After Herman Cain drew an utter blank when an interviewer asked him how he felt about Obama's handling of Libya, and proceeded to unconvincingly fake a response, Andrew Sullivan rounds up the responses of bloggers around the net, from Cain's supporters and detractors alike.
Drezner invokes the mercy rule:
There's a mercy rule in Little League, and I'm applying it here — unless and until Herman Cain surges back in the polls again, or manages to muster something approaching cogency in his foreign policy statements, there's no point in blogging about him anymore. I can only pick on an ignoramus so many times before it feels sadistic.
Pamela Geller, who previously endorsed Cain, calls it an "unrecoverable moment":
This is just unacceptable, Herman. … He is not ready.
Of course, this is just the latest in a string of Cain blunders.
(Thanks, Fipi Lele!)
