Sharon Bialek, a woman employed by the National Restaurant Association’s Educational Foundation in the late 90s, accused Herman Cain of inappropriate sexual contact today in a press conference with celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.
Bialek said she first met Cain when employed by the NRA as a manger of industry relations. She lost her job there shortly thereafter, and at her boyfriend’s suggestion, arranged to meet Cain in D.C. over coffee in 1997 to discuss her career. She told Cain what hotel she would be staying at; when she arrived, she had been upgraded to a suite, which she later found out had been through his doing, although she says she was not aware of that at the time. Cain also switched their meeting to a restaurant. After eating, Bialek said the two drove over to the National Restaurant Association headquarters; she assumed he would show her the offices.
“He suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg, under my skirt, and reached for my genitals,” said Bialek of what happened next. “He also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch. I was very, very surprised and very shocked. I said, ‘What are you doing? You know I have a boyfriend. This isn’t what I came here for.’ Mr. Cain said, ‘You want a job, right?’ I asked him to stop and he did. I asked him to take me back to my hotel, which he did, right away.”
Bialek said she told her boyfriend and another friend that Cain had been “sexually inappropriate” to her at the time, but said she had not detailed what occurred.
Bialek, identified by Allred as a registered Republican, said she saw Cain again about a month ago at a Tea Party conference in the Chicago area. She asked him if he remembered her. “He acknowledged that he remembered me from the foundation, but he kind of looked uncomfortable,” Bialek said. “He said nothing as he was whisked away for his speech by his handlers.”
As noted, before the press conference began, the Cain campaign put out a statement saying the allegations were “completely false.”
I was thinking that too. Does she have multiple Vagina’s?
I will wait and see how this thing works put before making my decision on his guilt or innocence, but Gloria Allred and the fct that she is even in touch with this woman raises my suspiscions of her.

Oh, Johnnie... the steering wheel defense ain’t workin’ sweetie.
Lots and lots of men and women can tell you different.
In HER statement, she actually said that she was employed in 2006-07. It is why most of the rest of the story did not make sense until I decided that she misspoke.
Another Anita Hill...nuff said
LOL. Pull a womans head down to your crotch, she’d have a bruise on her forhead, cause thats all she’d hit. Unless the man man was 7 foot tall and the seat was wayyyyy back...
Somebody with hacking skills please check the accuser’s bank account to see if she has any recent large deposits.
I don’t know if Cain is the right man to defeat obama.
I don’t know that Cain is really up to being president.
But this much I know: the media is helping him here, because WE are not going to put up with this S&*$%! anymore. THEY are not going to take out one of us, using these typically lowlife, liberal scare tactics!
Granted, she doesn’t have a case. But I don’t think most women, Liberal or Conservative, want to be propositioned that way.
Of course, only if it is true. And Cain says it is not.
Yeah. Because whenever a Tea Partier thinks they need a lawyer Gloria Allred is the first name that comes to mind. ROFLMAO
I agree. I can't imagine her NOT talking about it to her boyfriend, unless he was a mobster and she was afraid Cain would get shot.
Ezxellent observation and sage advice. I wished my 5 minutes of thinking was as productive. I could think 10 minutes then call it a day.
Good point!
Not that I know for sure, but it would take quite a bit of manipulation to get to the unzipped area. Who did the unzipping? Now you can bet the zip or unzip will be out in the media, cause they didn't think of that at the time..
This guy has an interesting posting history.
If I din’t know better, I’d say he was a stealth troll.

He has handled it poorly, but he has time to recover and learn how to handle these BS attacks. Rats and media will attack whoever the Republican nominee is. How often do you think you will hear the atrocities of “Mormons” from the media if Romney gets it, or how Newt left his wife in hospital if he gets it. At least now they went a bit over the top with Gloria A. and this women in the attack. Won’t work the wheel will now turn. PS he needs to get a better team, his current advisers are not real strong.
Accuser ‘I just had it done’ Allred tells her to shut up

Now going to be on Piers Morgan and CNN. Thought this was it...Something has to pay Allred’s fees.
Any of the obvious body language when someone is lying, ie looking away, blinking, (remember John Edwards?), etc. White woman or black woman?
Sounds like this would be easy to dispel.
This woman is not his employee.
Lastly, if this actually happened, I think there would be a pattern of behavior as long as your arm....Where are these women?
Sounds pretty fishy.
Let’s not forget that Bill O’Reilly had this same thing happen and he silenced the woman with 6 figures...
Maybe it was that awkward kind of uncomfortable because he could not remember her from 15 years ago. Sheesh!
James Gregory played the bufoon Senator who complains to wife Angela Lansbury that she keeps changing the number of communists that he's threatening to expose in his daily press appearance, and he can't keep the number straight. Can't she just give him one number to remember?
Lansbury yells back to him, Idiot, I give you one simple thing to do, can't you just do it? While you keep changing the number of communists in government, the press will report the changing number instead of looking elsewhere into other things that are going on. It's no longer "are their communists in government, it's how many communists are there?"
That's what the Leftist MSM is doing to Cain.
The script is now "Is it one woman, two women, four women, more? It's no longer "Did he do it?"
