Will Herman Cain go for Bachmann’s cooz? Pull Rick Santorum’s head toward his crotch? Tune in to find out!

Some of my conservative friends (or, even conservatives who hate me and wouldn’t mind seeing someone punch me in the sack with a roll of quarters or a frozen game hen) are starting to accept and repeat by rote this idea that the sheer number of women who’ve come out to accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment is “troubling” and suggestive — though many of them allow that this number

The plan appears to be to refuse compromise, then blame the GOP for failure to compromise. A new dosage of the same old tactics. And bless our heart if the very same “sane” Republicans who now presume to tell us who is electable weren’t several months back telling us we had to make a deal with the Democrats and the President that would give him more money to spend, the

This whole primary system is getting silly, don’t you think? What with all the unelectable candidates we have to go through and rule out? I say from hereon out we just let David Brooks pick the nominee. At least then we’ll have someone professional doing the selecting, and someone professional selected. And then we can have a smoothly run professional political machine, where politics is handled professionally by people trained

What? No “one free grope”? Question for “DC insider” Jimmy: you didn’t happen to see his pants on fire, did you? Because that would just seal the deal for me. (h/t Weasel Zippers)

And? Related: I once shook Oprah’s hand at a book signing and told her that she had really helped me come to know myself and love me. But when I showed up at her gate in Santa Barbara, bitch acted like she didn’t even know me. Fine. Set your security guards on me. But I’ll tell you one thing: that’s the last time I ever bake you a zucchini bread,

Yet another reason to cut the size of government: you’ll cut the size of people who work for government, and reduce the number of opportunities for people doing government work to use it as a bridge to crony enrichment. Or I guess you could just pay public sector employees twice as much in wage and compensation as private sector employees make on average, and thereby take away the temptation. Either

James Joyner Doug Mataconis, “Herman Cain Goes For the “Nuts Or Sluts” Defense”: The press conference, for the most part, struck me as a train wreck. The “I don’t remember” defense isn’t an explicit denial even though that’s how Cain wants us to take it, and characterizing a single mother of a 13 year old boy as “troubled” and part of a Democratic conspiracy is the kind of paranoia one

Seems like there might be a pattern forming after all. Just not the ones we’ve been told should “concern” us. Then, of course, there’s the bit we’re being fed about Ms Kraushaar being an “Republican independent.” You know, the kind whose sole political donation, in 2009, went to the DNC services corp. And finally, why no EEOC claims? Are there no reporters out there willing to ask labor legal experts
