Herman Cain caught joking about Anita Hill
At a campaign event in Kalamazoo, Michigan Thursday, Cain couldn’t contain his laughter at a supporter’s joke about Hill.

“Did you hear the latest news today?” the supporter asked. “Anita Hill is going to …,” but the rest of the joke was inaudible.

Cain doubled over in laughter for a moment and finally raised up his arms, asking with a grin, “Is she going to endorse me?”

The Cain campaign quickly dismissed the controversy.

1. What an ass
That's probably the nicest thing I can say about Mr. Cain.

3. Against their Will
In the last two weeks we've seen powerful men perpetrating immoral
and criminal acts against their victim's wills.
Powerful men, knowing they could get away with their actions
and a pass because of their status are held to
different and unequal standards.
It seems to sum up the last few decades in this country,
although a lesson throughout history.
It's one of the things we occupiers see as unfair and
unjust, in a country that seemed founded on justice for all.

Cain will fall and the charges will hold. His lawyer's
threats will not curtail the truth and courage of Cain's
victims, as it hasn't finally with Sandusky and the football
machine at Penn. Sandusky will go to jail or kill himself.
Hopefully these are futher lessons that this country's attitude
needs to shift and quickly.

The lessons of the occupiers and election this week should
be the focus of our future.

4. Or Sandusky will have a heart attack in his sleep and the body
will be cremated immediately.
