Crazy, crazy Herman Cain

Yes, I know that Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain who is African American, leads in some polls. And I've written that the Republican Party can be racist. But folks, I'll bet you ten quatloos that Cain won't get the nomination.

Anyway, the more we learn about Herman Cain, the more insane he looks. Rachel Maddow did a story on Cain's obsession with the number 45. (Video below.) I'm not kidding. She notes that maybe where he gets his 999 plan from. You know the 4 + 5 = 9. The Daily Beast also did a story on Cain's obsession.

Then there is the crazy Cain ad where his chief of staff Mark Block talks about his support of Cain. Nothing unusual until Block starts smoking on camera. What the ? Holy cow. Thank goodness for Stephen Colbert. He has great fun with it and makes his own Cain ads. Check out this funny video.
