Newspaper Cain Campaign Tries to Discredit Responds and Says Don’t Blame Us

Poor Herman Cain. Rick Perry’s campaign is out to get him. A “troubled woman” is out to get him. The “Democrat machine” is out to get him. The liberal news media is out to get him (you know, that famously super liberal site called The Politico but if you never heard The Politico referred to that way before the sexual abuse allegations story then you are not alone).

My pet cat Clawdette is already preparing a statement denying that she is out to get him just in case she’s next.

And here is the latest. Cain gave a famous “brain freeze” interview that many analysts now don’t think was so much a brain freeze — as a brain reveal. Here is the video if you haven’t seen it. His campaign’s response has been — you guessed it — to blame the newspaper.

But the paper is pushing back:

The editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel criticized efforts by Herman Cain’s campaign to discredit the newspaper’s interview with the presidential candidate when he stumbled over questions on Libya and collective bargaining.

“Trying to spin it and say it was edited or handled some other way is just not accurate,” Marty Kaiser said Tuesday on CNN’s “American Morning.”

After video of the interview went viral Monday, Cain Communications Director J.D. Gordon said the video was “out of context in some measure,” adding that the former pizza executive endured 45 minutes of questions from the paper’s editorial board.

Kaiser, who was in the room during the candidate’s sit-down with the paper, said they were having a “pleasant conversation” and that some of Cain’s answers left the reporters “stunned.”

“I have to admit, quite a few of us have been in the business a long time, been through a number of these kinds of interviews, and afterwards we were really sort of stunned,” Kaiser said.

Why doesn’t Cain’s simply make their response all inclusive to simply things?

In the case of anything involving sexual harassment or lousy interviews that some think show he is woefully unprepared to answer anything that does not involve his daily talking point, why not just blame it on this:

A female member of the liberal media who works for Rick Perry’s campaign but is a member of the Democrat machine and takes his comments or actions out of context is to blame.

Oh and to anticipate the future:

It is a feline female member member of the liberal media who works for Rick Perry’s campaign but is a member of the Democrat machine and takes his comments or actions out of context that is to blame.

So they they don’t have to change it when they blame my cat.

All this may be unnecessary, since it seems as if Herman Cain’s campaign seems destined for the political litterbox.
