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.

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.

Frum On The Fox/Cain Spin Job
Nov 9th, 2011
David Frum may have been substantially more polite than we were in analyzing Fox News' astounding campaign against the Cain accuser(s), but, he is no less indignant:
"It’s telling that the central communications network of the conservative world remains–for all its professed concerns about the war against Christmas–much more “Mad Men” than 700 Club in its attitude to women. On Fox, women exist as talking pinups, their opinions valued to the extent that their legs are shapely and their hair is blonde. Increasingly it looks like Herman Cain may well share those attitudes much more than the faith-and-family culture of the Christian conservative who plumped his poll numbers over the past weeks."
Hear hear. What Fox, along with Limbaugh, have set in motion is nothing short of program-directed misogyny. And for what? To promote and defend, without all the facts, an uniformed fringe candidate about whom a case can be made that he is punking the electorate.
