Late Night Comedians Love Herman Cain

RJ Matson, The St. Louis Post Dispatch

Here’s a cross section of Herman Cain jokes done on TV by late night comedians (culled from various posts on the web):

“Two women have accused Herman Cain of sexually suggestive behavior in the ’90s. He said no. He was just explaining to them his 69-9-9 plan.” –Jay Leno

“Herman Cain is having to respond to charges he once sexually harassed women. One German woman kept saying, ‘Nein! Nein! Nein!’” –Conan O’Brien

“When Herman Cain was in charge of the National Restaurant Association, there were allegations of sexual harassment. They have revealed one came from Sara Lee.” –David Letterman

“Herman Cain is the first candidate this year to use the word ‘consensual.’” –David Letterman

“Herman Cain was accused of sexually harassing two women in the ’90s. Which explains his new campaign slogan, ‘did somebody order a pizza with extra sausage?’” — Jimmy Fallon

“A Fox reporter asked Herman Cain if he’d ever had to pay anyone money to settle a sexual harassment claim. Herman Cain: ‘Outside of the Restaurant Association, absolutely not.’” –Jon Stewart

And then there are the instant classic Tweets of Andy Borowitz. Here are a few:

I suspect that Herman Cain would stop running for President if someone let him run a Hooters.

I have decided I would rather have Herman Cain sexually harass me than govern me.

Herman Cain is qualified to be President in the way that Olive Garden is qualified to be Italy.

I am less worried about Herman Cain’s sexual behavior than the fact he has never heard of Afghanistan.

I would not trust Herman Cain to run a pizza place. Oh, wait.

A sexual harasser has no business being President of the United States. He should be Prime Minister of Italy.

    He needs a good lawyer, one who can put himself in Herman’s shoes, or whatever. Calling Bill Clinton, they could join book tours. Or, John Edwards, he gets a godfather for his campaign baby. Or, Eliot Spitzer, who could prove that Herman’s behavior was hypnotically influenced (The Manchurian Candidate Goes Conservative) by excesses on Wall Street, and they can hire the OWS people to carry “Free Herman” placards.

    Well, after all, not only does Obama’s already-underway campaign carnival or circus appeal to the lowest of the low that are a notable feature of Democratic voters, but also not only do these people value comedians highly as experts on political and other matters, they actually voted a clown (Al Franken) to the Senate not too long ago.

    It’s not a surprise if such people view Stewart or Maher as current Presidential material. By their guttural standards, it may make sense.

    Colbert for Pres., Lewis Black for chief adviser.
