Watch This: Tim Meadows Returns (!!) as Herman Cain

I know our US readers have been following the presidential candidates with aplomb (right?), eager to see who the Republican party will nominate for the presidency in 2012. Floundering among the current roster of candidates is Herman Cain: entrepreneur, former CEO and chairman of Godfather’s Pizza, and seemingly all-around likable guy.

But since last month, Cain’s campaign has been blighted by repeated accusations of sexual harassment and misconduct. (Ugh, and then the Ginger White stuff.)

Moving right along: where the heck has Tim Meadows been?? I feel like the SNL alumnus has sadly made himself scarce (although he’s apparently really busy, but whatever). Meadows! How I’ve missed you!

In this Funny or Die video, Tim Meadows plays the allegedly-handsy presidential candidate. It’s an “anti-harassment” training video and—well, I think you can see where this is all going.

The video went viral yesterday, but I decided it was one of those “Y’know, let’s save it for Saturday” things. Like, maybe the all-too-obvious pepperoni joke skims NSFW territory, so hopefully you’re already parked on your couch with your laptop for the weekend.
