Sorry, nothing funny about that at all. The media is doing a hatchet job on Cain. I don't think he's the best candidate, or that he can win, but what's going on with him now is going to make "Borking" look like a walk in the sun.
We have "witnesses" speaking out against Cain, all of whom have questionable backgrounds, including contacts with David Axelrod and contacts with the Daley machine in Chicago. The strongest piece of physical evidence so far is an autographed book, with a scribbled note from Cain that says nothing more than "this is my autograph".
Contrast that to the media's treatment of Bill Clinton in 1992. Gennifer Flowers had tapes of their phone conversations, as well as other very solid proof of an affair. Paula Jones had the testimony of the state troopers who were Clinton's bodyguards, as well as other evidence. Juanita Broderick had physical injuries, and other evidence. Those stories got very little coverage in the MSM until they absolutely had to cover them. Even then, they'd play down the women's stories.
The Obama campaign is playing on the ugliest fears about blacks, using the old "black man attacks white woman" excuse for lynching Cain. This will come back to haunt the Democrats in the future.
