Could Herman Cain become President Rick Perry’s Secretary of Defense? It sounds like it could be a headline from a satire rag, but, according to a new statement by the Texas governor and Republican presidential hopeful, Secretary Cain could indeed be a serious possibility.

Rather, he made himself famous for a long string of foreign policy gaffes and bizarre answers to questions. Before Cain dropped out of the presidential race, he’d already declared his willingness to serve as someone else’s Defense Secretary — a willingness he restated since suspending his run.

Now, it seems like Rick Perry might be ready to take Cain up on his offer. Responding to a question about whether he’d take on Cain in a cabinet position, Perry replied:

He has all the characteristics of the type of person I would bring forward.​

Remember when George Bush appointed (Black) Dr. Condie Rice as Secretary of State? The racist left had a heart attack. Extreme racist cartoons appeared in major newspepers depicting Dr. Rice as a slave mammy. The left never apologized. I expect the same thing would happen with Herman Cain.

Wow, are you comparing Rice to Cain? Seems like apples and oranges to me.

Didn't Barry appoint a communist and former leader of an arson and looting rampage to a cabinet post? I know he appointed an admitted tax cheat as Treasury Secretary and a world class enabler for her husband's infidelity as Secretary of State. Maybe Van Jones was just a trial balloon.

That's a pretty accurate description of the Secretary of State who headed up the Bimbo Eruption squad, during her husband's campaign for president, which was set up to ruin any woman who came fored with evidence of her husband's infidelity.

And Cain had such nice things to say about his accusers...

I know Perry isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but surely he isn't dumb enough to seriously consider Cain for a cabinet post should he become president. My guess is that Perry is simply trying to siphon off some of Cains supporters... from the asylums...

Perhaps. But that would make Perry a duplicitous liar.

I can see him getting a cabinet post from someone.
Secretary of Internal Relations?

Sounds like he's desperate and trying anything he can to win more support for his dead campaign.
