P-F, posting the truth about Herman Cain. Tsk-tsk-tsk! You’d probably point out the emperor’s nakedness if he strutted by!
Cainskeptimania is not permitted here, m’dear.
I have been acutely skeptical of him from the very first. (That would be the words, “Shucky ducky!!” whatever that means, and “Love YAWL!!”) When he put on those shades and announced his candidacy with that preamble, I saw a huckster, a vendor of shoddy goods; as wiki defines it, “a seller of small articles [like his experience in politics], who tricks others into buying cheap imitation products [like presidential Cain] and then bargains them as if they were the real thing [like a conservative].”
Sticking to the facts, quoting Cain verbatim, entreating people to go to links with their own ears and eyes, and heaven forbid preferring another candidate, is like trying to reason with a victim of ergotism.
Be patient and let nature run its course. Cain is a self-limiting candidate and the recovery rate should be 100%.
If this is actually found to be factual and not just another buried hit piece, then the Cain candidacy will be troubled indeed.
This is an understandable reaction to the we-know-better-than-you hyper academicism of the Obama administration. But it's an overreaction, and in my opinion it's gone way too far.
