Late Night Video — The Cain Train Wreck
This weekend’s news has been fascinated with the suspension of Herman Cain’s fake bid for the White House. Fake, because he was just opening a campaign HQ this weekend and still hasn’t actually staffed up to properly compete in either Iowa or NH. He *has* been furiously fundraising, selling books and managing his profile. Much like the Alaska grifter and all of the other GOP grifters looking for their pipeline of wingnut welfare, Herman was alot of sound and fury, signifiying nothing. Which ultimately qualified him to be the GOP frontrunner for one New York minute. And that “suspending” business seems to mean that Herman can still raise money.
Much fun is being had at Herman’s expense, not the least of which is SNL with their CainWreck skit on Saturday:
One more, this time from Elon James White (a very funny guy) — a tumblr called #HermanCainAsDrake.
And the Huffington Post has a sadly funny piece noting how Herman Cain quoted freely from the Pokemon movie:

I saw last night that Cain will endorse Newt Gingrich today. I suppose that means that Cain won’t still be raising money?
I find it interesting – most people have thought all along that Cain was in it to sell books and get a Fox gig. With all his personal baggage you have to wonder WTH Cain was thinking. Is he so arrogant that the thought it wouldn’t come out? Or did he never expect to be the frontrunner so no one would bother researching him? Seems like a big gamble.
It seems that running for President attracts a certain type of personality. John Edwards certainly put the Democratic nomination at risk by his own infidelity.
The Republican base though doesn’t give a damn about family values unless a Democrat isn’t living up to them.
