Herman Cain was just kidding. Again.

A Cain spokesperson tells Chris Cillizza that the Republican was only joking when he said he asked Henry Kissinger, who last served government during Gerald Ford’s administration, to serve as his Secretary of State should Cain become president.

“Cain spokesman says Cain did not actually ask Kissinger to be his Secretary of State,” Cillizza tweeted. More from the spokesperson: “Cain was joking about Kissinger as Secretary of State.”
