No small irony in this story. Timex is GOP Insider Bill Bennett’s sponsor. Bill Bennett has joined the Cain attackers.

Tokyo Rove up next on FOX to slam Cain and declare him dead.

“Bill Bennett has joined the Cain attackers”

No real surprise here.

Not the first time Bill Bennett has attacked a conservative. Makes me wonder what is in it for him this time.

Then-Democrat Bill Bennett got his National Endowment for the Humanities job during the Reagan administration by savaging the scholarly Mel Bradford in order to get him out of the way.

It was one of the first political hit jobs by the neoconservative faction within the GOP and showed their true colors.

Mel Bradford’s defenders included John East, Jesse Helms, John Tower, Strom Thurmond, Jeremiah Denton, Dan Quayle Russell Kirk, Jeffrey Hart, William Buckley, Gerhart Niemeyer, Stanton Evans, Andrew Lytle, and even his old debating foe Harry Jaffa.

Bennett’s gang of character assassins included Bill Kristol and Norman Podhoretz. When it came to political street fighting the courtly Bradford and his defenders proved no contest to these thugs.

Bennett lost me when he was one of the Conservatives who spoke so highly of Obama in 2008. He though 0 would be wonderful for the USA

That tells you all you need to know about Bennett’s political judgements

GOP insiders better wake up. They help the Democrat machine lynch Cain like this, they may just buy themselves a Tea party challenger for 2012

The GOP might be the 1st major party since the 1800s to finish third in a Presidential race in 2012 if they don’t wake up.
