The Cain Stain

Well, it looks like the latest allegations against Herman Cain, that he had a 13  year affair with a lady from Gilligan’s island (O.K., they’re both named Ginger, lame joke, just keep going), may have finally derailed the Cain train.  It’s rather amazing that news of a consensual affair between

She asked for extra pepperoni, and she got it

consenting adults of opposite  sexes should bring down his candidacy, when his  reaching up a girl’s  skirt without her permission didn’t, but that’s the Republicans for you.

It seems even more amazing that his campaign didn’t tank when he answered  the question about Libya so badly that it should have been clear to anyone watching that he was not, in fact,  smarter than a 5th grader.  His campaign also should have been finished when it was made  public that he plagiarized his 999 plan from the Sims, or when he made that absurd comment  about You becky becky becky stan stan.

But it wasn’t.  This should tell everybody something about the intelligence level of Republican voters.  Worse yet, Cain was not a fluke.

Before him, it was Rick Perry, who couldn’t remember which 3 branches of government he wanted to eliminate, even though that’s his major plan to reduce government spending.  The Republican voters were not bothered at all by the fact that his response to a drought was to pray for rain, or that he once called for Texas to secede from the union.

Before  that it was Donald Trump, who decided to be a birther long after being a birther was anything close to cool.

Before Trump, it was Bachmann, the crazy eyed lady with the husband who’s figured out how he can spend all his time with gay men and still  be right in the eyes of homophobic Jesus.  Bachmann, who got John Wayne  confused with John Wayne Gacy  , New Hampshire with Massachusetts,  and  Paul Revere with the Salvation Army.

Basically, the Republicans are stuck with unrepentant liar Mitt Romney, serial philanderer  and disgraced  speaker Newt Gingrich, or crazy old man Ron Paul.  It’s pretty amazing.  By Iowa, there  will be nobody left.

    Republicans are a sad bunch. My aunt sent an email decrying the link between the ownership of the park in which the OWS protesters are camped and some rigged elections – can’t recall which, but it implicated the Dems – in response to which I provided five links regarding the 2004 Ohio presidential election rigging.

    She apologized for including me on her email and swore it would not happen again.

    Gotta love family, eh?

  2. The stupidity is coming in from this bunch so fast and furious it is hard to keep up. I missed Perry’s statement the other day, urging everyone who is 21 and over to get out and vote. And he got the election date wrong, too.
