It would seem that several factors were responsible for the

decline and fall of Herman Cain:  'political gravity' (The

Politico), the Democratic Party (Power Line), and the

Media (Herman Cain).  Yes, everybody and everything

were to blame---except Herman Cain. 

Meet John Hinderaker: 

Lawyer,

Blogger,

Kochsucker.

"Mr. Hinderaker, how long do you think it will be before

Faegre & Benson mirengoffs you?"

And Commander Koch Smote the Enemy

with His Mighty Hinderaker

"It is infuriating to see overpaid, underworked,

and greedy teachers trying to muscle in on

the privileges we overpaid, underworked,

and greedy lawyers have enjoyed for

so long."

"Paul, an insider at Akin Gump tells us that you're now referred

to by your fellow partners as 'Morongoof'.  Would you care to

comment on that?"

Paul Mirengoff and John Hinderaker

Remember when Power Line was named by Time

as 'Blog of the Year' for 2004? Those were the days,

weren't they, when George W. Bush was still viewed

as the greatest President since Ronald Reagan! What

you probably don't recall, however, is that 2004 was

also the year John Hinderaker was named 'Air Pianist

of the Year' by Imaginary Ivories magazine.

"I've noticed," writes Andy McCarthy, "that Paul Mirengoff
frequently forgoes the necktie — lately, even in public
appearances. That reminded me — I have no idea why — that
the Iranian regime has shunned the necktie ever since
Khomeini pronounced it a symbol of Western decadence."

"I almost never watch CNN except when I'm at
airports. Then I often can't help it, since CNN
has bought the rights to broadcast from boxes at
pretty much every gate in America. The worst is
LaGuardia, where the CNN sets are turned up to
an ear-splitting volume and there is no escape.
Quite honestly, I'd rather be waterboarded!"

Scott Johnson is thought to be the last man
in America to learn the 'naughty' meaning of
teabagging. Next up for Scott: the 'naughty'
meaning of Johnson.

Some people read a dull book to fall asleep.
Others read John Hinderaker's blog.

Scott Johnson is depressed. Can't you tell?

When the word came down that Paul Krugman had been

awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, Power Line

experienced a series of rolling blackouts.

Q: What do you get when you put Charmaine Yoest between

Scott Johnson and Paul Mirengoff?

A: A Turkey Jerky Sandwich.

Only with the aid of his jetpack could John Hinderaker

(AKA 'The Hindrocketeer') put John Bolton's towering

intellect into the proper perspective.

"There are two kinds of terrorists: live terrorists 
and dead ones.  The basic object of anti-terror
 policy should be to turn the former into the latter.
 Hello, my name is John Hinderaker, and if you dis-
agree with me, you must be a live terrorist. But
if I had my way, you wouldn't be for long."
