Thank, “Mr. Elephant.”
The MSM is really trying to model this into a huge scandal.
I don’t see it.
Meanwhile, Bubba got to stay in the Oval Office after admitting that he had received sexual favors from a young lady not much older than his daughter.
OMG.
Bubba got to stay in the Oval Office after lying under oath about sexual favors he received from a young lady tramp not much older than his daughter.
Using moral equivalence to excuse Cain’s alleged behavior is unseemly. IF there are two women and each got a payout of between $35-45k from NRA, Cain is sunk.
Herman only worked for the NRA for THREE years for goodness sake. To have two complaints filed against you with those kinds of payouts in such a short time is very unusual to say the least. Trying to get people to believe they were frivilous and you can’t remember any details is ludicrous. If an attorney contacted NRA with a complaint (which they obviously did since on of the attorneys has already come forward), the NRA’s attorneys would have talked EXTENSIVELY with Herman about the allegations. They would not just cut a check for $45k without asking Cain if there was any substance to the allegations.
Cain said there were no skeletons in his closet. He was dishonest about that. He said the allegations had no substance. That is still to be determined. He said the payouts were a couple months severance. We are finding out that is not true either. If there is nothing to these allegations, he should be on the phone to the NRA demanding the documents be released for all to see.
Mark Block saying it is time to move on seems like a feeble attempt at damage control. I liked Herman, he had my vote. Now I am stuck with Perry or a fatally flawed Newt. Where is Paul Ryan when you need him?
It has the feel of something that was orchestrated, but not carefully enough and therefore went wrong.
The connection there is obvious ~ the Board at NRAss probably ought to look into this since it's their integrity that's on the block.
That's the really cool thing -- because of that, two wrongs now make a right!
