Herman Cain, fighting sexual harassment accusations, calls Nancy Pelosi "Princess Nancy"
By John Aravosis (DC) on 11/09/2011 09:05:00 PM


Herman Cain literally just called US House Minority Leader, and former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi "Princess Nancy." (Video here, courtesy of ThinkProgress.)

Not the smartest thing to do, when you're fighting multiple women who have accused you of sexual harassment, and one of sexual assault, to make a sexist comment about the highest ranked woman



Former Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino just tweeted:

Ay yi yi, former Speaker Pelosi called a princess in the debate? Not fair. We may disagree on policy, but she earned the Speaker title.

1. The Repukes hate women. It's really that simple. - n/t

[Beaverhausen]

11. This one isn't as good at hiding it as some others

He is truly toast now.

[indepat]

35. Repukes are tolerant of women who stay in their place, keep their mouths shut and

their minds closed. :patriot:

[coalition_unwilling]

37. Good points all. At the risk of triggering Godwin's Law, I would

argue that any non-1% woman who votes Repuke is like any non-1% Jew who voted for Hitler.

[madinmaryland]

38. Even republican women seem to hate women. Go figure.

[my2sense]

2. He is an idiot

Not sure why he's still considered a viable candidate. He wears his ignorance like a badge of honor and the crazy freepers applaud. It's baffling. How he could dare say something like that while dealing with sexual harassment claims is just another example of poor judgement.

[RKP5637]

18. He has a lot in common with them, I think that's why the crazy freepers applaud him

so much, he's just their kinda man, an image to look up to for inspiration.

[KansDem]

3. This guy's an ass...

I don't know why we're even subjected to these GOP candidates...They're all asses...

They are embarrassing!

[RKP5637]

19. And the international audience sees them as the best the US can do, such an

embarrassment.

[JohnnyLib2]

4. Kudos to Perino.

[Tx4obama]

23. Here's a link to Perino's tweet

p.s. I think we are going to see MANY GOP'ers start to turn on Cain.
I predict he will be out of the race within a week.

[Old and In the Way]

5. Did he mention Prince John? nt

A useful idiot if there ever was one.

[Raine]

12. of course not, he reserves his contemp and disrespect for women

what an ASSHOLE! x(

[LittleBlue]

6. He's a Rethug

They tend to say dumb shit.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

7. With that & the smug contempt the Grinch has shown for Maria Bartiromo

the Repubs indeed have shown how they feel about women.

[Parker CA]

14. I wish I could've socked him in the face multiple times now. Absolute piece of trash.

[TwilightGardener]

8. What a condescending prick.

[fishwax]

9. +1

[RKP5637]

17. Very well said!!! n/t

[Raine]

10. Typical of a perv who has no respect for women

needlessly taking the opportunity to put down a woman DISGUSTING! :puke:

[Iwillnevergiveup]

13. I couldn't take it

only lasted half an hour or so. Romney comin' on strong. Idiotic, but strong.

[RKP5637]

20. I'm doing DU as I watch as an antidote for the R poison. n/t

[peacetalksforall]

15. Attitude and arrogance. The attitude came from somewhere. This man? is pathetic?

They have no candidates that they can use to lure Democrats to vote Republican. None. They don't have a true majority. If a normal election was approaching, it could be assumed that they would have to steal the election again to make it look like they won. Now we have corporate personhood. That is their way in this time, unless their Party really wants Obama there. That's what it looks like.

What a fool of an old man.

[libinnyandia]

22. They don't want Obama to be reelected, there just aren't any

rational beings in the GOP. They will win over the crazy voters but the rest will reject the Republican candidate. We just have to make sure that they aren't helped by a third party candidate.

[RKP5637]

16. Yep, demean and defame women. He's really showing what he's made of and

IMO substantiated the claims of the accusers. I hope the accusers, all four, do a joint news conference and kick this guy out as he should be.

[jaysunb]

21. Hang in there Herman !

The more they cheer you at the debates, people will be able to see all republicans for who they are. Tell us what you think of Mz Hillary next. That ought to set your base on fire !

Thanks Bro ! :evilgrin:

[lonestarnot]

24. Why that fucker! Nobody grabbed him with the exit stage right cane?

[tishaLA]

25. Steve Schmidt just brought it up on LOD's show

He said, "in poker, they call that a tell"

[liberal N proud]

26. There are men who just can't help themselves

demoralizing women is in their head and they are no longer even aware that they are creeps.

Yet the hypocritical right wing/teabaggers continue to support him????

[sufrommich]

27. Holy cow, what an idiot. nt

[Bryn]

28. The other meaning of "princess" is "daddy's little girl"

Nancy Pelosi is no way that and is a woman to be respected. He has put his foot in his mouth!

[JaneQPublic]

29. It was wildly applauded by the debate audience; however...

I can't imagine the "princess" statement impressed many independent voters, especially the women.

[riderinthestorm]

30. Whoa, a serious tell. His contempt for women is now completely exposed. Nail his ass asap. nt

[Blue Owl]

31. The brain of a small child resides in the body of a teabagger

If that.

[Taverner]

32. His sexist minions will eat that shit up and ask for seconds....

[seabeyond]

33. because condescending to women is a smart move for him right now.

shows his dismissiveness and arrogance to women and reinforces the women accusers.

[Occupy_2012]

34. I used to live in Nancy Pelosi's district

and I had the honor of voting for her more than once. If Herman Cain wants to compare her with royalty, it's ok with me. She's a classy, intelligent, hard working kind of "princess." "Former Speaker of the House" is good too.

Oh, you mean he was trying to be disrespectful? That only works if you are the sort of person that is disreputable. Like Herman Cain.

[JuniperLea]

36. He has a campaign death wish!

I think he is too afraid to be president, or the GOP contender even... he is sabotaging his own campaign!

[Horse with no Name]

39. He is such a fucking sexist pig.

He should go away...soon.
