CainConnections.com

I just saw last week's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, and he had Herman Cain on for a satellite interview. Underneath Cain's face on the video was a little identifier that said it was Herman Cain, and that he was from: "CainConnections.com". Um, considering what made Mr. Cain bow out of the presidential race, is it really such a good idea for him to start a website as his public face that sounds like a dating or late night hook-up website? I mean, really: it sounds like "LiveLinks" or something like that, doesn't it? And after all these women came out of the woodwork to claim that he was having affairs and trying to initiate one-night stands, this website simply sounds like he's trying to set up more dates for himself, or trying to hook the rest of us up like it seemed like he had been hooked up, if you know what I mean. And I think in light of everything that's come before this, and especially for a businessman who ought to know how things are going to look, this website name is a bit ill-advised. But then again, maybe he doesn't know better, and that's how all these little relationships got started (allegedly) that sank his campaign. But one would think that at least one of his political advisors would have had the decency to tell him what this website name would sound like. Although perhaps they're still too cheesed off about how this whole thing ended to want to help him anymore: who knows. But I have a difficult time believing that anyone could fail to see the irony in him selecting the name "CainConnections.com" as his new website: it's just too hilarious to miss! Unless it really is what it sounds like...
