Herman Cain is a charmer and tried to parley his personal charm and
sense of humor as his primary qualification for to be the Republican
nominee for President in the 2012 US election. His primary management
experience has been in the food industry. Herman started out managing
400 Burger Kings in the Philadelphia area, and was subsequently
appointed as president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza in1986.
Under Cain's leadership, Godfather's closed approximately 200 restaurants
and eliminated several thousand jobs which gave Herman the credentials
to tout his experience as a job creator.
Ten years later, was was appointed CEO of the
National Restaurant Association, a position which he held for three years
during which helped the association successfully gainst increases to the
minimum wage and the payment mandatory health care benefits.
Herman then ran for the Republican
presidential nomination in 2000, but has almost negligible support. In 2004,
he then tried unsuccessfully to run for for the U.S. Senate in
Georgia. In 200 in which he used racial stereotypes, such as one in which
one black man refers to black women as "ho's".
hen came a match made in political
heaven. The former pizza man connected with the Tea Party and pizza and tea
were such a perfect combination that Herman believed that the ultra right
Republican powerhouse's support could propel him into the US. presidency.
But then came accusations by four women of sexual harassment and misconduct
during his time as CEO of the National Restaurant Association which Cain
denied while acknowledging that the restaurant organization made financial
settlements to complainants. The most serious complaint was made by
Sharon Bialek who told a press conference in Ny that when she went to Herman
for advice on finding a new job in July 1997, that Herman :put his hand on
my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals. He also grabbed my head
and brought it towards his crotch."
Then the Republican flavor of the week
learned that many of his former Republican female supporters did not find
the thought of trying force Sharon Bialek's face on his crotch as a
qualification for the US presidency (although it was a qualification
popularized by Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky affair) and he quickly
dripped from a top tier to a second tier candidate.
So to celebrate Herman's birthday, we suggest
ordering a Godfather's sausage pizza and washing it down with a Sex on Your
Face Cocktail while watching him in the 2009
documentary An Inconvenient Tax. |
