Notice the media has shifted to Perry's brain dead moment over further reporting on the women accusing Cain. Penn State gave the media a better excuse to shift attention to.
Sparks Fly in Allred vs. Allred : Courts: Feminist attorney’s former husband is the one drawing media attention at bankruptcy hearing.
February 26, 1992
Gloria Allred, the outspoken feminist attorney known for trying cases in both the courtroom and the media, is feeling the sting of such tactics in a long-simmering divorce dispute that has wended its way to U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Her adversary is her former husband, William C. Allred, a onetime aerospace entrepreneur who used to be portrayed as a docile spouse overshadowed by his famous wife. He later achieved notoriety as the “estranged husband” convicted of defrauding the U.S. government.

Allred describes her own experience as a single mother as formative - she gave birth to her daughter while still a student and split from her husband soon after. ‘When I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania I had a baby in one arm, a diploma in the other and I didn’t know where I was going in life,’ she says. ‘I was a single mother when my child was little. I was not legally required to take care of her. I could have had someone else take care of my child but I did it because that was my moral obligation and also it was a joy and I felt it was in the best interests of the child.’
Personal experiences played a large part in Allred’s decision to practise the kind of law she does - she has been a teenage bride, single mother, rape victim and double divorcee - seismic events she documents with matter-of-fact candour in her recent autobiography-cum-legal-advice book, Fight Back and Win.
‘I didn’t tell the authorities at the time because I didn’t think they’d believe an American girl against a well-known and respected doctor,’ Allred writes of the 1966 gunpoint rape in Mexico by a doctor who had asked her out for dinner.
Back in America she discovered she was pregnant and underwent an illegal abortion that almost killed her. She was rushed to hospital, haemorrhaging badly. ‘I remember one nurse saying, “This will teach you a lesson.”’

Born Gloria Rachel Bloom in Philadelphia to poor Jewish parents - a door-to-door salesman and his English wife - Allred met and married her first husband, Peyton Bray, at university. By 19 she was pregnant. Then she discovered her husband had bipolar disorder (he later committed suicide) and they were divorced before she graduated. Back at home with her parents, Allred took Bray to court for child support. He was eventually jailed for non-payment.
Later, after a masters degree in education, she became a teacher and moved to the Los Angeles black ghetto of Watts a year after the 1965 riots. Aged 30, she began studying law and working voluntarily for the National Organization for Women, meeting rape victims who had been too scared to speak out.
By now she was married to her second husband, the businessman William Allred, and in 1976 founded Allred, Maroko & Goldberg with two fellow law graduates. They focused on civil rights, discrimination cases and family law. ‘At the time I didn’t know anyone willing to be called a feminist attorney,’ she says. ‘But I insisted on the term because I felt it was important for people to get a positive connotation of the word.’

Yet she remains a polarising figure, given her track record of both the laudable and the joke-worthy. To her critics she’s an exhibitionist who not so much tackles as manufactures injustices - such as the time she sued the Boy Scouts for not admitting girls, accusing them of ‘gender apartheid’ - and relies heavily on trial by public opinion.
Her showy tactics - marches, sit-ins, fasts - have also come under fire. But they have often won results. In 1981 she presented a chastity belt to a senator who was an anti-abortion campaigner at a televised public hearing. ( He later claimed he had been ‘molested by a slick, butch lawyeress’.
Allred successfully sued for libel.) In 1987, representing a woman denied entry to a men-only private members club, she famously strode into the steam room with a tape measure, singing Peggy Lee’s Is That All There Is?

Born in Philadelphia to poor parents who had only eighth-grade educations, Allred attended the University of Pennsylvania, marrying a fellow student her sophomore year. Peyton Bray, her blue-blooded husband, became abusive and had a mental breakdown, and by the time Allred was a senior, she was a divorced single mother. Bray, who suffered from bipolar disorder, eventually committed suicide, and their daughter took her mother’s maiden name.
Allred’s second marriage lasted longer — she wed businessman William Allred in 1968 and they divorced in 1987 — but when asked if she might ever remarry, she retorts, “Why would I do that?”
But Allred is a doting mother and grandmother, and she is proud of Bloom, a divorced attorney, mother of two, and legal analyst for CNN and CBS News. Often asked what it was like to grow up as Gloria Allred’s daughter, Bloom always answers with one word: “Empowering.”

Good move by Cain and yes, you are right, the media seems to have moved on to other things.
Not because they disbelieve those whores. No. Not for a minute.
Maybe this is the major announcement that Cain has planned for Dr. Savage’s show tonight (in the second hour.)
