I'm not terribly interested in politics, and it's really too early for me to start paying close attention to the presidential election. But over the past month or so, I found myself thinking about Herman Cain.
When he first came to national media's attention
Huh.
I wish he would win the nomination. Then Tea Partiers would have evidence to support their assertions of not being racist. And the heads of racist fringe elements would explode.
When the first allegations of sexual harassment came up
Wow. They really think he's a threat.
Really? Of all the dirt you could find on a dark skinned black man running for president, you found claims of sexual harassment? Can you drill any deeper into the historical American stereotype of black men?
Well, he was a man in power. And men in power have a reputation for sexual harassment. So…
Okay. There's the press conference addressing the allegations. Thanks, CNN. [Three hours later] Really, CNN? You're still talking about this? Are you sure there's nothing else going on in the world.
When the allegation of an affair was aired
Wow. They really think he's a threat.
Hasn't he been talking to his wife? Didn't they talk things over, like General Powell had with his wife?
Oh, I see. She stayed home while he's on the campaign trail.
Dude, seriously. Isn't there something else happening in the world right now?
Yes, I know. Deep Thoughts.
