Talk about throwing good money after bad . . .
Herman Cain enabler The 999 Fund has launched a $100,000 ad campaign in Iowa featuring this TV spot (via MediaBistro’s TV Spy):
Aside from the 999 Fund’s inability to spell Cain’s name correctly, there’s the question of why anyone would give credence to a blatantly ratings-driven story like the one Atlanta station WGCL produced last month.
There’s also the question of why Cain would release a new ad in Iowa at this juncture:
Not to mention the question of Women for Cain?
With his wife Gloria as national chairperson?
Seriously?
This guy is sick.
Look at it this way:
He’s doing what he can to keep employment in the ad business up.
He’s been an amusing act in the sideshow that is the Republican nominating process. OTOH, I find it more than curious how the accusations against him have been ratcheted up in intensity when previous ones didn’t have the desired effect of driving him from the race. First there was one anonymous claim, then another. When those didn’t do the trick, along came an allegation with a face, an interview, and more claims from her atty. Since that didn’t kill him, we had what…. a 13 year affair, along with faces and interviews? This looks like the final straw, but what if it isn’t, what’s next, an illegitimate baby, complete with mommy? Don’t misunderstand me, Cain is not qualified to be president in any way. It just strikes me as odd the way the story has been reeled out.
Meet you on the grassy knoll, Al.
Well, that job creation scheme was short-lived
As it says in Beowulf “lif bith lene,” Mudge.
John, I take it you heard the women for Cain were photoshopped? “Et tu Mother Jones … then fall Cain.”
Coals to Newcastle, Christian. Or grease to White Castle.
