he says he s been through hell, but he s raised $9 million, allegedly, since october. and according to the latest quinnipiac poll, in florida and ohio, herman cain leads mitt romney. in pennsylvania, they re tied. is that hell? unless it s an acronym for herman exaggerates life s lessons did you just make that up?! that s brilliant! clearly, the man is off track here. and i think as miss ball indicated, it doesn t say much about him being able to be sensitive to issues that fall outside of his arc. here, it s the sexual harassment that s been time and time again argued. and now talking about hell, it s amazing to him that many right-wing brothers and sisters disavowed the necessity to speak about race or class or gender, except when it suits their purposes. and here, i think, is a clear example of herman cain engaging in the very divisive politics that he so broadly remonstrates
what i said last night with lawrence o donnell, like with serial killers. for every one person i may have killed, there s thousands i may not have killed. it s flawed logic. it s a game of she said, she said, she said, she probably would have said if she could speak. it is not a good look, as it were. again, any kind of evidence of thoughtful consideration about what he has done or the repercussions of what he said is not something that herman cain that has entered into his mirror. this is someone who has shown time and time again a certain defiance and real remorselessness about his actions or potential missteps. let me ask you this, alex. the whole idea of when the reporters brought up the character question and the audience started booing, have we gotten so extreme in this country now to you can t even ask a candidate about what is on
down and just enjoy the comedy show that is the republican presidential race. honestly it s hard to tell the difference between spoof and reality, so we can all sit back, relax and enjoy the show. i have a solution. i ve got it right it s pretty simple, actually. where did i put it? that! okay. here we go. there are a lot of reasons not to elect me. because that s the person herman cain is. herman cain. herman cain. i can and will be much crazier. cain! a lot of reasons to elect the people on the stage. excuse me. excuse me! cain! commerce, education and the what s the third one there? let s see it looks like you re just
i have heard in a presidential debate and it s beneath herman cain even to stoop that low. when you recall what herman cain referring to hillary clinton and negotiating with iran and he said something like bless her in that condescending manner. he has difficulty with women holding high office in this country. it appears to be so. i don t know him well enough to say whether he has a good or bad regard for women in general, but that is certainly how it appears f. i m herman cain today and i have an ounce of integrity, i m writing and issuing a public apology to former speaker pelosi for addressing her in that manner. let me tell you, it s not the first time he said it. he used to call her princess pelosi with great regularity on the radio show. he seems to be a bit ena mored with the term.
conversation very well. let me ask you, terry. in terms of these sectionium harassment cases, aren t they difficult to prove on its face? well, you know, of course they re often very difficult to prove, but women who come forward to make these accusations need to be taken very seriously. the traditional defense of the sluts and nuts defense, oh, she deserved it because she s a slut or she s crazy and herman cain is using that strategy, and it s old, it s tired, it really shouldn t work, and i think that we have progressed as a society, in my mind, at least to this point. this is something i didn t say this gloria stein many said the other day, you know, clarence thomas may have become a supreme court justice, but dominique strauss-kahn will never be president of france. my prediction, with the way herman cain is behaving, he will
