| Description | "Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said in an interview with GQ out Monday that one can tell how "manly" a man is by looking at how many toppings he puts on his pizza. He also said a pizza covered in vegetables is a "sissy pizza."
"The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is," said the former Godfather's Pizza CEO.
Cain, laughing, then explained that "the more manly man is not afraid of abundance" before calling into question the manliness of a pizza with vegetables on it.
"A manly man don't want it piled high with vegetables! He would call that a sissy pizza," Cain said.
The interview was conducted while Cain sampled a variety of pizzas at a Washington restaurant in mid-October, before Politico first reported Oct. 30 that Cain had been accused of sexual harassment more than a decade ago. At one point, he said he preferred a pie with arugula on it, prompting an interviewer to say "one would think that you'd brand that one the sissiest pizza of them all."
"Well, you didn't let me finish answering the question the first time!" Cain responded, though the interview transcript does not suggest he was cut off. "It's not only abundance; it's taste. Okay? It's taste." Later, when a pizza covered in meat was brought to the table, Cain exclaimed, "NOW THAT'S A MANLY-LOOKING PIZZA!!" |
