Cain Wasn't Kidding About the Killing

Palin-esque phony presidential-run-qua-book-tour self-promotional con man (and given the complete disarray of the GOP at the moment, accidental savior flavor of the moment and "frontrunner") Herman Cain lied to fluffy haired fluffy brained David Gregory on "Meet the Press" yesterday, saying that his comment about stringing an electric murder-fence across America the Beautiful's southern border was "a joke."

Quite apart from the deeper truth that everything about Cain as a presidential contender is "a joke," and quite apart from the deeper truth as well that genocidal torture fantasies aren't "a joke" to anybody who isn't a sociopath, I think the actual clip of the actual comment leaves little doubt that Cain meant what he said and that it wasn't "a joke" and that, if anything, he thinks anybody who doesn't share his self-righteously cruel and bloodyminded daydream is "a joke."

Roll tape, you judge:
