Herman Cain Cancels Dinner With NYC Media Elite

[The Straight Story]

As Herman Cain's woes continue to mount on the presidential campaign trail, he abruptly canceled a private dinner with New York's media elite planned for this Sunday.

Cain had reached out to New York Post columnist Cindy Adams to host a gathering at her Park Avenue apartment so that he could meet some of New York’s top journalists and politicians.

Among those on the guest list were Barbara Walters, Matt Lauer, Bill O'Reilly, Lesley Stahl, Senator Chuck Schumer and Greta Van Susteren who recently interviewed Cain and his family on Fox News.

...

Cindy Adams tells NY1 she received a call this morning from Coale after Cain asked him to cancel the dinner in case he drops out of the race.

1. Circling the drain....

2. Why are those Media "elites"

hobnobbing at a private party with Cain anyway?

It's a disgrace the way the media folks suck up to the powerful in this country. Every time Andrea Mitchell comes on TV I can't help but think of who she's married to and it makes me sick!

"Van Susteren's husband, lawyer John Coale is a friend of Cain’s and serves as an advisor to him.

8. Time for the Mrs. to get out w/ as much as she can ASAP

[Whisp]

13. would be great if it was She who made all the money on a tell all book

after the divorce.

Almost feel sorry for the Cain fool. He was riding so high, so cocksure, so confident that he could pull a Sarah...

no wait, I don't feel sorry for a sexual predator at all. May he skulk away to a dark corner and never be heard of again.

[Botany]

15. she has no need to write a book.

She can sue for 50% of all the assets he accumulated during their marriage.

I hate to say it but I just "knew" that he had some "problems" in his past after seeing him
for the first time.

[Whisp]

16. I agree, he knew he was only in the race for a while

because he also knows all those skeletons are rattling around waiting to burst out.

Question is, did he make it further than he thought and is pleasantly surprised, or was it cut a little short of what he had hoped - the notoriety, the book sales, the, the fun of it all.

9. Aw, but we were just starting to have fun!

14. Cancelled "in case" he drops out?

I think the conditional has passed. So long, Mr. Cain. You were quite amusing while it lasted. Please feel free to disappear forever from public life.
