Cain gives exclusive interview to Clarence Thomas’ wife
Cain gives exclusive interview to Clarence Thomas’ wife

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/11/03/cain-gives-exclusive-interview-to-clarence-thomas-wife/

In a bizarre twist, Herman Cain discussed the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas. Thomas, of course, is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who faced his own explosive sexual harassment scandal 20 years ago.

In the interview, Cain professes his innocence, and says the story is just another example of how Washington has a totally different mindset from the rest of the country.

“That is the D.C. culture: guilty until proven innocent,” Cain says.


Later on in the interview, Cain takes that point further by saying that there is a Washington “bubble” that is out of touch with “real people” he’s met elsewhere in the country. Cain, who has touted himself as a Washington outsider, said that was the reason that he is doing so well despite reporters’ bemusement at his surging campaign.


Really?

1. Well, she'd better be careful if left alone with him.
;-)

But it's not so much the DC culture as it is the Texas culture: that of Rick Perry. ;-)
Perry will use anything to get at a competitor. However, in this case he may actually have struck gold.

2. See Mr. Cain, that's not how it works
When you pay off a person who brings a sexual harassment suit against you, you've pretty much admitted you're guilty. It's not an issue of the D.C. culture of guilty until proven innocent. It's a matter of the fact that when you pay someone off to sweep a problem under the rug, it's essentially an admission of guilt. You may argue about the degree or level of guilt, but you have already admitted to it.

9. OMG...is Herman Cain an idiot??
So, not only are you embroiled in a sexual harassment trifecta--you're now going to align yourself with
another man who has also been accused of doing the same thing? At worst--people believe Clarence Thomas
was guilty. At best, they associate him with sexual harassment and Long Dong Silver, etc.

Oh Lordy!

I'm so glad that Herman Cain wasn't accused of murdering three women. He probably would have given his exclusive story to Charles Manson!

This man is a complete IDIOT!
