Cain had a Maalox moment during chemo when he found out the surgeon's name was "Dr. Abudullah"


Herman Cain said this past weekend at a Christian-theme amusement park in central Florida that doctors who are not Christian make him nervous.

According to a story released Monday morning by Yahoo News’s The Ticket, Cain revealed to a crowd at The Holy Land Experience theme park his fear when he found out that a surgeon he once saw during chemotherapy was named “Dr. Abudullah.”

“I said to his physician assistant, ‘That sounds foreign,’” he said. “Not that I had anything against foreign doctors–but it sounded too foreign. “She said, ‘He’s from Lebanon.’ Oh, Lebanon! My mind immediately started thinking, ‘Wait a minute, maybe his religious persuasion is different than mine!’ She could see the look on my face and she said, ‘Don’t worry, Mr. Cain, he’s a Christian from Lebanon.’”

Upon hearing that news, the former Godfather’s CEO pizza said, “Hallelujah! Thank God.”

2. The sheer stupidity that these bigots readily admit to is unbelievable...
I'm scheduled for surgery next week with a Dr. Shaloum, and I don't give a rat's ass where he came from or which God he chooses to pray to.

5. That's okay, when I found out Herman's last name was Cain, I thought he might be into fratricide.
God, that man is a dumbass.

10. Let's see -- that's why Jesus denigrated the good Samaritan, right?
I have no doubt that Dr. Abudullah is a Christian -- but really, really doubt that Herman Cain is.

So, see, he still had a difference of religion. ;-)
