Herman Cain’s Big Announcement
There’s a live video feed at C-SPAN of the Herman Cain rally at which he’s going to announce that he just saved a bundle on car insurance: Live video coverage.
Right now, of course, there’s a Teabagger dressed up in pantaloons and a tricorne hat, with a really bad fake British accent, reading the Declaration of Independence. Classic.
The bail-out: “As of today, I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distraction.”
And in one of the most incredible moments ever in right wing politics, Cain ended (er, “suspended”) his candidacy with a quote from the Pokemon movie: “Just look inside and you will find just what you can do.” Wheee!
If you were wondering why Cain “suspended” instead of “ended,” this way he can legally continue to receive federal matching funds for a nonexistent campaign all through 2012.
