"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Politico?" (Limbaugh Referencing This Now)
The American Spectator ^ | 4 November 2011 | Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 11/04/2011 9:52:48 AM PDT by AmericanInTokyo

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "What the [bleep] is Politico doing?" said the man on the phone. "And how the [bleep] are they getting away with this [bleep]?" Reporters rival sailors for their proficiency in profanity, and one of the most experienced political journalists in Washington was cussing a blue streak Thursday evening as he railed against the shoddiness of Politico's reporting on the Herman Cain "scandal."

Wow, they had just begun prefacing Cain’s name with “embattled”.

Do we have any indication Cain as president would prosecute any of the criminals in Hussein’s administration?

Would he fire ALL the Democrat appointees and traitors?

It's like, they suddenly flung a big pile of dog poop in someone's face with a shovel. And then, because the victim was momentarily rendered speechless due to the shock of the attack, it was the fault of the recipient of the dog crap for "not responding more intelligently" and making HIM the aggressor. Their narrative is now shifting to the only thing they have left. "OK, so he did not do anything wrong so on that basis it doesn't necessarily mean he should not be President, but because he defended himself so poorly, I guess after all he should not be President." Can you believe the nerve of these lowlifes, these spinning pivoting morons??

No, that would be up to his Attorney General, Joe Arpaio to do.

“Block said someone had e-mailed him the code of ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists. “I haven’t had a chance yet to forward it to the reporter and the editor at Politico, but if they lived up to the code of ethics, they both should resign,” the pack-a-day campaign wizard said.”

WTF!?!?!?!? is right. There’s a code of ethics for journalists????? Who’d a thunk it?

Before it's all over Cain will thank Politico.
Why?
It will turn out to be the best thing for Hermans' candidacy
Most people are sick and tired of the MSM and their tactics of coming down hard on conservatives.
Compared to RATS "Real" actions, if everything said about Cain is true it amounts to NOTHING. ZERO. NADA. ZIP.

Trump has has shown the way already...sue Politico for muti-million dollar law suit for publishing un-substantiated rumors and attempt to defame character. Where does Cain go to get his reputation back?

He may have been joking, (tongue in cheek, as a lead in to a parody) OR they (the libs) are bubbling this crap stuff up bit by bit on purpose, as a form of psy war. They call it the death of a thousand cuts, thing is, though, it is not working.

I am concerned with Cain’s response, he did seem to flay about and accusing Perry with nothing to support it. Yes he isn’t a regular politician, and that’s part of his appeal and does explain a less refined response.

Ok, but this is my concern. The media will be after him his entire presidency. The Demoncrats in Congress will be after him the entire time. He has to be able to respond forcefully and quickly. We can’t have another Bush response team.

Now his team can learn to better handle onslaughts, but they do have to recognize that there has to be a quicker, stronger response.

Shame on her. She is intelligent, easy on the eyes, but to hear that, I will shut her off (on Fox) whenever she comes on. To h with her then.

The single biggest upshot may be that it got Cain protracted and unmitigatedly positive coverage on Rush. Prior to all this, Rush’s primary focus seemed to be clarifying that just because Cain was advertising on his show didn’t mean he had endorsed Cain. Since the scandal broke, Rush has been batting hard for Cain, if only to show how trashy and duplicitous the MSM has been. It’s been a net plus all the way around for Cain.

Waiting on Rush to explain......
