There's only one thing that can actually make Newt Gingrich's history of marital infidelity seem trite, and its name is Herman Cain. The man who gave us bad pizza and an even cheesier tax overhaul plan is once again at the center of a new sex scandal.
"Power corrupts" many of us, and Mr. Cain has indeed tasted the strong wine of power. So do the research yourself and come to your own conclusions.
Herman Cain spent a lifetime defying racial stereotypes. Now he has cartoonishly morphed into the embodiment of one of America's most unflattering, yet enduring, racial stereotypes of all.
If the sitting president represents, and is hated, because he represents all that America is becoming, Cain is the reverse, a traditional Southerner upholding the values of older America.
It's February 13, 2013. It is 3 A.M. The phone rings in the President's bedroom -- it has an urgent sound.
It is so easy to speak at a complex problem from the safety of the presidential candidate's bully pulpit and heap insults on the guy that has to make ...
What is the Republican Party to do with the cast of characters running for president?
Herman Cain and Penn State have been a political gift for President Obama. Without them, the public focus would be on geopolitical and economic events, very much to the detriment of the president's re-election campaign. Sometimes, being lucky is better than being good.
One definition of a fair tax is one that someone else pays. For Cain, that someone is anyone not bringing home an upper six-figure income.

Herman Cain has captured America's imagination. He has demonstrated leadership in this day where it is lacking. Doesn't matter whether you agree with him or not, he has put forth a clear direction.
It was predictable and laughable how conservative talk show hosts, bloggers, and web sites all quickly snatched a worn page from Clarence Thomas and screamed that Cain was being mugged by the liberal media because he was a black conservative.
Ann Coulter, the woman who makes her money with silly soundbites, decided to offend half the world by stating that "our blacks are better than their b...
The latest news about the allegations of sexual harassment against Herman Cain is very telling. Not in its impact on the presidential campaign, but on the question of what our political culture has become. Have we devolved into a tribal society?
Sarah Palin, who no longer had any role in Washington or elsewhere in politics, could meet the Tea Party appetite for extremist rhetoric more than even a right-wing senator like Jim DeMint, who still had a real job, could. Today Herman Cain is in a similar position.
