Cain’s 999 reasons to deflect blame
Politico reports that at “a crowded Big Sky Diner in Ypsilanti, Mich., Herman Cain took umbrage about being pushed on the ‘Princess Nancy’ line about former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”Gone is the pleasant demeanor that characterized his campaign until now:

“You know, I remember when Speaker Pelosi called me and the tea party people AstroTurf,” he said. “I don’t remember anybody asking about that story.”
So then, why apologize?
“So you all would stop asking me about it. Ok? Look, I’m about the big issues, fixing this economy. I’m not focusing on stuff like that. So ask her why she called the tea party people AstroTurf a couple of years ago. That ought to be the question.”
Well, that settles that. Actually, not. It’s an annoying and childish attempt to shift responsibility away from his own behavior. He is the one running for president, not Pelosi (thank goodness).

Wow. A rational conservative.
