This Corndog learned that Herman Cain’s Campaign was going to headline at a Clear Lake Tea Party sponsored event around 6pm so after listening to Herman Cain's radio interview with Michael Berry and some special nacho-time at Chuys, Husband and I headed out to Gulf Greyhound Park.
We arrived early for the good seats. There were a number of tables set up for local conservative candidates campaigning for a myriad of Galveston County and Harris county offices as well as some contenders for House District positions. I’ll get more into that in a second post as what I really want to focus on is Herman Cain’s speech so without further ado, here is some of my awesome iphone videography of Herman Cain last night at Gulf Greyhound Park:
Apologies for the snippet but as you can see I’m no videographer. I have asked Smitty to help me edit the 30 min long video of his entire speech but am having trouble uploading it from my phone because technology hates me at the moment. When I figure it out there will be more to come.
UPDATE I: What inspired us to attend Herman Cain's campaign stop last night:
Our usual habit after work is to hop in the truck and beat feet for the hov lane right quick and fast in order to stay ahead of the the rest of the herd. We tune in the radio or listen to the comedy station on Husband’s iheartradio app. Lately we’ve been tuning in to Michael Berry. Last night we learned he was going to interview Herman Cain so we stayed tuned in for that. Anyone who has tuned in regularly to Michael Berry knows that he has been(or still is) an avid supporter of Rick Perrry and has made some criticisms regarding Hermain Cain’s 9-9-9 plan and some comment Herman Cain made when he was asked to opine on “that rock” and how he thinks it relates to Rick Perry’s relationship towards black people.
Political interviews can usually be so lame and scripted that you find you’ve tuned in to a stump, not an interview. This was not the case with Berry’s phone interview with Herman Cain. Mr. Cain was comfortable and direct. He didn’t come across as anything less than genuine and unscripted and for us that was worth checking him out at Gulf Greyhound Park last night.

Yea! IT let me through today (I hope). I'm a Michael Berry fan. He says what he means and usually is pretty entertaining to boot.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the video.
Woot! I'm so frustrated right now because I'm trying to upload the entire speech and I'm having technical difficulties. Grrr. Michael Berry can be a bit bossy and racist but most of the time his show makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI don't see him as racist. I think he has had it with PC and calls people, any people, out on their stupidity and willful ignorance by parodying their own vernacular. Particularly Queen Sheila. But that's just my opinion.
ReplyDeletePlus, I love it when he uses the term "vunables." lol
