It sounds like the emergency brake is about to get pulled on the Cain Train.

Where’s the video?

i think someone forgot to link the Daily SHow video clip to the article ;)

oh now the clip is up :)

One time, I walked in on my dad giving my mom financial assistance.  My therapist says it’s normal to have funny feelings when I’m doing my taxes

So Cain is accused of sexually harassing  three women at work and his poll numbers go up and his donations go through the roof. Then he’s accused of having a *consensual* relationship with one woman for a number of years and suddenly conservatives are ready to throw him overboard.

How does the GOP mind work?

I really can’t wait for the Newt irony to creep out of the comedy shows and into the punditocracy.

Because that backpedaling, fact-blind mess will make this hilarity look like a dollar-beer open mic night.

You really have to wonder why the left would spend so much time and $ smearing a black republican that “never stood a chance” and was just a “token” conservative.

Did you forget which name you were posting under? ;)

for amusement

and the left isn’t smearing him, that’s his lady friends who are doing that.. we’re just laughing at the fact this complete buffoon had so many righties falling for his incompetent clownish act.

I think it was 4 actually :)

Can’t wait for Jon to do a take on Newt having oral sex with a neighbor in the driveway while his children walked by.

You have proof to Cains alleged affairs and harassment charges?

Did exGOP get caught?

As opposed to you that has a Palin obsession? Too funny.

Since we don’t have Palin to kick around anymore, this lightweight will do. 

I’m sorry, Midwest Princess — did you say something? 

there racist the grand wizard robert byrd would be proud

Samantha Bee and Jason Johns, the epitome of tastelessness. Canadians will do anything and everything tasteless just to appear on American TV

Seriously, contemplating that makes me think that life should have imitated art.  In John Irving’s  The World According to Garp, a somewhat similar situation unfolded.  Biting social commentary, more so for the protagonist, who lost one of his dearer possesions.

First Palin, then Perry, now Cain.
Every one of these Great Conservative Hopes ends up as a walking punchline.

It’s all a liberal plot. The phone records, the book signing, all of it. He is just the victim. 

ex, this is Rex here.

Man, this goes way way back, to the river flows of antiquity – de Nile; if you, like Mao did when he celebrated his kajillionth birthday with refreshing dip in the Yalu River (during which such was his amazing self-control that his head did not bob, or move or down in any way whatsoever), decide to Go For The Greatness, then every woman you’re NOT married to is gonna lust for, gonna fantasize about, gonna LIE about having ‘enjoyed’ at least a few milimeters of your own special ‘Greatness’. But actually HAVING extramarital sex, for Republicans, that’s just too improbable – having sex even one time beyond what’s absolutely necessary for procreation? Come ON, man, get real! That’s not the Republican way. – which makes for an infinitely easy route to de Nile.

But 13 year extra-marital affairs, banging your chief of staff’s wife, porking hookers two at a time*, hiking down that ol’ Appalachian trail as Randy Newman put it in that song, “All the way to Argentina”, making tapping noises from a men’s room stall – all of that is only too real to Republicans, too much like what each of them can relate to from personal experience; so self-loathing sets in.

*Some exceptions in Louisiana.

(Also, Newt is benefiting from the well-known conservative belief that if no one actually talks about you using the typing pool as a grazing pasture for a decade or so, “it” grows back: the assumption of Immaculate Republicanism. Watch Sarah Palin, for example, grow back her virginity following her tryst with Glen Rice, in an all-time record 3 months, and for what appears to have been the 178th time not counting the Senior Ball and all those Homecoming Weekends at her six alma mammys, during which the concept of counting became too inexact to retain scientific validity.)

Of. The word is “of”, not “to”. This makes it look like you’re posting from Novosibirsk – which, now that I think on it, may well be true …

Has it occurred to anyone else that the great number of GOP morons and homophobes who post comments here may actually be because Mediaite has outsourced the winger role to a village on the edge of the Great Siberian Plain?

After all the bullshit Herbie has said to the press (about Muslim-Americans, African-Americans, killing illegals, etc), it is not enough for him to lose his bid for the presidency..
He must be forced out of it and become an embarrassment of his own making.

Payback is a bitch.

That’s why the Left spent the time and it was time well spent.

