    Herman Cain Heading To Versailles This Week To Pretend He Cares About Cuban Issues

    A candidate making a pit stop for cafecitos at Versailles isn't exactly hot news, even for a guy improbably still leading the GOP after a month fending off more sexual harassment accusations than Gene Simmons' tongue.
