Is This The End For Cain

Herman Cain has again made headlines, but it is not for his poll rousing 9-9-9 plan, or his smooth talk in GOP debates.  A Georgia Businesswoman by the name of Ginger White has come out with the accusation that Herman Cain and she were involved in a thirteen year extra marital affair.  Herman Cain went on CNN before the story even aired and defended his self by stating that he had never had sex with Ms. White in the time that he had known her.  This is now the third woman to come out with a story of sexual misconduct against the former pizza executive; and just a week after Cain was filmed stumbling over a question of foreign affairs in Libya.  Is it time for the pizza boy to return to the kitchen?
The best bet for Cain at this point is to thank his supporters and to withdraw from the campaign trail.  He is running for a position that is held with the utmost honor and distinction; and to attempt to sway the American public that he is deserving of this honor and distinction will be about as impossible as Ndamukong Suh trying to convince more people he did not kick a player on national television.  Cain is not the first or last public figure to come under scrutiny because of sexual scandals (Clinton, Spitzer, Weiner).  But he would be one of the first to take sexual scandals into a high ranking office.  Which is why, in the minds of many it is time for Cain to take a step back, and give way to Gingrich and Romney.  With the tongue tied Perry, and the can’t keep it in his pants Cain.  This race has become a two headed monster being led by the old school politician Newt Gingrich and on his heels the ones conservatives fear Mitt Romney.  Should be an interesting race for the Republican nominee.

The Republican Candidates

The Republican Presidential Candidates

The Republicans are struggling to say the least.  They are struggling to find a leader who can challenge incumbent President Obama in the 2012 elections.  I thought it would be funny to compare the candidates as cartoon/sitcom characters so we could have  a better idea of who they are.

Herman Cain:  Herman is like the old pimp daddy uncle who waves his money around.  His character is Pepy la Pew.  Pepy was a smooth French speaking skunk that was hornier than a two year old dog.   Cain is like Pepy in that he acts inappropriately towards women as we have seen with the recent sexual harassment allegations against him.  They are also similar in that Pepy thought he was a smooth talker.  Only problem was Pepy didn’t know what he was talking about, like Cain.  Cain is somewhat articulate, he’s smart but he does not understand politics and policy, as his Libya answer construed days ago.
Rick Perry:  Perry is like the slow kid in class that everyone likes and uses because he’s older to get cigarettes.  The character that he best resembles ‘bullet head’ from the Steve Harvey Show.  Bullethead was slow dim whited but he always found a way to make you laugh.  That’s Perry whether it’s his N’ word hunting grounds, or his ‘oops’ on national TV.  He knows exactly how to make you saw, ‘awe he’s so dumb’. 
Newt Gingrich:  Newt is that old school politician.  He flips any and everything like he’s Young Jeezy in the kitchen (TM 103).  Because he is the elderly politician in the group I have to compare him to Matthew McConaughey’s character in Dazed and Confused (David Wooderson).  The guy who lives in the glory days and can’t wait to surround himself with younger woman.
Michelle Bachman:  Bachman reminds me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.  She says enough to keep herself out of trouble, but doesn’t say enough to make you really want to watch the show.  But still she appeals to you on some level because you feel you should watch.  Ehh it could be worse; it could Sarah Palin.
Mitt Romney:  Mitt should be the front runner in this race, but his Mormonism and healthcare bill are keeping him from reaching his potential.  I best compare him to Scottie Pippen.  No it’s not a cartoon or a sitcom, but Mitt seems like a great number #2.  Someone who a number one can lean on when he’s a little sick in game 5 of the 1998 Finals.  Someone who is dependable and understandable.  But not someone who can hold down the fort when the number 1 or 23 decides to retire.

Thoughts on Herman Cain


Your thoughts on the odd advertising of Republican Herman Cain?

One of the weirdest campaign ads I have ever seen!
