Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has raised $2 million in campaign contributions in the week since sexual harassment allegations against him became public, his spokesman J.D. Gordon said today.

Well, OK, not the same one I was making. It's a different joke.
My point is that he hasn't been cashing police welfare checks to fund his investigation into himself.
