CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE (The Borowitz Report) – Rick Perry waded into the brouhaha over the sexual harassment charges against Republican presidential rival Herman Cain, telling reporters, “If it turns out he’s innocent, then he should be executed.”

Noting that the case against Mr. Cain was far from airtight, Gov. Perry said, “In Texas we’ve fried men for less than that.”

3. Borowitz is saying that

it's believable that Perry would say Cain should be executed if he DIDN'T sexually harass two women?

Yeah, Perry is stupid enough to say that.

5. Was really hoping that was real

I could picture him saying that, maybe mixing up exonerated and executed. Oh well, it was funny enough.
