"Motivational Speaker" and "Sexual Predator" Herman Cain teabags 300 Houston teabaggers. CAIN!

HOUSTON — Former presidential candidate Herman Cain rode his big blue bus into town Saturday, revving up a tea party gathering at Minute Maid Park with his impassioned speaking style.

Cain told the crowd of 300 — a smaller turnout than organizers expected, perhaps because of the $75 fee — that voters should back whichever of the remaining candidates has the best chance of winning the general election.

He didn't say who that was, although he has promised to make “an unconventional endorsement” in South Carolina.

“I know that many of us are befuddled by the candidates we have left,” he said, “but don't lose sight of the mission. ... Our mission is to send Obama home.”

Yeah, the media still tries to make it seem like the 'tea party' is some kind of viable political force.
