Hormone – sorry, Herman – Cain has launched his first ad campaign, and it’s, well, eminently forgettable.
Via MSNBC’s First Read:
DES MOINES, Iowa — Herman Cain released his first television ad of the presidential cycle today, not surprisingly, in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa.
Unlike Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who have been running TV ads on local stations in Iowa, Cain’s 60-second ad began airing on cable — FOX News Channel to be exact.
“The new television ad is a result of the strong fundraising that has occurred over the last ten days,” Steve Grubbs, Cain’s Iowa chairman, told NBC News. “Our supporters are rallying to Herman Cain’s defense and that means we will be able to take our message directly to voters.”
Said message:
Dust to dust, yes?

As a proven CEO, I guess you can’t dispute the fact that he was a CEO in the past. But I think he’d do much better if he continued making videos like “He Carried Yellow Flowers” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSlC7BxmSqY) and leveraged his insanity to obscure his sexual harassment habit.
Cain reminds me of an old David Letterman joke about how Ross Perot’s campaign slogan should have been: “Perot: he’s crazy for America!”
With Cain, I think “He’s hot for America!” is more fitting.
