Sounds pretty classy to me! Sounds like the words of a DOER to me. This probably doesn't sound classy because you're so accustomed to hearing the slick, twisted, spin from the existing political establishment. It's time for plain talk.

Words strike different people in different ways. I think by bedroom slippers he was simply indicating someone lounging around the house instead of out doing something productive.

I would expect that quite a number of Czars would be on the street.

Lawrence O'Donnell is a bit of a jackass, but he had an interesting interview with Cain yesterday. O'Donnell asked Cain why, in O'Donnell's words, Cain sat on the sidelines during the civil rights movement. O'Donnell garbled it a little bit, but he might have caught Cain in a few lies. I expect that we will hear more about this if Cain remains a frontrunner.

The allegation is that Cain's book implies that he was in high school during the civil rights movement and had the good sense to heed his father's admonition to stay out of trouble. If Cain said that, then he is lying. He was in college from the fall of 1963 through sometime in 1967, right smack in the middle of the civil rights era. He also said something else I find really curious. He said to O'Donnell, "Did you expect every black student and every black college in America to be out there?...You didn't know, Lawrence, what I was doing...maybe, just maybe, I had a sick relative!" Lawrence O'Donnell, Herman Cain Argue About The Civil Rights Movement (VIDEO) Well, did he or didn't he? According to O'Donnell, Cain's book seems to say otherwise. O'Donnell garbled this part a bit, but I bet there are plenty of reporters who will request a clarification.

Cain says a lot of things that don't make sense to me. Maybe he's lying. We shall see, I hope.

Honus,
That is the beauty, as well as the purpose, of the Primary races--when done right.

One thing you can say for our political process is that any dirt in your past will be dug up and exposed to the bright lights of the TV cameras . . .

He ALSO had the good sense to stay out of trouble and take advantage of the opportunity in front of him, a college education. Would you rather have a criminal for a President or someone who stays out of jail and obeys the law. Our current President did not obey the law when he took illegal drugs.

If Cain wants to make that argument, fine. I don't think he will find many takers. Relatively few people equate the people who engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience for the cause of civil rights with criminals.

To each his own, I suppose, but it appears that Cain might have tried to improve on his life story by making stuff up. That doesn't bother you?
