Caught on tape.
Even as he is facing his own sexual harassment scandal, Herman Cain was caught on tape Thursday joking about Anita Hill, the college professor who lodged similar accusations against Clarence Thomas decades ago.
The exchange between Mr. Cain and a supporter was caught on tape by a Fox News camera at a campaign stop in Kalamazoo, Mich. It first aired Thursday night on the network’s “Special Report” program.

The joke.
According to the video, a person in the crowd mentioned Ms. Hill to Mr. Cain, who responded, jokingly, “Is she going to endorse me?” prompting laughter.
OK, so we knew Herman had a delightfully quirky† sense of humor. And the fact that his supporters think Anita Hill is funny just tells you so much about the modern Republican party, doesn't it?
But what I'd like to focus on is this: Fox News cameras caught this - and it saw the light of day. Romney continues to lead in the Murdoch primary, while it seems Cain has the backing of the bloated bloviator of Florida.
The idea of division within the RWNM is an interesting one and I intend to keep an eye on it. If the puppets are fighting the puppet masters are fighting as well.
†By "quirky" I do mean "utterly appalling to sentient life forms".
