[Mr. Fabtastic]

I love Cain but it troubles me that these weren't the words that immediately came out of his mouth (with smoke coming out of his ears):
This woman is a liar! We never had any kind of physical relationship at all! Period. Amen. She is categorically lying and so is anyone else who makes such claims. I have instructed my attorney to immediately file a defamation lawsuit against Miss White. She has attacked me and attempted to greatly harm my reputation and marriage. I realize that she does not have much money but a stand must be made and I make it today!.

Your post reflects my sentiments as well. Even if he was polite about it. If he simply said, “smiling, always smiling”, that being a presidential candidate, there was a lot of motivation for people to make false accusations, and then go on to categorically deny them. He could even joke about it with phrases like, “maybe I just need to schedule a daily press conference to address the false accusations du jure.”

But my main problem is that he is not denying charges and even leaving room for them being truthful in the way he responds. It is sort of an “I did not have sex with that woman” thing, with the reader/listener left with wondering what your definition of “sex” is.

That does bother me. And I have a clear record of being a huge Cain supporter.
