The Whizzinator

While many of us occupied various places around the globe in the name of better government with less influence for people like the Koch Brothers, their chosen candidate spent the weekend making sure his skull was unoccupied. Herman Cain idiocy No. 1: Controlling the U.S.-Mexico border with a fence

“It’s going to be 20 feet high. It’s going to have barbed wire on the top. It’s going to be electrified. And there’s going to be a sign on the other side saying, ‘It will kill you — Warning,’”

Later Cain said this was a joke. He has not said likewise about the following, idiocy No. 2:

“I do not agree with abortion under any circumstance,” he insisted. “Exceptions for rape and incest?” Gregory asked. “Not for rape and incest,” Cain replied. “Because if you look at rape and incest, the percentage of those instances is so miniscule that there are other options.”

"There are other options?" What the hell does that even mean? No explanation forthcoming. And for those wondering why the Koch Brothers love him, listen to idiocy No. 3, his explanation of his 9-9-9 tax proposal:

GREGORY: And you think those people are going to rally around tax reform where the wealthy pay less and middle-class and lower-income folks pay more.

CAIN: Yes.

Good luck with that one Pizza Man.
