Herman Cain Jabs Back at Today Show Host Who Questions His Qualifications

(By Geoffrey Dickens, NewsBusters.org) - On Monday's 'Today' show, substitute host Savannah Guthrie got snippy with GOP presidential contender Herman Cain as she played up his lack of time in government as a negative and demanded of the former head of the Godfather's pizza chain: "If you were still a CEO, if you were in business, would you hire someone for a key role who had no experience whatsoever in business?"

For his part, Cain jabbed back that his experience as a businessman, away from the Beltway, was exactly what government needed now.
