Who's Herman Cain?

Gail Collins thinks she's able to tell us, or tries to shed some light in today's New York Times. The Herminator is apparently mostly a self-promoting, self-help sort of guy. Kind of a "bait piece" promoter of nose-to-the-grindstone and you-can-be-anything-you-want-even-if-you-have-no-known-abilities sort of person. We all love that. It's the American dream.

One of these days I'm gonna run for president too. As soon as they bring back the Know Nothing Party. I don't know what they stood for, but I guess that's the point.
