A few weeks ago, I publicly declared we weren't going to seriously follow the Cain campaign anymore. I am breaking that vow for obvious reasons. Today, in a performance as obtuse as it was narcissistic, Herman Cain announced that he was "suspending" his bid for the American Presidency.
Over the course of what Rachel Maddow called his "performance art" campaign, Cain did provide the nation with two valuable contributions; We discussed widely, and for the first time in the broader critical community, the possibility of implementing a "flat tax." His "999" plan helped educate the American people to the fact that flat tax proposals are little more than schemes to benefit paternalistic, crony Capitalism and to further the creation of an American aristocracy. They always have been. What's more, Cain's run allowed the voters of this country to see just how vicious the "family-values" party is willing to be (as shown HERE, HERE,HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE) when they aren't exploiting the peccadilloes of liberal womanizers when their predations are made public.
That the final straw for the GOP base seems to have been an alleged consensual extramarital relationship and not the allegations of harassment and possibly even sexual assault against numerous women should give us all pause. Barbara J. Risman addresses this HERE.
Cain still refuses to take any responsibility whatsoever. He just can't seem to "blame himself."
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Cain Watch - "Manly Man" Pizza? Seriously?
Nov 14th, 2011
Okay. That's it. Barring some wildly more insane display than we have already had to endure (I know, maybe it could happen), we are ending our running series on the artist formerly known as Herman Cain with this one:
"The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is. Because the more manly man is not afraid of abundance. A manly man don’t want it piled high with vegetables! He would call that a sissy pizza."
Enough. No more Cain Watch. Unless and until he starts singing the Star Spangled Banner naked, in public while rubbing anchovies all over himself? We... Are... DONE.

Wow. Jeff Spross adds this withering look at Cain's bumbling in light of today's "Libya moment."

Cain Watch - God Told Him To?
Nov 12th, 2011
Taking a page from Paddy Chayefsky, Herman Cain has actually finally channeled Howard Beale. Literally. Speaking to a gathering of "young Republicans" in Atlanta,Ga. today, Mr. Cain told the audience he decide to run President of the United States after God told him to. This is not parody.
Via National Journal:
"I prayed and prayed and prayed. I’m a man of faith, I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I’d ever done before in my life. And when I finally realized that it was God saying that this is what I needed to do, I was like Moses. 'You’ve got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?'"
Sleep tight.
