Tears of a Clown

Herman Cain has cried all the way to the locker room ever since he got booted off the Presidential primary playing field.

But mixed with his sobs is a lot of "Not fair!" Cain apparently feels that if the playing field had been level, he-- not Mitt Romney-- would be the one receiving the scepter, the flowers and the tiara down in Tampa. And he's gonna do something about it, too.

Is it possible that I'm the only person in America who really wishes that "Herb" would just stuff some pizza in his mouth or something and go away? He's said he won't run again. Story over, pizza guy!


POLITICO - Herman Cain says if there had been a level playing field during the Republican primaries, he’d be receiving the GOP nomination in Tampa — and that he’s hired investigators to determine who spread stories that he says brought down his campaign.

“If everyone had competed fairly and honestly, I’d probably be the nominee being nominated this week,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on CBS Sunday. “The process is fair but many people that are involved in the process are not fair and they are not honest.

When asked if he would have campaigned differently, he said he wishes he would have better prepared his family. Cain came under fire when he was accused of infidelity.

“I shouldn’t say this on camera, [but I’d] make it uncomfortable for the media people who lied on me, that’s what I would do differently,” he said. “The one thing I would do differently is I would better prepare my family for the dirt. Other than that I wouldn’t do anything differently.”

Later Monday, Cain confirmed on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that he has investigators looking into the “well-coordinated effort” behind stories “attacking” his character.

“And you’re spending money out of your own personal pocket?” host Wolf Blitzer asked.

“Yes, I am,” Cain replied. “My character, my reputation is much more than dollars. We’re going to get to the bottom of this.”

Cain, who now runs CainTV, said on CBS that he’s not eying another presidential run.

“I’ve made it real clear. I’m not making another presidential run,” he said.

Meanwhile, Cain offered his take Monday on a recent poll that showed 0 percent of African-American voters support Romney.

“Black voters are closet conservatives, but the polls aren’t going to pick it up,” Cain said on Fox News. “You may have heard about The Wall Street Journal poll that said zero African-Americans are going to vote for Mitt Romney. Well, I’m not a zero.”

A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll released last week showed Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, claiming zero percent of the black vote. President Barack Obama was set to claim 94 percent of the black vote.
