PICKET: Latest woman to accuse Cain brings Chicago back in the picture

...O'Grady served as Mayor Daley's chief of staff for a number of years until 2007. Daley, no stranger to controversy himself, was recently slapped with a lawsuit last spring by John Brooks, Chicago's former fire Commissioner who sued Daley. Brooks claimed that Daley threatened to smear him over what Brooks said were false sexual harassment allegations if Brooks did not retire on his own.

I made no mention of O'Grady in any previous blog post. One Chicago radio host, however, did mention her name following my post on Emanuel. Other than that, why is O'Grady speaking up now?

Like many conservatives, I wouldn't support a candidate who acted like Bill Clinton. However, based on the evidence so far, it seems to be this is wholly Justice Thomas revisited- the dems' race industry must destroy a credible black conservative.

If you read this article, it seems that the Chicago boys (Daley et al)- are the ones who demonstrate a pattern and practice of extortion based on false allegations of sex misconduct- and the Cain allegations may stem from that source. .

Mr. Cain- should turn this episode back on them - just as Justice Thomas did---and he might actually benefit in the polls .

I also found the Chicago connection quite interesting. Will have to wait and see how this plays out.

I predict Herman Cain will prevail to become the next President of the United States.

I posted on another thread:

Chicago Tribune (pre-1997 Fulltext) [Chicago, Ill] 27 May 1993: 2.
Sharon Bialek ……. joined O’Grady Sales Promotion Agency as account executives.

Need to check to see if it is the same O’Grady.

Now we have Gloria Allrat, Daley and the ChiTown machine. This is being run from the WH.

This will be the straw that broke the camel’s back, or should I say the donkey’s back.

Verified so far:

*She registered as Repub in 2006, voted in 2008 primary & general
*She attended TEACON in Oct 2011 - Cain was keynote speaker
*on WIND radio in Chicago today on the Steve Cochran show, he had on the morning DJ, John Howell, who had worked with Bialek, was there at TEACON, and says he witnessed her walking up to Cain, having a brief conversation just before he was to go on to speak, and then saw Cain walk away. Evidently he (Howell) already had been told by Bialek about the "incident".

What this means I don't know. She may have already been approached, perhaps through a political hack like Sheila O'Grady, formulated her story, told it to John Howell at TEACON so she would have a witness of her speaking to him.
