Interesting column. Don't entirely agree with it, but interesting.

I know what Im about to say is impolite, but Herman Cain strikes me as something of a jerk and an ignoramus. He has made absolutely outrageous statements about Muslims, immigrants and homosexuals; he takes the most extreme position imaginable on abortion. Indeed, I have never, ever seen him acknowledge the idea that complexity exists in the world or that an ability to weed through complex issues might be a qualification for the presidency.
No, the guy is a marketer. He had other people handle administration and finance at Godfathers; he was all about the pies. Hence, we have his 9-9-9 plan, a truly rancid scheme to benefit the rich at the expense of the rest of the country, a scheme that would tax a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread.
Would it be too much for the Weekly Standarda journal of strong, and occasionally intemperate, opinionsto acknowledge that this guy is a snake oil salesman? That hes an embarrassment to the Republican Party? That his momentary strength is a four-alarm cry of Republican desperation?
