Often times, when some politicians speak, comedy writes itself. Comedy as in dark humor, in that you will often wonder how idiotically disconnected some politicians are with general public’s sentiment. Last week Herman Cain surged to the top of Republican primary candidates. After this interview, I believe that he will be a goner.

“I don’t have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration,” Cain said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. “Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks, if you don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself! It is not a person’s fault if they succeeded, it is a person’s fault if they failed.“

He didn’t have the facts to back this up and said it anyway? How incredibly stupid and irresponsible is it? Well, let Jon explain it in his usual witty way.
