Cain Says He Dropped Out Of Fed Consideration Because It Doesn’t Pay Enough

I’d be surprised if even his family believes it.

Well, I have new respect for Mr. Cain. He openly admitted that he doesn’t give a shit about our country or service to the country - all about the money, money, money.

WOW, an honest Republican.

All those people who are hoarding gold in anticipation of the economy crashing spectacularly are deeply disappointed that Herman won’t be there to help it along.

Since the outcome is a good one, the reason provided is sufficient (even though I think it is probably nonsense).

He discovered this only now, since Fed governor’s pay is a secret revealed only to nominees, and to them only late in the process. The thing he didn’t point out is that he also would have had to fill out ethics disclosure forms and put some of his holdings in blind trusts. (The amount of money that could be made by illicitly trading on Fed actions would be staggering. Hmm.)

With that lie you’d fit right in, Herman.

Everybody needs an excuse. In the world of people who are really qualified for the job the “low” pay isn’t important. The position is important for a lot of reasons important to professional prestige. Professional prestige doesn’t concern Herman one little bit.

Of course, you get 0 pay if your nomination is voted down in the Senate, which was likely to happen.

What a coincidence, I was just deciding not to be an NBA player because I didn’t want to be limited to wearing one brand of shoe while playing!

It’s called public service for a reason. At least he was honest. Now fuck off Hermie.

Very refreshing. Cain spoke his true feelings from the bottom of his heart…

…which is 0.11 mm deep, the same as a $100 bill

Sounds like a line from Hans Christian Andersen: ‘‘Damn it! I’m fully clothed, OK. In fact, I have BRAND NEW CLOTHES. Stop saying otherwise.’’

Uh-huh. And you ran for President before, why, exactly? $400k ain’t much more.
