Herman Cain flatly denies the most serious allegation facing him – that he made an unwanted sexual advance toward a female employee at a work event – but POLITICO has learned new details making clear there were urgent discussions of the woman’s accusations at top levels of the National Restaurant Association within hours of when the incident was alleged to have occurred.

POLITICO initially reached the woman on the phone about two weeks ago, when she declined to comment, and has not been able to reach her since then.

They can't inflate this balloon much more before it blows up in their faces.

This is just a bucket of caca. It’s like 6th grade, social media games. I don’t think it’s anymore than a clash/misunderstanding between Southern culture (Mr. Cain)and Chicago (liberal feminazi) culture. The two are NOT going to work well together.

Whoa. Some one at The Politico talked to a woman on the phone.

I hope they were able to calm themselves afterward without leaving too much of a mess.

Yep. And Politico has moved onto 2nd & 3rd-order aspects of this allegation — such as how the Cain campaign is ‘handling’ the allegations. Actually Cain’s defenders are engaging in this too. That alone shows that there is a shortage of factual material about what did or did not happen.

That's called "getting to the bottom of the metascandal."

These clowns at political keep digging themselves a deeper hole. Most people fortunately don’t believe the BS they are throwing around.

“They can’t inflate this balloon much more before it blows up in their faces.”

But you can guarantee that they will keep trying to inflate it. Their collective ego will not allow them to back off.

They have to wear booties on the job site where my son works.

One of the guys lifted up his foot and said, “You know, I actually like these booties.”

My son said (in a low growl), “You know I *love* the bootie!”

Everybody froze in horror.

A female coworker had walked in behind him and he didn’t see her standing there.

She actually had to make the decision on whether or not to be offended and verbally say whether or not she felt harassed.

My son is young and is rapidly realizing that he’s in ‘the real world’ of insanity now.

(I teased him that he’ll never be able to run for president now... sadly, that just might be true.)

Madness.

Still nothing specific. No named sources. Lots of “No comments”.

Witch hunt.

Geez, I am just DYING to see Ms. Anonymous. Is she a blonde? Brunette? White/black? Is she a “she” or is she perhaps an alien of some sort?

Not sure if we’ll ever find out .. .I guess we just have to leave it to our own imaginations, LOL.

Funny watching Politico try to wring more drips out of this dry old rag.

In other relevant news my uncle’s friend’s sister’s cousin’s hair stylist told me Cain winked at her once on television or so she thought.

We still need to come to grips with the cold hard fact that the CURRENT NRAss President is shown in a picture with Br'r Bennett (the lawyer) and John Podesta (Bill Clinton's last chief of staff).

Any real pro at deducing the clues in conspiracy theories KNOWS that's all the farther anyone needed to go to find the guilty parties.

Frankly, that crowd around Romney and his stalking-horse Perri, aren't smart enough to pull this off.

I think this is as likely to help Cain as it is to hurt him. Maybe more likely to help him.

Because obviously no one would have urgent discussions if they were being pink-mailed with accusations about events that never actually occurred or which had occurred but which were not sexually harassing. Urgent discussions are only for if you're guilty. [facepalm]

REGARDLESS of the GOP nominee, we can expect this a HUNDREDFOLD OVER when the election starts. They will accuse us of eating babies in satanic rituals.

They still have yet to show Cain did anything wrong.

Its been five days and no one knows exactly what happened 20 years ago.

Let’s tell the liberals to drop it and its time to move on.
