On October 13, while posing tough-minded questions to republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain — a leading candidate for the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year award — American Mustache Institute Chairman Dr. Aaron Perlut announced that AMI has endorsed the man who would be the first Mustached American major party presidential candidate since Thomas E. Dewey in 1948.

Questioning Cain on CNN’s superlative new “Out Front” program hosted by Erin Burnett, future President Cain’s 999 plan and overall vision for America clearly aligns with many aspects of AMI’s political agenda, not including the long sought after Mustached American Tax Incentive seeking a $250 tax refund to any person of Mustached American heritage.

Specifically, AMI believes Cain’s presidency will lead America to prosperity because:

• Mr. Cain would be the first Mustached American President of the United States since William Howard Taft, thus inspiring a new generation of good looking and fearless Mustached American leadership and public service.
• Mr. Cain has stated that stupid people are ruining America, and in fact, Dave Navarro has made America a laughing stock since his Rock Star Super Nova days.
• Mr. Cain has pledged his belief in creationism, and the fact remains that Mustached Americans did create bacon, fear, good looks, and the fist-bump.
• Mr. Cain is an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta, and therefore understands what it directly states in the Dead Sea Scrolls (and is referenced in Leviticus and the Book of Mormon): “Each time a mustache is shaved, an angel in heaven dies and falls to earth.”
• As a result of Mr. Cain’s position as chair and chief executive of Godfather’s Pizza, today the pizza delivery profession is in the top 3 of most Mustached American professions.
• Cain’s style is indicative of the sexually adventuresome Mustached American Lifestyle, which allows precious little time for reading complex documents about law, policy, or government fluff — and Cain has pledged not to sign any bill longer than three pages.
• Finally, that a dream-team Vice Presidential choice of The Rent Is Too Damn High party chieftan Jimmy McMillan would be unbeatable.

Whether or not Herman Cain makes a campaign stop in Chicago at ‘Stache Bash 2011 on Oct. 28, he can feel comfort in knowing he has the support of the American Mustache Institute and Mustached American community overall.
