Today’s letter to the editor of the Herald:
To the editor:
Herman Cain was forced out of the campaign by his immoral acts and lies about them, not by liberal ideologues as Joe Fitzgerald claims. Cain’s plummeting poll numbers came from conservatives who might have actually voted for him.
It’s true that other politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have dallied, gotten caught, and emerged with little damage. The difference is not their politics or their race, but rather their reaction to exposure. It’s obvious that Cain is lying through his teeth, and as usual, the coverup was worse than the crime.
As is befitting in an America which is increasingly post-racial, Cain was judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Kamens
Interesting rhetoric move, ending with a quote that in its original drew a lot of applause 😉
