And yet again, the evil liberal hyena smear machine destroys a decent GOP candidate... Herman Cain, this paragon of reason, intellect and great leadership skills, and the voice of all real black people in America (read: those who aren't elitist secret communism-worshiping Kenyan Muslims), the man who knew what true love is and how it should be given to everyone who wants it (and even to some who do not), this god of the most divine pizza, the creator of genius economic plans containing three repeating digits in them, and the man who would solve all our problems through a simple three-page plan...

...He has quit the game. It's a fact. Today, he announced that he's leaving the race. The Librul Lamestream Media™ has prevailed once more, leaving the conservative flock pondering at the dilemma:

Shall we be turned into a Newt? Or shall we embrace our own version of The Hussein, the Mormon guy who comes right out of Taxachusetts, the home of the original Obamacare?

The decision should be more than clear, folks. All our faith is with The Newt, now. Let's say goodbye to the guy who did not NOT have sexual relationship with that woman... and the other one... and the other... and that one too... And nominate for our new leader the guy who actually had a sexual relationship with that woman, and the other, while being married, and while advocating for family values and the sanctity of marriage, while banging ladies all around, while his wife was struggling against cancer. The king of pizza sexual abuse is gone -- long live the king of adultery!

And Mr Mormon? Your turn shall come, one day, some day. Maybe after Jesus comes back to his Native American friends again, who knows.

Brick Tamland: [voice quavering] I heard somewhere their periods attract bears. The bears can smell the menstruation!
Brian Fantana: [somberly] Well that's just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy.

That's harsh.

You are saying that the Pokemon theme song lacks poetic value. That is not fair to the author of the song.

What will the media do when John Huntsman is the Last Man Standing -- especially if they've already burned out the Mormon angle?

One can never burn out the Mormon angle. It bends in on itself and comes back. Standard geometry, yo!

Of course, there was absolute proof he was guilty while we only got accusations with Cain.

I know my vote won't be going to Michele "pray the gay away" Bachmann. I don't even think it'll go to Newt or Romney, but it's too soon for me to say that now. I like Cain because he didn't deal in political double-speak B.S. He didn't pull any punches. For as much as people wanted to discount him as a joke, this never would have happened if he wasn't somehow a threat to the other candidates.

It can be very difficult to prove sexual harassment, rape, abuse, etc. What do you want; taped confessions or furtive audio tapes in a womans purse?

That would be fantastic. But I'll settle for texts, e-mails, other witnesses. You know, beyond "He said, she said." Oh, and rape and abuse tend to leave physical proof and aren't among the accusations in this case. Bringing them up really just imflames things.

Their professional integrity as reporting something like this can be the kiss of death for professional women- well, women from all walks of life.

"Can" being the key word. More than one person has reaped benefits from having a hand in a shady accusation. Also, their emotional losses are only a factor if the UNPROVEN accusations are true.

And here I thought we lived in a society that valued "innocent until proven guilty." Must have missed the "if you're accused then you must have done it" memo.

But please enjoy continuing to think that my desire for proof before proclaiming someone guilty is a flaw in my character. Toodles!

THIS.

If he *HONESTLY* believed his family shouldn't have been subjected to the public eye, much less inquiry of any kind, for a party that expects it's White House figurehead to be pure as new-fallen snow, then there's only
one word to describe him.

F-O-O-L.

The man is an utter fool.

He is not a quitter.

If you're going to attack the man there's nothing like the proper weapon to do the job. Put down your herring and pick up the sword. For one thing, why keep harping on the fact that Herman Cain was once the CEO of Godfather's Pizza? He actually did a good job with that. If you want to piss off both the TEA Party and Occupy Wall Street why not make the equally factual observation that Herman Cain was the chairman of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City? Agree with the Fed or not, you've got to admit that this makes him more of an insider than his stint at Godfather's does.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
