Three Time's a Charm

for Gingrich in the Republican Roustabout.

The field looks really pathetic- clownish if you ask Chris Matthews of Hardball. And the circus continues with Gloria Alred defending yet a fourth woman who has sexual harassment allegations against Cain. He's so done it's amusing to watch him flail like a fish out of the water of contemporary sensibilities.
This clears the unlikely path for the Non-Mormon, Non-Harassing Gingrich who is on perpetual book tour with his wife, who has a children's history book of her own without children of her own. That's because she is wife no. 3 in his latest adulterous romparoom- but to his credit, he didn't harass her- it was totally consensual. They married and stayed married, and that has more staying power than the gratuitous harassment of half a dozen women just trying to do their jobs with a little dignity.

The foibles of Cain strike one as neanderthal in a world where it is still lamentable that men don't seem to get it. As someone with a working niece, executive working sister and god-daughter, I have to say it makes me sick that men still don't get it, as if women didn't have to work FOR A LIVING. Or to support other people- as if we live in a world where mortgages and rents of women are paid by a mysterious male benefactor or trust fund so women can all just afford to lose their jobs unless they submit to the male ego demands of attention and flattery or a brutish harasser.

I think I am going to be sick. It appears a thousand times more serious to me that Herman Cain was clueless how to behave himself as the boss than that Gingrich had a sincere, albeit sincerely adulterous relationship with someone that was actually Love based and lasted through the years. At least Gingrich has the sense to be discrete-especially when prosecuting Clinton hypocritically for the same faults and fax pas.

The Republican camp is a circus this time around. And he without sin can cast the first stone and stay home when it comes to voting for anyone. The disaffection of the masses is going to by default give it to Obama.
