Cain Joins Fox

SezMe · 16th February 2013, 01:38 AM

Herm has joined Fox as a contributor. This ain't gonna help the GOP's rehab effort.

Actually, it might be just what the GOP needs for reformation. Even more than Palin, Cain is obviously a substanceless publicity hound. This might be the straw that breaks the Elephant's back and pushes it away from Fox.

I love it when JREF posters become famous!

B-b-but Politico had an article on how Fox was totally changing, how can this be?

Cleon · 16th February 2013, 06:52 AM

A failed GOP presidential candidate lands a paid position at Fox News? How unprecedented!

tyr_13 · 16th February 2013, 08:28 AM

Oh, I was hoping it was the JREF poster...

I think that's the only way I could bring myself to watch Fox News. And I daresay I'd enjoy it.

Especially if they did a "Crossfire" type thing with him and TragicMonkey. With the Marquis as moderator.

SomedayGirl · 16th February 2013, 09:24 AM

Sure he's just a contributor now but I'll wager he get his own show and it debuts September 9 at 9pm.

Cain · 16th February 2013, 01:22 PM

Guys, guys, just to clear up any confusion: they didn't hire me. Instead the position went to some black guy, proving that even Fox has been infected by liberal political correctness.

Umm, you must be in to scatology because the inevitable result of TragicMonkey and "Crossfire" is poo-flinging.

"Crosspoo"?

There's already so much crap on the tube it would probably be lost in the background noise.

Foolmewunz · 16th February 2013, 11:34 PM

Ah, so they're rotating out last year's (well, 2008's) also-rans and replacing them with the new shiny Also-Rans Of 2012.

The goofus has never even been a favored interview subject on Fox. Frankly, I don't think he's even got basic knowledge of what the GOP is supposed to be standing for, right now. Nor in the past, for that matter. Herman's in it for Herman. Just as his run for the nomination was based on selling more books, this is for the paycheck.

Seriously, does any conservative other than the most blatantly partisan point at Cain and say, proudly, "Now that's what the GOP stands for"? It's more like "That's what the GOP stands for???!!!" Maybe the could get Newt on with him and do a Philandering Sugar Daddy News Hour. You know you could always get Teh Donald to show up as special guest, at least.

Ladewig · 17th February 2013, 12:08 AM

Finally!
I was wondering when Fox News would get a commentator who didn't know where Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan-stan was.

Baffled · 17th February 2013, 12:18 AM

But this will be a good thing if they ever need someone to report from Uzbeki-Becky-Becky-Becky-Becky-Becky-Becky-Stan!

"And where is it you're reporting from today, Herman?"
"Oh, shut up, Megyn!"

Edit: Darn you, Ladewig! you snuck that in there while I was googling spellings!

Noted. Politico got punked yet again by Roger Ailes about moderating the tone and content on Republican Propaganda Network. Simply put, Ailes took advantage of the publicity around his dumping a few non-performing assets to mislead about Fox News' raison d'être.

Tricky · 17th February 2013, 05:04 AM

I'd consider watching Cain. He is a funny guy. He was great on Colbert, even though he knew that he was satirizing himself. The key to Cain is; Don't take him seriously. He certainly doesn't.

Agreed but my concern is how many of the FOX viewing audience listens in for the humor. Certainly not the 9-9-9 rubes.

Nor the 9/11 troofers. Of course, perhaps his show will put down the more liberal (i.e. a bit more intelligent) republickers and try to take over their wlectoral locations. Show called: The Cain Mutiny!!!

fuelair · 17th February 2013, 04:56 PM

With it's opening [closeup]showing him rolling two smallish brass balls in his right* hand with voiceover "I got yer commie liberal voting right here boys!" as the opening strains of "I'm Proud to be an American!" swell upward and outward and the balss are replaced with medium shot of Cain wrapped in an American flag holding a streetsweeper and smoking aby God American made cigar!!!

*I see what I did there.
