Rats on the Move

Hi! My name is Herman Cain and I didn't do it.
Out of the truly motley gaggle of people who are seeking the presidential nomination for the Republican party, none of whom can I possibly imagine in the White House, one has stood out as buffoon in chief. Admittedly a difficult choice for the title, nonetheless Herman Cain gets the honor. No need to recount the many reasons this guy won the title going away . . . well, maybe not going away because Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry were closely contesting the spot, rivaling Cain in the display of the unfathomable depths of their ignorance. Cain was busy doing this himself, but being ignorant is no bar to the presidency. He was kinda hanging on as a curiosity. The black Republican pizza king. That in itself was enough to keep the guy hanging around. But that was before a passel of cluster bombs fell on his head.

A couple of weeks ago, or was it longer? Doesn't matter. Cain was accused of sexual harassment by a number of women. These acts allegedly took place when he was the president of the National Restaurant Association. He has been dogged to death by these charges ever since. Nine-nine-nine has been bye-bye-bye. Till now all Cain has been doing is a pretty poor tap dance around these charges.

Now a nuke has been dropped. A woman in Atlanta named Ginger White has informed the world that she and Cain carried on an affair for the past thirteen years. The buffoon in chief has suddenly morphed into a big, scraggly rat. Do I need to tell you he denies the charge? And does it surprise you to learn that his campaign now reports that he is "reassessing" his run for the presidency. What are the odds do you think that he'll be in the race more than a couple of more days? He ducked a big shindig in NYC tonight with a bunch of media heavies, and reportedly a couple of his staffer rats are deserting the sinking ship and going over to the King Rat: Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich! Can anyone believe that this despicable clown is the best they can find? I have not mentioned Mitt Romney, whom you would think would be the beneficiary of all this, but it's apparent that there's a fairly determined segment of the GOP, not clear how big a segment, who cannot abide Romney. He's an oily, lying bastard who's changed his position on so many issues, he cannot remember where and what he said a week ago. So the beat goes on. Is there a woodwork candidate for the Republicans? Rats are all that's left in the daylight.

Actually, the GOP used to have principles. I didn't agree with them, but they did have them. What we have come to is a Republican party with no shred of principles motivated solely by lust for office. It has sold itself completely to the corporate interests who own the party lock, stock, and barrel. This is not to say the Democrats are not owned, but they are not yet completely owned.

Mr. Cain cannot step aside, for he is one of those who was "told by God" to run for the presidency.
Not being privy to a whole lot of divine emails and textings, I have to assume God wanted him to run in order to win.

If God had actually wanted Herman Cain to run for president in order to make a fool of himself, that would be much too much like the obscure Delphic oracles of pre-Christian antiquity...

Mr. Romney has merely become adept at the hypocrisy of vote gathering. The biggest problem with Romney would be the riff-raff he would bring along on his coat tails... more Cantors and deMints and clowns like Bachmann who were in favor of default.

That would be an enormous problem.

However, I believe I once said that it was not 2012 - all respect to the ancient Mayans - but 2013 that would be the "Kick Ass" age foretold of by prophets and children recently in hospital...

I really cannot believe there's anything left to the Cain campaign, politely so-called. I was not aware that Cain was another GOP candidate called by God to run. That's about three or four, isn't it? My question is, is God playing games by calling more than one? or is he just rolling the dice as a joke. I've always been convinced he had a sense of humor.
