In a move that immediately had the Twitter-sphere reeling in apparent disbelief, Herman Cain on Wednesday coined a new nickname for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: "Princess Nancy."
Cain, speaking at CNBC's Republican presidential debate in Michigan, was referencing a Republican health reform plan that stalled in committee because "Princess Nancy sent it" there.
"The legislation has already been written," Cain said when asked to present an alternative to the Obama health reform bill. "H.R. 3000. In the previous Congress it was H.R. 3400. And what that does -- it has already been written."
But, he said, "We didn't hear about it in the previous Congress because 'Princess Nancy' sent to it committee and it stayed there. It never came out."
Commenters on Twitter immediately jumped on Cain's use of the term "Princess" - particularly in light of the recent sexual harassment allegations with which the candidate has been charged.

That’s bs. Princess is a nice term.
The total title is IAP....... Italian American Princess
I hope that’s not racist as is JAP
Am I the only one to think that Cain is a clown around here? I don’t think that calling her a Princess is sexual harassment; I think it’s dumb, that’s all.
Good writing doesn't use redundant phrases.
Calling her princess has the same message as Mark Bloch blowing smoke in our faces: We don’t care about PC crap.
That's a lot cleaner than my nickname for Pelosi...which cannot be posted here. Family site and all.
She does look like she has been kissing a lot of frogs.
Princess?
Yeah right—and all the politically incorrect humor Reagan was famous for really hurt HIS chances.
Are you reading or writing the DNC talking points?
1) Yes. 2) You have no sense of humor;)
That is exactly what I call her.
Hmmmm....so when the media obnoxiously roared that Sarah Palin was a ‘Diva’...was that a mark of a serial sexual harrasser too?
Hypocrites all!
You are kidding me right? Right? I just wish the Democrats would frame that in an ad?The rebuttal ads the opposition could do would be too sweet. Have you seen pictures of Pelosi carrying on? Even my die-hard Democrat mother-in-law hates Pelosi. Plastering Pelosi's face and words in front of the voters is an excellent thing everywhere except in California and Portland.
I am telling you Cain inspires passion. I like Gingrich a lot, but he just doesn’t make me want to donate money to him. Man if you can get me to part with some dollars you have got to be inspiring.
Melissa. donated $160 so far and I am on the monthly plan
I believe I’ve heard Sean Hannity refer to her as “Princess Pelosi” a number of times. What a misogynist! /s
Yep, name calling. Very presidential...
As Cain said, America needs to get a sense of humor.
Pelosi is nowhere near called a Princess in this household.
She would burn up lots of paper & ink trying to sue me for all the names I call her.
