Herman Cain: ‘I Am The Koch Bros. Brother From Another Mother’

Evan McMorris-Santoro November 4, 2011, 2:29 PM 1520 24


There’s embracing the Koch brothers, and then there’s Herman Cain.

“I am the Koch brothers’ brother from another mother,” Cain told a crowd at a Koch-funded Americans For Prosperity gathering in Washington Friday.

On stage at AFP’s “Defending the American Dream Summit,” Cain didn’t address the story everyone in DC is talking about — last Sunday’s Politico report on the sexual harassment charges that came Cain’s way while he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association in the late ’90s.

But Cain did mention another article about him creating some chatter today — the New York Times piece that’s the latest to delve into Cain’s longstanding relationship with AFP and the Kochs.

Cain said the story didn’t faze him.

“The article tried to make a case of close the Koch brothers and I are,” Cain said. “I’m proud to know the Koch brothers — I’m very proud to know the Koch brothers.”

1. eeeew

His demeanor is very Michael Steele-esque

:puke:

[tblue]

13. No.... Way worse.

Steele is just goofy and a party tool. Cain is mean and in love with himself.

[flamingdem]

19. Cain makes me appreciate Michael Steele! nt

[Blue Owl]

21. OK you and tblue are right...

Cain IS more evil than the Muppet Steele...

[warrior1]

2. Then you are what is

wrong with the country.

[Cirque du So-What]

3. Sickening

Such blatant rump-smooching make me wanna puke! Here's hoping the Kochs have lost BIG money on their 'investment.'

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. Ah, there's such fine pubic hair on my Koch

Please let me kiss your ass again, David.

4. Herman KochCain.

[Happyhippychick]

5. I thought this was a joke! Holy crap!

[joeybee12]

6. "I'm proud to know the Koch brothers." Translation: "I'm proud to be their puppet."

[Myrina]

9. "I'm proud to be their IGNORANT puppet" ... you mean ...

:puke:

[canetoad]

7. Another Mother.......?? nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. Good! Keep bringing up

their name. I know that these 2 jagoffs would have preferred to remain anonymous.

10. KochCain

will blow your brain n/t

[tblue]

15. +1 Clever! nt

[monmouth]

11. The Kochs have winter homes down here, down the road from the

donald actually. All very chummy. I don't doubt the kochs called the donald and asked him to defend cain, etc. I can tell you this. That statement from cain has the circle of friends in Palm Beach of the kochs and the donald doubled over laughing in between their OMGs..Believe me, he has no idea how they are using and exploiting him. They know rubes when they see them. If he wasn't so arrogant (cain) I'd almost start to feel sorry for him.

[Initech]

12. And you are outta here! Thanks for playing Cain, we have some great parting gifts waiting outside.

[bleever]

14. So he's saying: "I'm a bastard."

Hey man, we had already figured that out, but thanks.

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. What next? "I'm Hitler from another mister"?

[HereSince1628]

17. My guess is that Cain could no longer take WI in the general

Not that we are all that important or anything. But that Kochshundt is would have trouble running for rat-catcher next Nov.
