The Hermanator threw in the towel today, and the trousers too. Too bad he wasn't running for office in Italy. Over there they'd see his various escapades as manifestations of virility, and they like that in their leaders.
In the Land of the Puritans it's a different matter. Whether a man is fit to lead the nation depends above all else on where his wiener's been in the last twenty years. That's what people care about in America. Foreign policy positions? Who cares? It's the position you took that hooker with in Atlanta ten years ago that matters.
Does the candidate have a job creation plan? The only jobs American voters are interested in are the blow jobs the candidate may have given or received from someone other than his or her legally wedded spouse.
Too bad. Cain's campaign deserved to fail because his policy positions on any substantive matter were ill-informed, non-existent, or just plain stupid. It didn't deserve to fail because the media have a hypocritical prurient fixation on a candidate's private life.
