Wonder who will be least bad tonight.
I am beginning to like this guy Cain. I don't think he ever expected to win. He clearly hasn't a clue about anything to do with being a President. Never heard of the neocons. Laughable idea about taxes, but hey, he's a pizza guy. He doesn't expect to be President. Probably doesn't want to be. But he sings well and wants to sell books and plans to become a better known talk radio show host. And hey, this is a great way to get free publicity.
And so the GOP's nomination process has come to mimic their philosophy. Making money any which way is all that really matters: even the solemn choice of their candidate to lead the Republic has been turned into a dog and pony show with which to try to make a buck or two.
It's kinda funny. Herman surely knows that he doesn't get to make jokes; he himself is the joke - the joke incarnate. His place in the contest is the very manifestation of humour. It tells you all you need to know about the contest.
