WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite her lawyer's claims, a woman who accused Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the 1990s is reluctant to talk about the episode in public. A person close to the situation said Wednesday that no decision has been made about asking the National Restaurant Association to release the woman from a confidentiality agreement that was part of her settlement. Cain led the trade group while the woman worked there. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the accusations and says the fact that the incident has become public is very unsettling to the woman. Joel P. Bennett is a lawyer for the woman and said Tuesday he was asking the restaurant association to release his client from the confidentiality agreement.

Because it was a quick smash and grab job. Why revisit something that it going to backfire BIG TIME?
Then why bring it up? Throw in the grenade, get your payoff, and run away? A drive by accusation.
If true, Red State has to be really upset that the leaker went to Politico. Why wasn’t Red State given this leak if it was from Perry since Red State carries Perry’s water? Too obvious?
Her reluctance will change when the check arrives.
So far, as I understand it, this whole brouhaha is about Cain saying things that made someone “uncomfortable.”
Really???
Exactly. Someone will mention Anita Hill’s book deal, and speaking fees, and appearance fees... and - viola - gab, gab, gab.
I hope that soon this is all over, that Cain has a clean bill of health and that Perry goes down in flames for trying to profit from this.
Just my hope.
I do believe that it’s time for Perry to get out (along with Bachmann, Santorum and the other lessers... though of course Ron Paul is there to stay as a kind of potted plant).
Romney (yuk), Cain, Gingrich and Paul (yuk).
It’s time for the race to get down to the 3 contenders and the potted plant.
Just my opinion.
And what do we know about lawyers?
She’s wary of revisiting the episode because it would be revealed what a lame-assed accusation it was.
I can just imagine why she is leery of revisiting the episode because it was pure nonsense.
Many of the women who file these lawsuits are looking for a man and didn't get him. I have seen some of them start the flirtation and then claim they were sexually harassed. Too bad the tables can't be turned on these women.
But it's okay that Herman Cain is out there in the public, twisting in the wind. OUT THE BYOTCH!
Whether she knows it or not, her name WILL come out, And soon.
So it is quite possible that the women didn’t know this was going to be made public?
Powerful men have always been stalked by women.
Anyone who thinks that’s never ever happened in history has been living in a cave.
Actually, I’m suspecting that she did this more than once, and that might really explain alot if her name comes out and another boss reveals that he paid her for the same type episode.
Years ago, I worked with a guy who told me that his former company came to realize they’d hired some gal who’d done a accusation episode twice in her career. Course, this came out after she’d already been hired. From that day on...anytime time that she was called to an office...there was a second person kept in the room to monitor the entire conversation. Everybody came to know her behavior and most were fearful of being trapped in some game of hers.
Give back the settlement money and you can talk your head off.
Stand firm Herman Cain!
My view is that her lawyer expected Cain to fold like a typical RINO and shot off his mouth just to get his 15-minutes.
Cain is made of much stronger stuff and a lot of folks on the Left now look to be in Oh-$h!t mode.
If there is a confidentiality agreement and the woman doesn’t want to talk, then who talked? Maybe one of the lawyers involved?
