Mediaite ^ | December 4, 2011 | Josh Feldman

Now that Herman Cain is out of the Republican presidential race, we have officially kicked off the phase where everyone reflects on the ups and downs of his campaign. And on This Week today, George Will wasted no time in calling the ex-candidate "disrespectful" and a "charlatan" for using his candidacy to promote his book and not be a serious candidate bringing ideas to the table like everyone else.

It’s not new news. He spoke about it a few weeks ago and it seems that the Will’s are friends with Romney.

McConnell also mentioned that several in the race weren’t seriously aiming to win but to up their speaking fees and sell books.

If you’re a loving hubby are you going to tell your wife that unstable women are chasing your pants?

If they are, I sure would. Innoculation, if nothing else.

And give her all kinds of anxiety and jealousy attacks?

Oh please. My wife's going to be jealous because some "unstable woman" is after me? Not.

No, you’re going to refuse the women’s advances AND keep it quiet to the wife unless it gets so ridiculous that they begin involving her too.

And then stand up for it, dammit! If you really believe that's the right course for HC, then why didn't he stand up for it?

He has value to me as VP and as a human being.

A Hell of a lot more than, say, you.

Allow me to do this for the metro George Will, disclosure, his wife works for Perry. This is nothing against Perry, but Will never mentions this..

So all two of his viewers heard this.

I’m going to disagree.

I’m going to say the problem is that people, for the most part, are sh!tty.

No other way for me to put it.

Just look at margritte here...

I don’t watch the program, so it was news to me.

Will’s are friends with Romney’s and she works for Perry.

How cozy.

Actually, you are literally correct. I flew on a shuttle from NY to DC with George Will about 7 years ago and he is quite short.

George Will stock is in “junk” status.

Don’t forget that Cain was the only candidate who requested and received Secret Service protection. Must have been a reason.

So you are the “Great Defender” of George Will or just running your mouth about something you have no knowledge of?

A substantial number of moderate black voters will go back to Obama.

Perry’s last political ad was no better than McDonnell’s “I am not a witch”. Give me a break.

Pretty sure I just said Cain is not going to be anyone's VP, and he won't be. Herman is out and he is not going to be on the Republican 2012 ticket. Period.
