'cause everyone knows that "nine nine nine" means eat me first.

Let's break out the gag orders.

Sybarite: "My wife, obviously like most spouses, actually took it harder than I did because she knew about this, she knew that there was baseless from 1999,"


All your baseless belong to us.

In 1999, slander was beginning.

"Good morning, ma'am! Isn't it a lovely morning?"

"Up yours, nigg4r!"

"You have to remember! These are just simple people, of the land! You know... MORONS."

Herman Cain raped and killed a girl in 1999.

/Not too worked up about the allegations, as they're almost par for the course in politics.
//Still amused to see yet another golden child for the Republicans fall apart. They can't find and stick with anyone.

He should just admit that he did it, he's human, and he's changed over the course of 13 years.

Is it time for the GOP to start panicking yet?

Cain's tortured and contradictory response to sexual-harassment allegations was made even worse by the reckless, not-ready-for-prime-time effort at deflection. Rick Perry was behind this! No, it was Rahm Emanuel! No, it was a massive media conspiracy! No, it was Professor Plum with the lead pipe in the billiards room. That Cain remains floating atop the GOP field is less a tribute to his staying power than a cruel indictment of the remaining field of frivolous flops. When you cannot lure voters away from a man who is accused of several counts of disreputable behavior and who seems to lack an understanding of many basic issues, from the Israeli-Palestinian crisis to his own tax plan, you've got yourself a problem.

The saddest thing about this is that Politico gave Cain a ten-day head start to get a response together before running the story, and he STILL couldn't give a straight answer.

/His tax plan alone should sink his candidacy.

Sooner or later, someone is going to offer those women enough money to pay back their settlements so they'll talk.

This will be grand.

i wonder if "base" is code for the backdoor, if you know what I mean.

/exit only until 1999

Perhaps then his wife can explain why, if the accusations are braless, Cain paid off the accusers and had them sign a non-disclosure agreement.

You rang?

Replace braless with baseless.

The question is, how many women did he actually fark. All we're hearing is the women who were creeped out by him.

999

Muta: Replace braless with baseless.

Oh, I don't know...that kind of works.

FerneJohn: They can't find and stick with anyone.

They took Sarah Palinomics 101.

/they all failed
//they just stopped going
/
//I wouldn't be surprised, i've seen/overheard lots of managers make sexist comments, especially to waitresses, bartenders, women in the food industry

If democrats were the ones who broke the story, they'd have waited until AFTER the primaries...

sprag: Muta: Replace braless with baseless.

Boobies.

The restaurant association paid them, the lawyers did the paperwork.

Pinner: Muta: Perhaps then his wife can explain why, if the accusations are braless, Cain paid off the accusers and had them sign a non-disclosure agreement.

The restaurant association paid them, the lawyers did the paperwork.

And Cain claimed to know nothing about it, even after Politico gave him ten days to get his story straight before running the first article. Even if, giving him the benefit of the doubt that Cain really didn't know anything about the accusations before Politico warned him about the story, he had ten whole days to get more information, and failed miserably.

/Can we go back to laughing about his policies? 'Cause they were a lot funnier.

B-b-but, you libtards supported Clinton post-beej so vote republican.

Muta: Perhaps then his wife can explain why, if the accusations are braless, Cain paid off the accusers and had them sign a non-disclosure agreement.

As others have stated the lawyers did all that (I think it was after he had left the company).

He may or may not be guilty but the fact that the company found it cheaper in the long run to pay them off rather than fight it in the court doesn't really prove anything. Someone just did the math and figured the cost of fighting it out in court (with the risk of a greater settlement) plus the negative publicity outweighed the cost of just paying them off right away.

watson.t.hamster: As others have stated the lawyers did all that (I think it was after he had left the company).

Why did they have a need to do that?

HighOnCraic: Is it time for the GOP to start panicking yet?

