Dennis Miller Endorses Herman Cain: ‘Can I Tell You How Jazzed I Am About This Cat?’
Mediaite ^ | September 26, 2011 | James Crugnale

Conservative talk show host and SNL alum Dennis Miller officially endorsed Herman Cain today on his radio program.

“Can I tell you how jazzed I am about this cat? How proud I am of him hanging in there?” Miller gushed in regards to the former Godfather Pizza CEO. “This guy’s the one who makes sense to me, he’s a sweet man, he’s not self-aggrandizing. When the results (of the Florida Straw Poll) came in, I was over the moon.”

Miller suggested an idea for Herman Cain’s next bumper sticker: “Cain Versus Not Able.”

“I’d like to thank (Dennis Miller) for his support,” Cain said on his official Twitter feed. “I look forward to working with him as we continue our journey to the White House!”

Cain has been on a roll since his strong debate performance last Thursday and his victory in the Florida Straw Poll. Miller’s endorsement is sure to add more spring to the former pizza king’s step.

Listen to Miller’s endorsement, via his radio show, below:

Miller: "“Can I tell you how jazzed I am about this cat?"

Cat?...CAT?

That can't be considered anything but racist.

Is any other Presidential candidate called "cat"?

Miller may earn his living by saying things other people would not say, but this is not respectful.

the aforesaid Mr Miller refers to lots of people as ‘cats’.

I think its a Hollywoodism, like ‘my people getting with your people’, etc.

Listening to the radio, there is a ground swell taking place for Mr. Cain.

I read Mr. Cain as McCain, and shuddered.

I too have difficulty reading sometimes. A Headline (not long ago) threw me for a loop. Understand where you are coming from. r does resemble c.

Miller uses the term "cat" a dozen times a day on his show. It is part of his stock lingo and carries no racial baggage.

Brilliant! That's, like, a million slogans so far for the Hermanator.

Cain seems like a good man, but his 999 tax plan is an abomination.

Newt pointed out the obvious today, that it would be pure catnip for congress to tax more deeply into more areas of our lives than ever before.

There’s something to be said for having elective experience before running for president.

You could have described Reagan as a "sweet guy" too. He handled the yahoos of the Left with effortless aplomb. That's why they grudgingly called him "the teflon president"-- they said nothing stuck to him. The real reason is he refused to react as if anything stuck to him.

Like AlGore, Kerry, GWBush, Edwards, Obama, McCain. Throw in Dukakis and Mondale too.

Yes there probably is something trenchant to be said about all these political slicks. It isn't pretty though.

Interesting distinction.

In science an observed and measured phenomena is often assessed to see if it is both necessary and sufficient to explain a particular fact. Two distinct and particular qualities.

Sarah Palin’s my first choice; Herman Cain is second.

ditto. We're so blessed that we have such a great 2nd choice.

You need to watch some of his speeches and interviews and see how fired up he can get. He has taken Obama to the woodshed many times.

It was fortunate that Cain got a chance to speak at the last debate.

I was on board with Cain, prior to the 999 plan, when he was simply advocating throwing out the current tax system in favor of the Fair Tax. The 999 plan has me concerned also. However, in the grand scheme of Cain’s plan, 999 is a two year transition to the Fair Tax. Also, I think it’s gonna be harder, than most folks think, for congress to raise taxes when they apply to each and every citizen at the same level. Could end the class warfare game and strike a serious blow to the Liberal political playbook.

Actually, within jazz, it is quite a compliment to refer to a musician as a "cat."

Since so much of jazz is improvised, it's a way of saying the artist has his own groove and can deliver. He may start with sheet music, however, at one point he does his own thing that people dig.

Alternate voicing? Cain doesn't need a teleprompter.

Miller is old school. He speaks of a “cool cat” which covers a wide range of professions, but speaks of a talented, level headed guy.

So submitting two like posts to the same person is “stalking”? You are a repulsive POS.
