On one episode of his show a few weeks ago, Bill Maher offered some guest million-to-one odds that Herman Cain would not be…I forget if it was President of the United States or just the Republican nominee. But either way, he won. He does not have to pay that guest one million dollars on a dollar bet.
I always thought it was a safe wager. I frankly never understood why anyone was behind that guy. I understand support for Romney or Paul or Gingrich or Perry or even Bachmann…but Cain? He had no experience in government and no evident interest in learning about it. Asked what he would do about most problems, his answer was usually something like, "I'll get together experts who will advise me." Hey, you and I could do that. It wasn't so much that he didn't know what was up with Libya as that he didn't see why anyone would expect him to know. He was the only candidate who acted like "What would you do about Iraq?" was a "gotcha" question.
And then he'd complain that no one was discussing the important issues.
Good night, Internet. See you in the morning.
