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

While there is a dispute as to whether or not video games are art, there is no doubt it is relevant in the realm of politics.

Okay, it doesn't get any funnier than when a politician quotes pokemon.

This election is entirely contingent on whether or not the candidates can catch 'em all!

If a politician were to say "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.", I don't care what party they are, I'm voting for them.

Awesome, that's all I gotta say. Pokemon ftw.

Quick, someone dig up Bush saying 'Gotta Catch 'em all!' about Terrorists!

And someone else find Obama saying 'We want cake! But the cake... It's a lie!'

And lastly, someone prepare for a Canadian Prime Minister to say 'It falls off sometimes!'
