That was fast: As part of its seemingly ever-evolving media strategy, Herman Cain’s campaign appears to have pulled the plug on blaming Rick Perry for the swirl of accusations surrounding the candidate.
“We want to move on with the campaign. Let’s get over these things that don’t mean anything to the American public,” Mark Block, Cain's campaign manager, told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Thursday afternoon.
But that’s not about to become any easier. Politico reported Thursday that one of the women who accused Cain of sexual harassment during his time at the National Restaurant Assn. received a payout of $45,000 to settle the matter and keep quiet.
Previously, the New York Times reported that a second woman received a severance of $35,000—which for her was a year’s salary.
The Politico report would seem to again put Cain’s credibility at issue. He has said the woman’s complaint is one that he recalls, but has described it as “baseless” and first said she received a negligible “termination" settlement of perhaps two or three months' salary.
He later shifted his account, saying the amount could have been larger, perhaps six months’ salary.
Block appeared on Fox News on Wednesday evening and blistered the Perry campaign, accusing former Cain aide Curt Anderson, now in the Perry camp, of leaking details of the harassment allegations.
But Anderson, in a round of media interviews, denied knowing anything about the allegations and had nothing but good things to say about Cain.
“I didn't know anything about this. It's hard to leak something you don't know anything about, of course,” Anderson told CNN on Thursday.

He said “tea”, which is a shortened way of saying “ tee tee” which is a slang word for urine, and since we all know where urine exits a man’s body then it’s obvious what he asking her to “doctor”. See? Now it all makes sense./s

It’s your birthday yet you give US the present! Thanks, Jim!
So in your esteemed opinion, whites who support black conservatives are “white trash”?
Goodbye jla, can’t say it was good knowing you.

That one was nothing but an insulting, vicious troll.
uh, that doesn’t mean blacks in the southern states didn’t and don’t use it - almost to the exclusion of all other ethnic groups in the south. I didn’t mean to leave out texas... people sure get testy quick around here.
I love Jim Thompson. :)
Public intoxication is not very "presidential."
It's kind of a strange thing to watch what I call the "mutation" process.
It starts out with some emotionally vested responses, mild personal attacks against one or more other posters, and a tendency to mild snarks.
Then it develops into even more emotionally vested responses, heavier personal attacks against a wider spectrum of other posters, and very heavy snarking.
Then it transforms into a kind of batpoo crazy emotional response, nasty vile personal attacks against a wide range of targets (even all of FR), and of course, results in the inevitable ZOT.
It's a strange phenomenon that I have watched for many years, over and over again.
As I read through the various FR threads tonight, I see a number of others who seem to be going through the same mutation process.
Kinda sad to see it happen sometimes, other times, not so much.
Precious!
It’s like a beautiful flower. :’)
