Beginning…about now.
PILE ON!
****
update: Cain notes that severance agreement differs from settlement for sexual harassment. Maintains his innocence. Believes that the leak came from another campaign.
He also laughed at a litany of racial criticisms leveled at him by liberals, put together in a montage. Says they just don’t like a black man who thinks for himself.
****
update 2: I liked this bit, which Cain uttered unselfconsciously: “As a conservative, running for the Republican nomination…”
As to why the Cain campaign blamed the Perry campaign: Anderson has connection to Politico and started working for the Perry campaign. He would have been privy to the info, having worked for Cain. But Cain said he took his cues from the Forbes piece.
Actually Hannity would be a good forum for Cain.
I can’t help but disagree with Hannity as to his claim that Cain’s campaign is hanging in the balance right now. But then, I look at Hannity as a type of media simpleton who thinks himself otherwise.
Why can’t Republican sex scandals at least include sex? That’d be much more interesting.
Say, getting a Lewinsky after dealing cocaine. Now THAT would be a sex scandal I’d love to see Diane Sawyer weep through.
Hannity is no Rush. If Rush = Michael, Hannity = Fredo. But Hannity has been defending Cain over the past week.
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/acting_like_dweeble_CldpZXKcPtmDL4pxOjGP1L Meanwhile, Mitt is still Mitt. When Huntsman can mock you effectively, you know how fucked we are.
It’s a strange defense that would throw up a portrait of a political condition Hannity can’t possibly be privy to, is all, Joe.
Will Cain be subjected to a mind-numbing sequence of excluded middle questions from The Hannitizer? When he gets into “Yes or No” cross-examination time, it sets my teeth on edge.
I find Hannity difficult to listen to. However, I had to run some errands yesterday and he was on teh radio with Marc Lamont Hill and Starr Jones talking abo Herman Cain. It was actually pretty interesting after you filtered out all of the crosstalk and Marc Lamont Hill trying to speedtalk and repeat himself ad nauseum in his attempt to fill Cornell West’s empty suit.
sdferr, I do not disagree. Just that Hannity is not Michael Medved.

Oh, now that’s just adorable. Here’s a better idea: pick out a nice house on the lake, and live there. If the rightful owners* show up one day, pick another nice house on the lake.
* Little pieces of paper are somebody else’s problem.
Cain followed by Karl Rove, whose only advice was for Cain to give Politico what it wanted —fill in the blanks on their innuendo laced, anonymous 2nd & 3rd hand sourced hit piece.
Yeah Karl, having the NRA black out the names of the complainants and release all the documents would have protected their anonymity while preventing the story from going longer than a single news cycle. That’s the ticket!
A distinction has been drawn, not so long ago, between the ruling class and the ruled. It used to be easy for Americans to elide such a distinction, since after all, the principles of our national compact preclude it, by definition. Over time though, as we’re all too aware today — having had our backsides burnt by their antics — the forms and measures of our compact have eroded to be replaced by a characteristically European style of “democracy”, a democracy of them and us, them the rulers, and us the cattle.
Events like this trashing of Herman Cain are always something more than they seem on the surface. For my part, the takeaway “something more” is a sorting process. I am sorting those who understand themselves as the knowers vis a vis Mr Cain and company (though they do not seem to be possessed of the self-knowledge enabling them to see themselves as I see them! They haven’t figured out that the sorting is on.) and those who understand what and who it is the Mr Cain represents.
Why should the rulers, or those who would want to be rulers, care? They have made the question a question of will, is why. We people have begun to engage at the level of will. Since the rulers insist, we seem to be bent to accommodate them.
Ass of Speds has declared Cain guilty and Politico vindicated.
Musta gotten a whiff of a place on the Romney campaign.

Is that coming from experience? Is that what Rove did with Fitzpatrick?

Sounds like somebody doesn’t know his place. And that somebody is you.
No eye contact!

