That is a lie. Cain is not perfect in that regard either...did you already forget about the stone incident?
That was blown WAY out of proportion. He was ASKED if it was insenstive, before he knew that Chris Wallace's assumption was false (that Perry had left it that way). When he found that out he apologized to Rick. What West did was going out of his way to bash Cain, with little rationale, unless of course the party establishment told him to do so in order to get $$$ from the NRCC for his coming tough race.
