Cain's campaign first gained national notoriety when his so called "chief of staff", Mark Block, appeared in a TV campaign ad choking down a cancer stick and blowing smoke in the camera person's face. Whether it was meant to portray the Poor Bastard presidential candidate and his inner circle as just part of the great unwashed mass of Garden-Variety Poor Bastards, who never got the cancer memo about smoking cigarettes...or whether there was some higher subliminal message about freedom of choice and self-determination that the rest of us Poor Bastards were supposed to get out of the ad, nobody really knows....but what we do know is that it didn't do much to derail the controversial allegations of sexual harassment which had been made by several women prior the ad appearing on TV.
Poor Bastard Cain, for his part, has done very little to stem the rising tide of discontent with his obviously boorish attitude toward women in general; and his campaign strategists certainly haven't helped by allowing Cain's lawyers to issue thinly veiled threats against any women who may come forward in the future.
To date no less than four women have come forward with allegations that the folksy, home-spun Hermie Cain, who never misses an opportunity to remind audiences that he is NOT part of the political establishment, would nonetheless appear to be well versed in at least one of the behavioral characteristics of contemporary Poor Bastard political figures from both sides of the isle...i.e; the tendency to let their political pecker get the better of them when they feel the urge to "share the love!"
Of course in Hermie Cain's case, the allegations have not been proven, at least not to the satisfaction of the accused Poor Bastard Malefactor, even though rumors continue to persist that several of the female accusers were paid handsome sums back in the late 1990's in exchange for agreeing to fade quietly into the background...Presumably so-as not to spoil Hermie's presidential aspirations at some future date!
