Politicos of every stripe are lamenting the failure of the deficit-cutting supercommittee as a watershed tragedy in American politics, with plenty of blame and finger-pointing for all involved.

Republican White House hopeful Herman Cain sent supporters an email Tuesday bemoaning the collapse of deficit-reduction talks on Capitol Hill and blamed President Barack Obama for its failure. He included this plea for financial support:

“Please make an urgent contribution of $20, $30, $50, $100, $250 or more to my campaign right away,” Mr. Cain wrote. “The Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary are only weeks away and America desperately needs a leader who can get us out of this mess.”

The former businessman goes on to remind the “patriots and supporters” to whom the email is addressed why he is the right man for the job and why this is the time to pick a former chief executive as commander-in-chief.

1. I'm tempted as I watch the MSM start pumping up the most evil bastard in the room, Newt.

I knew it was coming, CNN et al calling Newt the front runner.

You want a corporatist?

There's your fuckin corporatist evil bastard.

The rest fall somewhere between "batshit crazy" and "least worst".

2. My ship is sinking and I want to scam as much as possible before it goes down.

4. Fortunately he is the only one from any party who is making such requests, so

we won't be subjected to this sort of thing very much.

:sarcasm:

3. I groped around for some spare change

and when I found it I gave it to the hungry people in my town.

Get bent, Hermy. If you need more Payola, whine to your Billionaire PuppetMaster (R) Greedheads.

13. YEAH! Isn't he supposed to be the other brother from another mother?

Maybe he called the Koch boys and went straight into voicemail.

:rofl:

:toast:

14. Could be. I just can't grope it.

The whole Hermy kampain is Repugnantly Ungropeable.

5. Yo Herb - I got a contribution for you. Pull my finger...

6. He really is dumb as dirt, isn't he? nt

[Javaman]

8. not really, like most repukes of his ilk, he will fail up...

and land a sweet job being a commentator on faux news. ("up" is really relative in this case).

he's just following the failin quitter model of grifting the public in a failed campaign.

it has zero to due with winning, but everything to do with fleecing the gullible and the stupid.

in about 10 years, it probably be revealed that most of his campaign contributions were used for personal expenses.

but by then it won't matter. all the campaigns will be sponsored by corporations, not that they aren't now, but it will be more like, "herman cain, godfathers pizza's presidential candidate".

11. If your campaign is collapsing into oblivion...

Blame yourself.

If you are gullible and throw away $20, $30, $50, $100, $250 by giving it to this shyster, blame yourself.
