Embattled Republican candidate Herman Cain was caught up in fresh sex allegations on Monday when an Atlanta businesswoman claimed she had a 13-year affair with the former pizza magnate. The woman, Ginger White, told a reporter from the local Fox affiliate station in Atlanta that she had been aware at the time he was married and that the relationship was "inappropriate". White, an unemployed single mother, said the alleged affair had been "fun", taking her out of her humdrum life. She claimed she had some evidence to support her claim, including text messages sent late at night. Cain, a surprise front-runner in the Republican race in October and early November, has steadily watched his poll ratings drop after three other women alleged sexual harassment. He is now lying in third place behind Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney in the polls. The former pizza company chief executive from Atlanta pre-empted White's interview by telling CNN more than an hour before the Fox programme: "Here we go again." Cain's lawyer, Lin Wood, issued a statement on his behalf, drawing a distinction beween this case and the earlier three women. "This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace – this is not an accusation of an assault - which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate. Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults - a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public," Wood said. Given this, Wood said Cain felt no obligation to answer media questions. Wood's statement did not contain a denial. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/201...affair-allegations-ginger-white?newsfeed=true
This Cain guy has made what is usually a boring pre-primary political season very entertaining. Every day, it's either a new Cain blunder, a correction of that blunder, or an accusation of something against him. The guy is even more unfit to be President than Obama was in 2008, but damn it, he's a showman!
Bill Clinton told Monica Lewinsky that he cheated on Hillary "hundreds of times," so Herman Cain is certainly no worse than our former two-term president.
In this regard, he's a rank amateur! I probably care about this about as much as I care about which womens panties HCP decided to wear today.
Except for all the sex crimes he's accused of, the fact he has less knowledge than I do at running the Federal government, his frequent brain freezes and blackouts, his lack of general knowledge is generally lacking, and his mother dresses him funny.
All this is sad news, because it means I haven't gotten to have fun nailing him on the 9-9-9 tax plan that his friend copied from SimCity. It's so complicated to Cain that he has always refused to answer questions about how it would work. He doesn't understand a tax plan that kids play in a game, but he wants to go around shouting his dumb plan. I could have gone on about what the ingredients in a Godfather's Pizza must be if the corrupt company put him on their board, etc. Sad, I'll never have the fun I was going to have.
There's a reason only idiots are running. The non-idiots are more interested in winning than running. The Republican field will be better in 2016, I imagine. barfo
