What a difference a week makes. Following his rocket ride to the top of the GOP presidential field, and a Bloomberg/Washington Post debate performance that made a star of his “9-9-9 plan,” former pizza mogul Herman Cain has rapidly become a media punchline. That arc culminated Sunday morning when This Week host Christiane Amanpour opened her interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by asking “Are you in Herman Cain’s famously designated ‘Beki-beki-beki-bekistan?’”
Secretary Clinton laughed, and told Amanpour, “Well, you know, there’s a zero-zero-zero chance I’m going to comment on Republican politics. But I am in Uzbekistan.”
Ironic, however, that Amanpour finds Cain funny, but not that we have a Secretary of State that bungled the name of the president of Russia during the 2008 debates. Video of Clinton bungling Medvedev here.
