I agree. So why is Herman Cain participating in this? Was he ever conservative, or ever serious about running for POTUS? Maybe Cain's candidacy was a form of ridicule and mockery also. It certainly played out that way.
My feelings exactly: Why is Cain lending his presence to Colbert’s ongoing stunt-as-career?
Colbert reminds me a bit of a political version of Cindi (sp) Lauper, the 80s singer, in that “it’s all an act” — the entire persona is made up. She didn’t REALLY talk that way.
One difference was, Lauper actually had some singing and video-making talents. In contrast, does ANYone who’s not already a lefty enjoy Colbert’s shtick?
“I agree. So why is Herman Cain participating in this? ...”
My guess is that Cain is like most who venture into politics, an attention whore. Now that no one is interested in Herman Cain, he appears to be desperate to get into the limelight.
Newt sat on a couch with the queen of evil for a shot at the limelight.
Politician = attention whore.
Herman Cain is a player. But, he tossed us a little red meat to swallow, and we are suckers for a silver tongue with no record. E-V-E-R-Y T-I-M-E.
