"One of the weirdest moments of last night's Republican debate probably slipped completely under the radar for most viewers. This moment occurred in Herman Cain's closing statement, when the former pizza-chain CEO recited a favorite inspirational quote:

"A poet once said, 'life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line.'"

Nothing strange about that on the surface, until you Google the quote and you realize that these words of wisdom were uttered not by a poet, but by disco queen Donna Summer in her song "The Power of One." Even more bizarre, this isn't even one of Summer's classic hits — she recorded it just over a decade ago as the theme song for Pokémon: The Movie 2000.

Is it possible that Cain knew the origins of the quote and was just utilizing some extremely dry humor when he referred to its author, Donna Summer, as "a poet"? Probably not!"

Or the most realistic thing, someone found that quote and told him to use it since it sounds really good in context.

He should have quoted Polkamon instead.

I wish I had watched the debate last night now, I probably would've died laughing when I heard it.

Except I'd be dead from watching the debate already.
