is herman cain a michael steele for the new decade?

will hermentum, the cain train 999, be allowed to be the smiling face of ignorant republican racism and self-hating identity politics just until he becomes a little too embarrassing, only to then be unceremoniously tossed into the gutter when a white lickspittle decides he wants the spot?  for the love of christ, let's hope so.  that's what i call fun.
