Herman Cain.........and sexual harassment. SEXY

Perhaps you've read by now, but Politico broke the story that 2 women who had accused Cain of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association had been given settlements and signed a nondisclosure agreement when they left.

Talking Points Memo put together a rough timeline of what the Cain campaign's response has been. It is pretty interesting:

1. Politico allegations are false. Story is crap.
2. Yes, there were allegations. But they were false.
3. Yes there were allegations that were false and I don’t know what money was paid.
4. I don’t know whether money was paid. And it would be wrong for me to find out whether money was paid because it’s confidential.
5. There was a in-depth investigation. And I was cleared. But I don’t know anything about it.
6. Here’s the gesture that led to my getting accused of harassment.
7. Okay, I remember some discussion of a settlement number.

Kinda hard to know what to believe, right? Rush Limbaugh has accused the attack as coming from racist liberals and Anne Coulter explained for the world why "our blacks are better than their blacks." And went on to explain why President Obama wasn't really black, not like Herman Cain.

WTF?

But, things have gotten interesting. One of the women involved in the case has hired a lawyer to review the documents that she signed. She is seeking ways to be released from the nondisclosure agreement, so that she can tell her side of the story.

The ill led response to from the Cain campaign proves that he couldn't be the nominee. They obviously weren't prepared for this information to be revealed. Who made that decision? This is the campaign to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Of course things like this will come to light and the campaign needed to be prepared to handle them.

Crash.
Burn.

At least there is a debate next week, which I am sure he will be in! I will miss him though, he is funny.
