Scene 2, Act I

My mom always told me reading people like Mr. Herb Cain would not be easy. I had to concentrate on his face, or was that his shoes, I never listened much to my mother, I probably should have.

He arrived at the radio station 5 minutes early, we hid our big breasted women to make sure he could focus on the task at hand, which was to be interviewed by our best DJ, yeah, we still have live DJ's, can you imagine that?

We'd been told we couldn't ask any questions about "the allegations", we were disappointed of course, so instead we asked him about his feelings about abortion. He answered like a man walking on air, like he had all the right answers, he believed in life, 100% he exclaimed excitedly. DJ AD asked him if a woman were assaulted and a baby resulted should she have access to abortion services, he said definitively it was the woman's choice. "I am pro life," he insisted, "pro life." He smiled brightly after answering.

The DJ raised his eyebrows at me, I rolled my eyes and looked down at Herb's shoes, I was just hoping to get a clue so I could figure out what this guy was doing here.

Great. That would be fun.

I'm going to look for an actor, preferably from the comedy circuit here. I was thinking about a voice recording over a montage of media images, you know, sort of like a Herman Cain ad. If you like. Let you know.

Thanks, Artsy. Of course,

Thanks, Artsy.
Of course, Cain hasn't spent a whole lot of money on these ads, and that's also the point. To have the stupid media (and maybe a stupid blogger) ramp them around cable and the internet. Realistically he's an incredible long shot. Intrade has him at 4%. But it's a crazy environment. Let's face it, Palin could have been V.P. and this is almost more believable. We live in such an American Idol culture, what's the limit? And of course the Tea Party is deadly serious about not having to settle for Romney.

Thanks.

You made me check it out; he does seem to be a pretty popular video performer:

And compared to Sarah Palin, one doesn't get a mercenary intent; he just likes being a celeb? But I think Perot would have been an equal hit if YouTube had been around when he was running; it takes more than that to have more than the Warholian 15 minutes?

Also note that the "Now is the time for action" ad,

which I would certainly label edgy (with the smoking, almost radically over the edge for a political campaign) seems to be the most highly popular Cain-related video.
