Oh, the news is all abuzz about Herman Cain’s problem answering questions about Libya. And it’s just because of media bias! We all may know about what happened in Libya, but that’s just because we’re not being accused of sexual harassment! (Again.) That’s very distracting, so everyone should give him a break! This is a smear campaign and nothing else! And I must admit, it was extremely prescient of the Democrats to have had women accuse him of stuff years ago, knowing that he’d be running for president now. They must have a really good psychic! Or do they just have people set-up every conservative all the time, just in case they decide to run for president someday? (They ought to do that, if they’re not doing it yet! It’s the right plan for America!)
But hey, running for President is hard, especially for people who aren’t real politicians. And for people who are politicians, but aren’t very smart. Or aren’t good at debating. Or whatever excuse you want to use. That’s why the RNC needs to adopt a new policy with regard to answering questions, because as Newt Gingrich has pointed out, every question they get is a “gotcha” question. Or was that Sarah Palin who said that? Oh, I’m confused too! That’s why we all need Republican Mad Libs to help us answer the tough questions!
Republican Mad Libs are a sort of talking-point-style answer-all solution to liberal media “gotcha” questions: simply memorize them, and fill in the blanks as necessary. There would be a few of them, maybe, or maybe they only need one. Let’s see, Herman Cain’s “gotcha” question on Libya could have been answered in this way:
“President Obama has destroyed America by ____________ (activity) _____________ (noun), because he is a naïve leader without the ____________ (noun) to __________ (verb) properly, and if he’s re-elected, he will destroy the country with his ____________ (adjective) _________ (noun).”
And in the case of Libya, it would have sounded like this:
“President Obama has destroyed America by invading (activity) Libya (noun), because he is a naïve leader without the experience (noun) to lead (verb) properly, and if he’s re-elected, he will destroy the country with his inexperienced (adjective) leadership (noun).”
See? That’s exactly like the kind of answer we usually hear from Republicans, right? (BTW: I know we didn't invade Libya, but I'm assuming Herman Cain doesn't know that.) So this is just an easy way for them to make an automatic answer about any topic, even if they don’t know anything about it. They just have to make sure they don’t start the answer without knowing what to fill in the spaces with, as that might give the game away! (Example: “President Obama has destroyed America by, um, what are we talking about again?”)
