1. I hope he pulls out of everything.

The fewer people like him in the world, the better.

2. Again?

First, it was reported he withdrew, then he released a statement saying he wasn't.

He's out (again)? Is he sure this time?

3. It's a zoo.

6. With revolving doors on the cages.

Well, except the ones at the border.

7. You want to know why?

Cain didn't want to take a pay cut:

No Sacrifice Too Great in Service to the Country - Unless You're Talking about Money

Embattled Federal Reserve pick Herman Cain says he is withdrawing his name from consideration for a seat on the bank's powerful board of governors for a simple reason: He doesn't want a pay cut.

"Without getting too specific about how big a pay cut this would be, let's just say I'm pretty confident that if your boss told you to take a similar pay cut, you'd tell him where to go," Cain wrote.

Salaries of board members are set annually by Congress. For 2019, Cain would have received a yearly salary of $183,100. The Fed chair and the vice chairman are paid $203,500.

What a mealy-mouthed little coward.