Actually, I agree with Stewart. If T-Vangelicals had actually stayed true to their christian conservative values, Santorum is the one who should now be their choice, not Gingrich. At least Santorum doesn’t have the problem with moral issues or flip flops. But, I guess when you’re desparate, you can afford to be a hypocrite and forget values and support someone who has none.

He paid those women off, then broke his part of the deal by calling them liars on national television. That’s all the “proof” of a serial abuser I need.

But it wasn’t Garp, thank fortune – it was his wife’s lover, and he, uh … had it coming? No, that’s not quite it. For a big athletic babe magnet type, he was, uh … filling a niche? I mean a LITERARY one, he was a FICTIONAL character, so he lost a FICTIONAL ‘possession’. 

Whereas it was an entirely different matter with Newt, who had taken the special precaution of having his patriotic hummer – no doubt in solidarity with el Presidente – administered out in the fresh air and sunlight with good acoustics so he could be completely alert to all such contingencies.

Is not lookink so light.

If that new bill on net ownership rights claims & challenges gits passed, & Obama signs it, we ain’t gonna have any more need for iceback ill-eagle comedy field workers, cuz they’ll be nothin’ left to laugh aboot anyhow …. eh?

‘…He said, they said.’ Jon Stewart

Herman Cain battling hard to put the sensual back into consensual.

…Some say he’s winning that war.

We’ve almost got him…keep pulling the rope and we’ll get this MF’r ‘hangin-high’. They never learn do they!!! LOL!!!

His lady friends and his colleagues seeking the Republican nomination. The “left smear” is part of the grand delusion to render the right unaccountable for anything.

Do you think the libruls are in conspiracy with the phone provider to fabricate the records? That would be counter-intuitive since business is anti-librul, but who knows the depths of this conspiracy?

Who’s asking? Texan? Fred Garvin? Or your new identity, One Stupid Teaparty Leader? 

 But, aren’t “they” all the victim? All the way from the least of “them”, Jeff Merrill, Michelle-in-Utah, Whopper, to the mightiest of “them”, indeed, all the way up to the Half-Baked Alaskan?

I wish in all the many degrees you have from top notch universities someone had taught you of irony.

I assume Uzbeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan is your first language?

The Canadian Conspiracy is a new one on me, I will admit, but I always welcome new rightist conspiracy theories.

Ginger is on GMA as I write. She has records of multiple calls from Herb through mid-November (a couple of weeks ago).

Cain Truth dot com (get it? like “plain” truth – derr – how clever!) will soon be redirecting to Swinging Singles dot com.

I think Cain is also working on putting the “en u al” back in consensual…

Oh… I get it…

You. Are. FUNNY!  Those Canadians with their beady eyes and flapping heads!  Those dirty Canadians – always farting and such!

All news is no news; every news station is a bunch of committing
fools that know nothing they sit on their couches and chairs in hopes of
selling a book I am not talking about one news station I am talking about all
of them take your cameras and go find us some real news you committing couch
sitting wanabe book selling fools  I wish
I was your boss I would fire you all every one of you high paid couch sitting
lazy scumbags you all are not even worth a check stub

Yikes, that “report” from Samantha Bee was a bit too suggestive; it was genuinely funny, but I was halfway expecting obscene sound effects and facial expressions any second.  I’m glad that they stuck with something as tame as, “Oh Herman, you’re so bad!” or whatever she said.  I prefer my sex-related comedy a little less … visual, thank you.

…It’s too late for that train. Republicans well and truly conned themselves.

Mr Cain’s been having a good old time of it. Until he got caught with his pants down…

Feel sorry for his wife.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell when this kind of insane rant is real or satire. For your benefit, I’m going to assume it’s the latter.

Does cain really want to prolong this? If she is right it’s only a matter of time before she starts detailing the mole under his sac.

It’s been fun!

Why do so many of these liberals whom constantly bash Fox News, always go on O’Reilly’s program to promote their books? Why not MSNBC, instead?

Yeah , He is giving up.
There is your proof.

Can you prove it ISN’T a librul conspiracy?

I thought that was you?
Isn’t Palin your choice?

us995 gets hammered here for his butchering of the English language every day, yet he keeps coming back for more.

It’s all right. There are still plenty of passengers on the  GOP clown train.

no..that’s Loser not Leader.

Not victims, just too partisan for their own good. Plenty of that to go around. 

My bad.

As Rick Perry would say, oops.

