Hey...I’M not saying he should take a lie detector test. HE said he would.

2nd...if you listen to the Chicago reporter’s statements about their interaction, it was a LOT more than shaking her hand. This reporter walked away with a WTF kind of reaction. It was backstage, Herman was leading in the polls, he’s a Presidential candidate, they had a hug and she was whispering in his ear for a long enough period to make this seasoned reporter wonder what was up.

It wasn’t just a handshake...

So knowing that, what do you think?

SHE was whispering in HIS ear. As a Baptist minister, he's trained to listen. That's what they do. He sounds like a very, very nice man.

The entire scenario depends on whether you've found him guilty without a trial or not. If you think he's innocent, you see him being polite. If you see him as guilty, he was day dreaming about brutally raping her and feeding her to his dog.

OK, since you say the encounter a month ago was "more than shaking her hand". let's just have the whole story as reported by WIND host Amy Jacobsen, who was there:

The Cain Encounter ...

They hugged each other backstage in a full embrace like old friends. She grabbed his arm and whispered in his left ear. She kept talking as he bent to listen, and he kept saying “Uh, huh. Uh, huh.”

Huh?

“I don’t know if what she was giving him was a sucker punch, but he didn’t put his arm down while she was talking to him,” said the Sneed source.

◆The “he”... is GOP presidential contender Herman Cain, who has been accused of sexual harassment by several women.

◆The “she”... is Chicagoan Sharon Bialek, who held a news conference Tuesday as the only woman to PUBLICLY accuse Cain of sexual harassment.

◆The Sneed source ... is WIND radio co-host Amy Jacobson, who tells Sneed she witnessed the Cain/Bialek encounter a month ago while backstage at the AM 560 WIND sponsored TeaCon meeting in Schaumburg Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center.

◆Quoth Jacobson: “I had turned on TV to find out who was Cain’s accuser, and I almost fell over when I saw it was Sharon Bialek accusing Cain of groping her genitals.”

“I was waiting for Herman Cain’s ‘Accuser No. 4’ to surface — and up pops Sharon!”

“I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked.”

“I recall Sharon was hell bent on going backstage at the TeaCon convention — where she cornered him,” said Jacobson.

“I was surprised to hear she claims she did not know Cain was going to be there. Cain was expected and was late.”

Bialek told the media on Monday: “I went up to him and asked him if he remembered me. I wanted to see if he would be man enough to own up to what he had done 14 years ago.”

◆The encounter: “It looked sort of flirtatious,” said Jacobson. “I mean they were hugging. But she could have been giving him the kiss of death for all I know. I had no idea what they were talking about, but she was inches from his ear.”

◆The introduction: “It all began when I took a convention break and joined my pals at the hotel bar. Sharon was drinking Mimosas with them. She said she was a Republican, a Tea Party member, had once dated [White Sox sports announcer’ Steve Stone] and had worked at WGN radio.”

◆The rendezvous: Sharon also said she was anxious to meet Cain again and had once gone to an afterparty with him and her boyfriend years ago. But she never mentioned he had sexually harassed her.”

◆The upshot: Bialek has since applied for employment in sales at WIND radio and is scheduled for a second interview Thursday.

In the first place, the idea of a "seasoned reporter" is a comic book cartoon. Second, the fact that a reporter would have a WTF look on his/her face is the natural state of affairs for idiots who eke out their living by reworking PR releases, tweets and bar-room gossip.

Gimme a break.