sdferr,
I think you’ve struck on a big part of the reason why the Tea Party has been hounded so mercilessly since its inception. The last thing the Ruling Elite want to see is a large group of people marching and making speeches that keep up the chorus “We Are Americans! We Are Free! We Will Not Be Ruled!”
The thought of their divine right of rule over us is so taken for granted at this point that they simply can’t bear having it questioned. Not least because their answers to such questions, were they to see the light of day in their unvarnished glory, would come up very, very short.
Unfortunately for them, we really won’t be ruled, and they’re running out of resources with which to buy off the squishes. If any of them had half a brain, they’d be getting out now, while the getting is good. The ones who remain are likely to see the business end of my torches and pitchforks, if they’re lucky. Any of those rotten bastards tries to hold out to the bitter end, he’s liable to swing from a lamppost. (Note to any LA County Ass DA’s: I’m not advocating; merely observing. And I’m certain that if the recalcitrant ruler is Jewish or black or otherwise protected, we’ll let him go with a stern talking-to, because we’d hate to have our character questioned in public by our moral superiors.)
ace should have gotten a carfax for perry
So so terribly true. Or in the alternative, take some simple lessons from men who understand the meaning of the compact: let go your will to power, silly greedy-graspers, and prosper. Listen to Mr. Cain. Listen to Mr. Ryan. Listen to Gov. Daniels. Listen to Gov. Walker. Listen to Gov. Kasich.
These people all, instantly and in nearly every political decision they make, remember for whom it is they work. It really isn’t all that hard.
Perry’s a done deal. It’s cause of his faith I guess if you’re to believe his wifey-poo.
If you even need a reason.
Cain going legal?
Popcorn!
Robert Conrad as Pappy Boyington on Baa Baa Black Sheep was kind of cool too.
..except for that gay form-fitting flight suit
Ace’s transmogrification into an LGF-ish character is just about complete. All he needs now are too-tight bike shorts and a new Schwinn.
Who didn’t love the Corsair (besides the poor blokes who tried carrier landings before the Brits figured it out)? What a piece.
Cain’s Vow To ‘Finger Source Of Leak’ Prompts Fresh Harassment Charges
Ace is just doing the best he can but he needs to understand that people were desperate-assed desperate when they leaped on Perry like he was a spicy and flavorful corn chip but they’ve experienced Perry now and they find him lacking in certain qualities that would inspire them to ever cast a vote for him in this lifetime.
If you throw Cain under the bus you get Romney.
Done and done.

The weird thing about AoSHQ to me, feets, is that nobody says anything about money…except commenters. The anti-Paul mania fits well with the site’s general ignorance of the subject, led by Malor.
Then Monty shows up and with the Doom series, virtually defines the subject on and for
rightRepublican sites.How this all gets along in one space without blowing out the Internet amazes me.
I think B-dub has something… there is indeed a whiff of Chucky floating around Ace’s place.
I barely click over there unless someone links just cause their material tends to be duplicative
btw nobody in the real world is talking about Newt
that should just be noted here
well this is the innertubes: go mr. newt please pontificate!
Newt can talk purty. I just don’t trust him to follow through on any of it.
at this point I could vote for Newt no problemo
they’ve worn me down
How long is it until the Iowa caucus?
Dunno B. Moe, but Ohio has an important date with the voting booth next Tuesday, and the recent polling seems to say that Gov. Kasich’s legislation is going to lose. fie
61 Days.
“he recent polling seems to say that Gov. Kasich’s legislation is going to lose.”
i wonder how l’affair cain affects tea party types in ohio?
Of course SB5 is gonna lose, sdferr. Kasich wants to kill children and see Gramma burn because all the police, firemen and EMT’s will be fired fired fired. Oh yeah, teachers too. Yes on Issue 2 means that roving gangs of illiterate arsonist hooligans will begin raping your next door neighbor.
I know it’s true because those nice AFL-CIO and CWA people used my tax money to take out ads telling me so.
It’s a good question mewrouter. Here’s hoping it puts a charge into ’em, and they work to drag their otherwise reluctant friends to the polls.
Oof, sorry, newrouter I meant. Proofing would help.
Like such as whom for instance as by way of example??
….Daniels??… T-Paw??…or She-Who-Shall-Never-Be Counten-nced_by-The Smart-Set?
HUCKLEFVCK, even??
I think the last Presidential election pretty much blew that Secret Patriot theory all to fucking hell.

Hayek, cited by Stephen Hayward in his ongoing series of posts on The Constitution of Liberty at Powerline:
Saw that too newrouter and it’s bullshit. It’s not secret patriotism, it’s New Class elitism. (“Woefully unready” somebody had to take him down.”) They’re not called The Deciders for nothing.
Other than that, it was an interesting read.
More than nothing? That shouldn’t be hard for a fellow like Byron to come up with, should it?
“Here’s hoping it puts a charge into ‘em, and they work to drag their otherwise reluctant friends to the polls.”
2009-2010 tea party types had the warm up with false charges.
I would probably be a Secret Patriot too, given the opportunity.
I’m holding out for Double Secret Patriot.

Will probably have a cameo appearance in the 3rd season before being hacked to bits with an ice axe in Mexico.
Still, I look foward to the second season which will feature predominantly snow hippies. (snippies?) Looks to be very promising.

you talking about the black guy that mslsd portrayed as a white guy megan?

yo credentialed chick: maybe that’s purpose. OUTLAW or armadillos or rockfor.
Followed @58’s link thinking to find Meghan McCain; instead, Insty’s girlfriend. Who is a couple-three overstuffed tour busses mentally heavier than the former.
Because those busses are equipped with professional fainting couches.
Wait, whoever organized this should have made sure everyone who decided to wander in was working according to script?

Yes, ‘feets, you’ve got that right.
Best to get one of your own and become proficient with it, and soonest.
An old Tejas boy like yourself should have some experience with a hogleg. Not in LA of course; but you do have one squirreled away for later ?
As I pointed out here, Perry is the only candidate I see who is actually willing to get the Feds back to their proper sphere. If that’s important.