TO SUPPORTERS OF CAIN!! Do not be swayed by the childlish enjoyment of the very illiterate and under educated American public! I have history and current events on my side and so do you! World leaders sometimes have affairs! Wealthy men (and a few women) have affairs -yet still become wealthier than 99% of us (LOL). Men (and women) of 99% status have affairs! Newt -I won’t repeat the clip!! Get over is people! Grow up. If you think the man can lead who cares what him and another adult do with their private parts!?!? Are you really stupid enough to think some affair could weaken his decisions? He’s made more smart ones than many of us have in our entire family histories. He is a success! Be strong and keep dancing with CAIN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7fJ6jAOVU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

the tabloid DAILYMAIL.UK?

You saw them? These supposed “records?” Calling someone is illegal?

Yep, he got nailed, again.

Herb’s campaign is over and anyone who donated money to him should demand a refund!!

You sure didn’t get your moneys worth with obama.  And he is still scamming people.  Then again, how can he win without union bribes and buying the office

Sure – There’s a difference between support and obsession for negative reasons. :)

Just Obama giving the order to take down Bin Laden was worth it after waiting 10 years!! Plus, stopping the economy from losing 700k jobs per month was also worth Obama being elected!!

You still have yet to explain what that even is supposed to mean.

Such are the vagaries of invoking popular literature, at least, when I do it.  I shall be more careful next time; if one is going to make such a reference one should get all the details correct.  I just remembered the essence of what happened in the novel and thought how strangely fitting it would have been if a car had coming coasting into that driveway.  Rex, I would never want to play Trivial Pursuit with you.  Unless, of course, your were on my side.  The devil is in the details.

“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember, from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”–Oscar Wilde

    And they go to hockey games!

Oh….Herman terrifies the “right” establishment too. A guy who actually wants to fix things and has a record for getting things done? Anathema to any good member of the one and only actual political party we have, The Incumbent Party. Many more Republicans are going to be surprised at being turned out of office next cycle, for failing to realize that just saying they will do the right thing, is not at all the same as doing the right thing. I’m actually surprised at how weak these attempts to derail Herman have been. Did they learn nothing from trying to shame Bill Clinton our of office, rather than simply prosecuting him for giving our missile guidance systems to the Chinese? There are two circumstances in which shaming doesn’t work. Ether the person has no shame…which is the description of a practical sociopath…and why Clinton remained in office. The other is when there is nothing to be ashamed of. And why Herman will not drop out of the race and will have to be forcibly removed. It remains to be seen whether the majority of Americans have awakened to the Big Time Wrestling game the pols have been playing on us for decades, if not longer.  It doesn’t matter if you root for Johnny America or The Golden Sheik. At the end of the night, they are both out together drinking beer on our dollars, and chuckling about how great the Concession sales were at the bout.

OK…I gotta admit….that is truly funny!

Cain will turn this country around and possible rid this country of Union mafia thugs

To add to your list…

We are leaving Iraq
Afghanistan is soon to follow
Quadaffi is dead
The market is actually up 50% (actually probably MORE now) since he took office.
And the second Great Depression didn’t happen….yet anyway.

I’m not saying hes perfect, but he certainly isn’t the worst thing to ever happen. Far from it.

It was easy to deny the sexual harassment claims, even from multiple women. President-in-waiting Cain was being hunted down by the Liberal media who were afraid of the Republicans having a strong black man, after all ;-) But the 13-year affair with phone records? It just became too real — and too difficult to believe Herman anymore.

Does a line of Lemmings count as a train?  The Republican Party now is just a bunch of loyalists all marveling at how great is their train, but there is no vehicle there. Republican ideology is one mass hallucination.

and all this while us Liberals were telling the conservatards that Cain was a joke.

It’s bad when someone tells you that you’re falling for a joke and you fall for it anyway. Watching them squirm now just makes me want to let them do it all again with Gingrich — or Romney. It doesn’t matter what we say, they’re still going to poke themselves in the eye with another pointy-dick hypocrite.

I accept that. Do you think Sarah will get into the race this late? Gop or independent?

Thanks for the mental picture…..NOT!

Every decision Cain has made publicly can be stated in this sentence:

I have decided to get the advice of experts before making a decision.

I don’t want to get all prissy about it, but that stuff was a bit too raunchy for me.
Just a tad over the line.
