It’s a good thing he got out now. I’ve heard a rumors he’s fathered two black children. ---

Cain on the allegations of sexual harassment and adultery (from [abcnews.com](http://abcnews.com)): \*“That spin hurts — it hurts my wife, it hurts my family, it hurts me, it hurts the American people… He also recalled the better days of his presidential bid. “If you look at the top three Republican candidates right now and if you consider the president in the White House, we can say, I’m in the final four,” he said. “We’re in the final four.”\* Crap, there goes another irony meter. I should buy them by the gross. ---

The Onion: [Rumors Of Extramarital Affair End Campaign Of Presidential Candidate Who Didn’t Know China Has Nuclear Weapons](http://www.theonion.com/articles/rumors-of-extramarital-affair-end-campaign-of-pres,26801/) No article, just the header. Obviously just as much about the down-is-up nature of what it took to get Cain out of the race, as about Cain himself. ---

I heard on the radio last week Herman Cain said that he would consider continuing his candidacy after a very important meeting with his wife about the alleged affair. And I heard that as of yesterday, he has suspended his campaign. But try as I might, I didn’t hear the _bitch-slap_. And it had to be loud… _how loud was it?_ I’m guessing it was so loud that the Apple Store was forced to upload His version of Itunes. I’m guessing it was so loud that for the next week, his stores are going to be selling “The Bitchslapper” for just $4.99 with small fries, drink, and toy. (The toy being a small figure of a woman with her hand raised that plays “Oh no you Didn’t…!”) I’m guessing it was so loud, it’ll being sampled all next week on top 40 radio complete with a rapper reprise: [Rayvon] \*That what you get when you go acting like a Burgerkinger. Bitchslap is right for you! Layin pipe with the cokehead-minger… You thought you’re slick that she’d be waitin all at home to buy it; You brought it home smellin’ like soap a-comin’ from the Hyatt… \*[/Rayvon] … yes, reprise comes with the meal. ---

I can’t help but think we have possibly eliminated the candidate who would be best prepared on day one of his administration to answer that 3:00am booty call. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-make-fun-of-herman-cain-thread/601647.md?page=14)
