Ha, ha, db. I liked Mario Piperni’s Obamaesque poster of Cain that says “Dope.” I really wonder what Cain’s shelf life is now that 4 women have reported sexual harassment and I wonder what the reaction of the GOP base will be if one or more of them turns out to be white. Of course, along with all the other ignorance he’s displayed, his not knowing that China already had nukes is unforgivable in someone running for president. Right now, Cain’s balloon is being kept afloat by Koch money, but I don’t think they’ll be betting on this dipstick long. He’s becoming too much of a public embarrassment even for Charles G. and David H. to stomach.

Okay RS,

You make jokes without trying. Is that the definition of talent?

But I’m nervous skating around the issue, wondering when I’ll cross over the line into appalling bad taste. Jon Stewart’s mockery of the multi-colored Obama possterm with the slogan “Hope”. Same poster, picture of Cain, with the slogan “Grope”?

Cain claims that the Perry Campaign released the story to kill his campaign. Headline ought to read, “Un-Able kills Cain”.

That connotation didn’t occur to me immediately, db; I was thinking more in terms of ‘he doesn’t know what happened’ yet he’s ‘hands-on.’ But it gave me a good, nasty chuckle when I thought of it, so thanks. There’s nothing like a double-edged joke.

RS,

Did you really mean to use the term “hands-on” CEO? Am I the only one with a filthy enough mind to think the use funny?
