The Examiner:
Cain exhibited no inappropriate sexual behavior during the dinner, though he did order two $400 bottles of wine and stuck the women with the bill, she said.
The next time the women heard from Cain was Christmas, when he sent them his gospel CD.
If you replace “the women” with “the American people” in both spots, you end up with the perfect Republican...
“These jobs don’t pay well, but they pay good.”
