Esquire? You went to a gay men’s fashion site for psychological information to slag Cain with? And you wonder why people think Perry’s glee club is less than honest?
One can also say that it’s simply a manner of speech and that sometimes, Bill Clinton excepted, a cigar is just a cigar.
And BTW, Cain’s still leading.
And don't forget those Greek temple columns (which are probably mouldering in some Hollywood warehouse by now).
