Jonathan Capehart on Herman Cain’s “friendship” with Ginger While

From Mediaite: MSNBC contributor Jonathan Capehart had a word of warning for sex scandal plagued Republican candidate Herman Cain on Friday: he better watch out for his wife Gloria!

“When Herman Cain goes home tonight and there’s a plate or pot of hot grits on the stove or on the table, he better run!” Capehart exclaimed. “And fast!”

Jansing earlier asked Capehart about his Washington Post column entitled “Stupid People Are Ruining America” — named after a Herman Cain quip. In his piece, Capehart writes, ““Stupid people are ruining America,” said Herman Cain this week. Truer words have never been spoken by the former front runner for the Republican nomination.”

“Stupid people would try to have you believe that a 13-year affair with a woman who is not your wife to whom you’re giving money over the last 2 1/2 years and sharing text messages — some as early as 4:26 in the morning — is just your normal, everyday friendship.”

Gingrich stand by anti-child labor law comments

Newt Gingrich stood by his controversial stance against certain laws governing child labor Thursday saying his previous comments were “spun out of control” by “the left.”

“Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works,” the former House speaker told an audience at the headquarters for Nationwide Insurance.

He then seemed to imply that a young, poor individual’s only likely source of possible income would be from breaking the law.

“They have no habit of ‘I do this and you give me cash’– unless it’s illegal.”

Gingrich added that most successful businesspeople he knows started work “early” and made some kind of money when they were kids, whether it was by babysitting or mowing lawns.

Almost two weeks ago Gingrich called laws preventing child labor “truly stupid” and suggested students take the jobs of many janitors.

Michele Bachmann would close non-existent US Embassy in Iran

In light of the British Foreign Ministry pulling all U.K. nationals out of the British embassy in Tehran, GOP presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann told a crowd in Waverly, Iowa, today that she would close the U.S. embassy in Iran.

One small, tiny note: The U.S. hasn’t had an embassy in Tehran since 1980. Following the Iranian Hostage Crisis, where 52 Americans were held for 444 days, the United States cut all diplomatic ties.

According to reports, Bachmann applauded the U.K.’s move, adding, “That’s exactly what I would do [if I were president]. We wouldn’t have an embassy in Iran. I wouldn’t allow that to be there.

World AIDS Day event: The Beginning of the End of AIDS

Featuring President Barack Obama, President George W. Bush, President Bill Clinton, Bono, Alicia Keys and others.

At the event, President Barack Obama announced a new target Thursday of securing treatment for six million people by the end of 2013 and urged other countries to step up in the global fight against HIV, singling out China as one of the world’s economic powerhouses that has yet to adequately do so.

President Obama said the treatment goal over the next two years covers two million more people than originally proposed.

“Few could have imagined that we’d be talking about the real possibility of an AIDS-free generation,” the president said at the ONE Campaign and (RED)-hosted event that included remarks via satellite from former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. “But that’s what we’re talking about. That’s why we’re here. And we arrived here because of all of you and your unwavering belief that we can — and we will — beat this disease.”

Watch ONE and (RED)’s exclusive broadcast from Washington, DC Thursday, Dec. 1, World AIDS Day 2011.
