Republican AZ state senator Lori Klein says all the women are lying because Herman Cain has never hit on her and she's a hottie. http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/updates/2208
I meant reputation as in the kind that gets him a job as CEO of a big industry association. He might still have cache with the right wing, but he's lost that nice affable businessman cred with the middle. Also, he's "reassessing his campaign" because all this time, his wife thought he couldn't get laid with all those women he was laying sexual advances on. Everything's changed now.
I think it's a disgrace that with 9% unemployment, the current GOP trying to put satirists out of work.
I wasn't aware of Charlie Pierce until the Penn State scandal hit, but I like his style: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/herman-cain-drop-out-6602188
I've always wondered why people run for office when they have such obnoxious skeletons rattling around in the closet waiting for just the right moment to jump out. Did it never occur to Cain that just one of these women would come forward between the time he announced his candidacy and the end of his second term as president? In a lot of ways I think it sucks because it significantly lowers the quality of candidates we get (for example, I would never, ever run for anything ever lest my wife finds out about all the bad things I did before I met her.) On the other hand, I stand in wonder at how dumb Cain must be for not seeing this coming down the tunnel like an express train.
This thread is still up? I thought the liberal minions had gotten this guy taken care of by now! On to bigger and better things!
From everything I've seen and heard of this guy he's (i) not very bright; and (ii) arrogant. Not a good combination for someone with his purported history who chooses to run in a primary election.
diff strokes for diff folks, she has all the makings of a hermiette to me! sorry doc, i'll have to spread some rep around and get back to you on this one!
actually this HHBL* looks much more ginger whitish (or does one say ginger whitey?) than the actual ginger white, who is more of a betty, with hints of mabel. *hunka hunka burnin' luv
AB, when are you gonna figure this out? besides being as fond of a good laugh as the average joe, librul minyuns are praying to their che posters every night that nuthin' happens to dear old hermie. he's comic gold now, as gop candidate he would be electoral gold. hmmm... it seems to me that if candidacies were declared online, the page wouldn't validate unless you clicked the button: i have read the terms and agreements and delare that i am both (i) and (ii).
He's the author of this book, which isn't the sort of diatribe it sounds like. Well worth reading. He's also always great when he's on NPR's show, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
In regards to Lorti Klein, well, she is a jewel of a woman!!! From Tuscon Weekly Klein suggested that if Cain is innocent he should sue White for libel and went on to attack the media for digging up the allegations. She also said that in politics, "we want a virgin to do a hooker's job." Food for thought: DSLs for the wobble
You know what's funny? Gingrich, an avowed cheater and womanizer getting a bump in the polls because of Cain's affair. Freaking "conservatives" crack me up.
To be fair, most of Cain's undoing was his failed attempts at affairs. Primary voters prefer better cheaters.
Give Cain credit, when he did score he delivered. It sounded as if Ms. White quite enjoyed the whole affair. A man who can satisfy his own wife while also satisfying another woman ... for the firs time, Cain is seeming Presidential.
I quite liked that excerpt posted by That Phat Hat ... but now I'm wondering if he's the guy on WWDTM with that awful overly-loud guffawish laugh? If so: Blech.
I like that he calls him Herb instead of Herman, repeatedly. Herb Caen was a gossip columnist for the SF Chronicle for many years. Quite an obscure reference.
Bill Clinton should jump into the GOP race! Mofo would kill! BTW I wonder who hooked up with the ugliest girl, Cain or Clinton?
