the MSM will succeed in finding any disgruntled former employees or work colleagues to crucify this man.

As they continue with their smear efforts - we must remember to ask where are Obama’s college ‘friends’ and co-workers from his past.

I think this is funny, and falls into the category of beneficial positive name-recognition enhancement, including among swing voters.

The message is clear. Get it while it is available because you may never get the chance again.

The DUmp was just gloating about this like it’s something they can derail his campaign over. It’s petty, indeed, even the title is just propoganda. It’s a “methaphor” for their stupidity is all.

holy stupid ‘fact-check’ batman.

Zero is given the nomination when MSM media proclaims ‘we don't know who this man is’ (Tom Brokaw on Charlie Rose), and they are ‘fact checking’ ice cream flavors for Cain.....

The LameStreamMedia’s attention to Cain’s answer only shows they have as much substance to their “reporting” as does the question as it was asked to Cain - which is nil; zero; zip; nada; zilch.

Chcolate covered almond Chocolate, for me. I have not had it from Baskin Robbins for decades. They discontinued it also.

I've gone simpler, to Breyers Coffee now. I miss my Almond.

They only did it because he used the word “Black”. Had he said Vanilla Tighty Whitey Chip, they would have celebrated his tastes.
