Another One Bites the Dust

I am sure many of you have seen this, yet another GOP memory lapse, but if you haven’t, please do so. Then proceed to assume the fetal position in the face of such terrifying ineptitude in the potential President of the United States.

Herman Cain appeals to many Republican voters because of his no-(non)sense 9-9-9 tax plan and his business background. But this–wait, is Gaddhafi our friend?–is simply inexcusable.

And what was the excuse, you ask? Mr. Cain was apparently fatigued because he had only slept four hours the previous night. Sleep deprivation (not even a particularly bad example, us Wash U pre-meds would say) is a good excuse for why you bombed that Orgo exam. Not, you know, when you are at the helm of the SS America.

Do you think President Obama always gets his eight hours before going to work? Want to bet over/under on 4 hours of sleep for President Bush on the night of September 11, 2001?

Well, with Perry and Cain having firmly proven their serious lack of qualification for the role, and with precious few serious contenders in his rear view mirror, it looks like Mitt Romney is going to be the default GOP candidate. Don’t be too surprised.