No. Because his supporters sympathize with him rather than his accusers. They don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with being creepy and handsy with the help. They are them and anything that happens to them is fair game and they should just laugh it off and not take it so damn serious. Meanwhile if anyone says anything to even mildly disparage one of us then it's persecution!

It's all the more reason not to vote for Cain -- he literally doesn't give a rip about the lives of large swaths of the country.

DROxINxTHExWIND: My wife, obviously like most spouses, actually took it harder than I did because she knew about this, she knew that there was baseless from 1999

LOL. Yeah, that's why she took it hard. She's not upset that multiple women have come out to say that the man who pledged to love her until death was trying to screw them when he was on the road. She's not upset that there are probably a number of women who accepted his advances and didn't complain, and potentially exposed her to a slew of health risks for as long as a decade without warning her. She's not upset that rumors of infidelity are embarassing and her little inner circle is probably talking shiat about her and her family...she's upset that Herman is being treated unfairly.

Lest we all forget why we consider sexual promiscuity while in a monogamous relationship to be an egregious breach of trust in this society.

Muta: watson.t.hamster: As others have stated the lawyers did all that (I think it was after he had left the company).

Why did they have a need to do that?

For the reasons I clearly lined out after the sentence you decided to stop quoting me at.

Consider: I am going to sue you. You're innocent, and we both know it. But I have enough circumstantial evidence to put together some sort of a case. You can spend a million dollars in court fees, have your reputation dragged through the mud, and possibly lose due to an incompetent lawyer or sympathetic jury and be out far more money, or you can just give me ten grand and I'll agree to drop it.

The moral thing is probably to fight it in the courts and let justice prevail. The sensible thing from a business standpoint is to just go with the pay off. Companies do it all the time.

Like I said: I have no idea if these accusations have merit or not, but the mere fact that they settled out of court doesn't prove anything in this country.

Good point. Nice call, Dro, along with the other points you made.

I think it was a huge mistake for Cain to announce (at the beginning of the week) that his wife was going to make a public appearance and then announce (later in the week) that she wasn't. The guy had ten days to figure out how to respond to this, and it looks like he spent less than ten minutes coming up with a plan.

/Imagine the outrage if a "liberal" news organization had given Bill Clinton a ten-day warning before printing a negative story about him!

If you're being accused of sexual harassment, blame yourself!

The guy who is essentially campaigning on "I don't need to know shiat, I'll just hire an expert to tell me" is showing that he also doesn't know shiat about crisis management. I guess the crisis management expert is too busy staying out of groping distance to help.

So twenty years after this hypothetical scenario has transpired you're asked about the time you were sued.

You can say pretty much what you just said there. It was easier and financially prudent and expedient to just pay a settlement and sign NDAs instead of dragging it through the courts and possibly risking greater costs and possible greater harm to the company.

OR

You could say that it never happened, that you don't remember it happening, that it might have happened but you don't recall specifics, that you DO recall specifics but that the accuser was a gold-digger, that you aren't going to talk about it anymore, that you ARE going to talk about it but only with a friendly one-on-one journalist like Geraldo, that you don't remember, that you DO remember, now you don't again and also 9-9-9 and they're only hating you because of your religious views or the colour of your skin.

That first plan sounds good. That second plan is what Cain did. Not so good.

"My wife, obviously like most spouses, actually took it harder than I did because she knew about this, she knew that there was baseless from 1999,"

Just like Herman, she knew it was baseless, then she heard of it but no settlement, then she knew of the settlement. What will she know next???

Its really tough when you just want to do your job and stay on message and people keep asking you personal questions and making sexual jokes at your expense. Its a tough environment to work in.

Cain molestered me too. We were sitting in a parked car behind the porno theater at around midnight when out of nowhere and without consent he came on to me and started messaging my groin through my latex underwear. I was shocked and offended by it. All I want is for Mr. Cain to do the right thing and admit what he did was wrong so that I can have my dignity back.

No, I didn't cum.
