It's Tuesday's WTF

USA Today's report on the latest Sugar Cain news raises at least two questions, and will probably raise more if I stop long enough to think much about it.

Pizza Daddy says he makes a distinction between a settlement and an agreement. This sounds like the kind of bullshit I'd expect from Bill Clinton. Either way, if you're being falsely accused, why reach ANY kind of financial arrangement ?

Second question: Exact same situation, but substitute Barack Obama for Herman Cain. Are the right-wingers making excuses about racism, or looking for a rope ?

Added 12:06 pm, Wednesday:

Third question: If the cold, hard facts disproved the harassment allegation, wouldn't a sharp businessman like Pie Daddy have gotten them out immediately instead of pretending he didn't remember anything ?

WTF political news for Tuesday

Around the blogosphere:

A recent poll shows pizza guy leading the pack, with Romney close behind and Perrito way down in fifth place behind Newter and Grandad Ron Paul, but still ahead of the vanishing lady, Michele Bachmann. Perrito is pulling single digit support. Among GOP tea people, the godfather of pies is the numero uno choice, which makes perfect sense. Those fucking lunatics believe the way to improve the government is to pack it with people who have no government experience and no apparent understanding of how American politics are supposed to work. That's a perfect description of pizza dude. Perrito is a career politician, and even though his time in office has been spent in Texas, I guess the tea people believe he has too much experience to be effective.

Meanwhile, Perrito is still spending most of his time on camera going after Mittenful. Someone needs to tell him his real problem is the pie guy.

Surging ? On paper, maybe.

The latest NBC/WSJ poll shows that the pizza guy is the newest frontrunner in the race for the 2012 Republican nomination. According to reports, he has the support of 27 percent of prospective Republican primary voters, leading runner-up Mittenful by about four points and Perrito by eleven.

My theory is that Herman will never win the party's nomination, much less the presidency. Based on personal observation, I think there are significant numbers of Republican yahoos who hate the N in the White House, but don't want to be accused of bigotry. Telling a pollster that they'll vote for Herman Cain helps them feel better about themselves: "See, this proves I'm not really a racist. I hate Obama because of his far-left ideas, not because he's a N."

The pizza guy understands marketing strategies, and knows there's a demand in the Republican party for blacks who advocate a radical right-wing agenda. Clarence, Condi , now Cain. All have names that start with C as in Conservative. Colin would still be in the group if he'd been radical enough.

Herman's problem is that people who are actually willing to cast votes for a black candidate in a national election are probably not going to choose someone with his political experience and philosophy. Maybe America will prove me wrong, but I doubt it. Still, Herman can ride the tide and enjoy it while it lasts.
