Best of Herman Cain Press Conference, TWITTER STYLE

I especially love Twitter when there's some kind of teevee event going that gets my political follows all in an uproar. Herman Cain is having a press conference to explain his history of failed sexual advances to unwilling subordinates, and my tweeps are all over it.

hey cool, Blogger posts copy-and-paste tweets with  code intact now!

 Jesse Taylor 

Having your lawyer introduce you at your sexual harassment press conference: legendary.

 Pete Nicely 

Herman Cain's lawyer also represented the Dukes of Hazard.

 Tom Tomorrow 

this guy comes off as an actor playing a lawyer. 

 Jesse Taylor 

Shorter Cain's lawyer: I know how victims of sexual harassment should behave. And as an expert, all of these women are liars.

 The Rude Pundit 

Where did Herman Cain find this simple country lawyer?

 Pete Nicely 

Herman Cain should have just asked Keenan Thompson do to this press conference.


 The Rude Pundit 

This fucker's name is "Lin Wood"? Is that the name of the man you want defending you from sexual harassment charges?

 Chris Geidner 

Cain lawyer: Cain accused "first by anonymous sources, and then by" ... un-anonymous people? Err ...

 Jesse Taylor 

This is an episode of Law & Order: SVU, right? Where's Casey Novak? You people are fucking with me right now.

 Howie Klein 

Did Cain get this lawyer out of the Yellow Pages???? Or meet him in the elevator on the way to the press conference?

 The Rude Pundit 

Shorter Cain: "I have harassed so many women, I can't remember them all."

 Markos Moulitsas 

Um. Sure! Please don't nominate him. RT: hahaha  &  tweeting like crazy 

 Amanda Marcotte 

PLEASE SING THE POKEMON SONG.

 Oliver Willis 

dear herman cain, its not "anonymous" if she HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY.

 Amanda Marcotte 

I wouldn't call them anonymous accusers. I would call them women who signed non-disclosure agreements after settling with the NRA.


 Oliver Willis 

herman cain refers to himself in the third person more than bob dole did.

 Pete Nicely 

Who is this Herman Cain that Herman Cain keeps mentioning? 

 jelani cobb 

Did Herman Cain just refer to himself as Herman Cain? Nothing says innocent like speaking of yourself in the 3rd person.

 The Rude Pundit 

You know, I'd've respected Cain a lot more if he'd just said, "I'm rich, you fuckers. Kiss my ass. I'm going home."

 The Rude Pundit 

Hey, Herman Cain: Is it a high-tech lynching if it's auto-erotic asphyxiation?

 Jesse Taylor 

Cain should just say that no black person has been this targeted since the Underground Railroad.

 James Wolcott 

That's not the Herman Cain I know, says Herman Cain, serving as his own expert character witness.

 Amanda Marcotte 

Don't report on the sexual harassment settlements of presidential candidates, because you know, their wives might find out.

 Markos Moulitsas 

"Don't drag my family into it. Let me tell you what my wife said."

 Bradley Herring 

My impression of every conservative ever: MEDIA! WAAAH! 

 Tom Tomorrow 

"I have never acted inappropriately with anyone." that's quite a statement!

 Amanda Marcotte 

How are the two settlements a "he said/she said" situation?

 Pete Nicely 

Herman Cain is attacking his accuser. You really expect more from a guy who would force a girl to have her rapist's baby.

 Uncle Dynamite 

"I. Did not. Have sex. With those sexy, sexy white women with the UH! and the POW! and the WHAMMOSCALAMMO!" - press conference rehearsal #1

 The Rude Pundit 

Cain: "So many people hate Mitt Romney that they'll take a serial fondler like me over him."

 Amanda Marcotte 

Wow, he played the "there is no such thing as sexism" card.

 Tom Tomorrow 

Oh tell me he didn't say that

 Pete Nicely 

If there were a left-wing conspiracy, it would be to help Herman Cain win the GOP nomination.

 Jesse Taylor 

The legal settlement the NRA entered into wasn't a legal settlement because of it not being one. Lie detector now please?

 Amanda Marcotte 

If the number of women accusing him reaches 13, Cain gets to declare them a coven.

 Jesse Taylor 

A settlement settling legal claims is known in many circles as a legal settlement.

 The Rude Pundit 

Man, Herman Cain is gonna be really disappointed about Herman Cain's press conference.

 Amanda Marcotte 

The National Restaurant Association settled with two women years ago because they somehow knew Cain would run for President one day.

 Pete Nicely 

If Herman Cain started forcing the microphone to his crotch, I'd know this is a dream.

 Matt Ortega 

Here's what I love about Herman Cain: he's so NOT a politician, he'll answer ANYTHING. Like Ron Burgundy reading a teleprompter.

 AdamSerwer 

Cain: I can't say this is a conspiracy, only that that it's a conspiracy.

 James Wolcott 

There are forces that do not want Herman Cain to become president, says Herman Cain, loyally standing by himself in this hour of crisis.

 Jamil Smith 

Herman Cain is virtually tied with  atop the Republican primary polls, eight weeks before Iowa. Remember that as you watch this.

 Oliver Willis 

the democrat machine is capable of going back in time and orchestrating sexual harassment charges for a guy who will never be president

 Pete Nicely 

Is this a bad time to mention that 9-9-9 is Marcus Bachmann's favorite sexual position?

 ThinkProgress 

Harassment claims against Cain product of conspiracy between: 1. Perry, 2. Dem Machine, 3. People who don't want a business man to be prez

 Mike Elk 

Heavy D died today - please cut away from herman cain presser to "Girls They Love Me" 

 Raven Brooks 

@ 
 the democrat machine is in fact the phone booth from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

 Oliver Willis 

the democrat machine is responsible for marty's parents getting together 

 The Rude Pundit 

This Cain thing is making "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" seem positively noble.

 Jesse Taylor 

"Democrat Machine of America" is the new "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy". Except much, much dumber.

 Oliver Willis 

Once you get the  up to 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shit

 Tom Tomorrow 

this is the most awesome presser ever

 Pete Nicely 

"My wife comes up to my chin" is the worst classic porn movie I've ever rented.

 Pete Nicely 

That settles that. I expect to never hear Herman Cain mention Herman Cain ever again.

 Charles Johnson 

I'll go out on a limb and say I don't think that really laid all the questions to rest.

 The Rude Pundit 

Well, at least Cain didn't sing, "Imagine there's no settlements."

 DemocratMachine 

The  is going just as we planned. FOR THE GRANDKIDSSSSS

 Oliver Willis 

 is looking for john connor

 Tom Tomorrow 

hard to believe he could top "uzbekibekibekistan" and not knowing China has nukes. But there you go.

 Pete Nicely 

The people applauding were obviously from Rick Perry's campaign. 

 Eric Boehlert 

you'll be shocked.....crew at Fox News though presser was awesome. "A+" 

 Brian McFadden 

I didn't watch the Cain thing, but I drew a mustache on a sock and touched myself inappropriately.

 Love Rhino 

Did you know you can order business cards that say anything you want? That's how I became Admiral Thrust Dixon, King of Sexing, Esq., DDS.

(okay, that last one wasn't from the presser...but c'mon, HILARIOUS!)

 Eric Boehlert 

you'll be shocked....crew at Fox News calls Bialek "scam artist" refers to her "rap sheet."  

 Oliver Willis 

 is formed when Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rahm and Soros join forces 


Twitter is why the internet was invented.
