Wave goodbye to media darling Herman Cain. In a requisitely bizarre, Pokemon-tinged speech, Cain announced immediate suspension of his sensational campaign today. Many observers are left scratching their heads as to why an accusation of adultery and hush money derailed a campaign completely deluged by harassment allegations, but trying to comprehend, let alone diagnose, the sickness gripping our political system, its cartel-esque parties and its willing lapdogs in the beltway media is an exercise in futility. Sterner folks than I have gone utterly bonkers in the attempt.
