"Pics or it didn't happen" -- I commented at the time about how the entire episode was a set-up by the MSM and how well Cain had *avoided* the cheap shot, while threading the needle of making credible the accusations of "Uncle Tom" that the left had prepared for him, had he blown the episode off entirely.
Cheers!
Set up? Hardly. Cain went on Fox News flapping his lips.
