The Brother from Another Mother

Herman Cain keeps pumping them out, one outrageous  statement after  the next, the sex scandal didn’t  even slow the  Cain train  down,  the charges of  massive fund  raising violations are  already  forgotten  as the juggernaut hurtles  down the track.   His latest is  “I’m the Koch

Also, he didn't know that China has nuclear weapons

brothers’ brother from another mother.”  Said it twice.  The crowd went crazy.

Let’s think about that.  The Koch brothers are big  billionaires,   they own Brawny paper towels and a whole bunch of  other companies.  And  Herman Cain is proud to  know them.  That’s not so bad.   There are plenty of billionaires I’d like to get to know and whom I’d probably find quite agreeable.  But what have the Kochs done to endear them so much to presidential candidate Herman Cain?  They have not used their billions to alleviate the misery of mankind.   They  have not   done anything particularly patriotic.   They bankrolled the Tea Party, which might not seem like such a big deal any more, but they got a lot of ultra-conservative  governors in, and  they’re doing a lot of damage.

But, still, he sticks up for his friends and I guess that’s a positive trait.  It’s the “brother from another mother” quote that freaks me out.  What the hell does that even mean?  I  suppose he could have meant  something about how     we are all brothers, in this grand and glorious  family of man, but it   came across sounding ghetto.

Really, you’ve got to  watch the video, though.   Pappy Joe doing the   vertical  clap there in the audience is a real hoot.
