Idiot of the Week

Herman Cain

Looks like the HUMAN SHIELD against racist accusations for Republicans has quit before the primary. I honestly thought he was going to stay in longer, but he quit Saturday. In retrospect, did anybody really take his candidacy that seriously besides the few crazies out there? I mean 9-9-9? What the fuck? Not knowing about Libya? Creepy aide who smokes? "Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan?" China will get nukes? Let's not forget his Islamophobia. Of course then there is the sexual harassment while he was in charge of Godfathers Pizza (mafia connection too?). And let's not forget his lack of political experience. The same people who say Obama was not in office long enough are perfectly fine with Cain. His highest office was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City 1995-1996. He also ran unsuccessfully for other offices.

Now that he has quit, it will pave the way for either Romney, Gingrich, or Perry. I'm still hoping for Perry because he is the weakest of the three at the general election level, but I believe can win over most the Republican bases. But whoever it is will be beat by Obama and despite his flaws needs to be reelected.
