Herman Cain changes his story


Now he remembers the women who made sexual harassment charges against him, and key details

The unlikely GOP presidential contender Herman Cain had scheduled himself a big day in Washington, D.C. to talk about his economic plan Monday, but Politico changed his agenda. For a while, that seemed like it could be good news for Cain.

When Politico dropped a thinly sourced bombshell story about sexual harassment allegations against Cain back when he ran the National Restaurant Association, I thought it might actually help the former Godfather Pizza CEO. Anything would be better than trying to answer questions about his “9-9-9″ tax plan, I reasoned, and early this morning it looked as though Republicans were rallying around Cain as a victim of “liberal media.” Laura Ingraham suggested her talk show listeners should “Occupy Politico,” and Rush Limbaugh insisted the publication is racist. Listening to conservatives denounce Politico as liberal is great fun given Politico’s ties to the Republican Party.

and of course goes on Faux to explain himself

Cain Reveals Details of Sexual Harassment Charges

In an interview with Greta Van Susteren scheduled to air on Fox News Monday night, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain for the first time revealed details of what he says are part of the sexual harassment claims leveled against him while he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association

"I can't even remember her name, but I do remember the formal allegation she made in terms of sexual harassment," Cain said of one of his accusers, who he recalled was a writer in the association's communications department. "She was in my office one day, and I made a gesture saying, and I was standing close to her, and I made a gesture saying, ‘You are the same height as my wife.' And I brought my hand up to my chin saying my wife comes up to my chin."

Cain says the incident was investigated by National Restaurant Association's general counsel and human resources department. "It was found to be baseless," he insisted.

The GOP hopeful also offered insight into the settlement of the case saying, "My general counsel said this started out where she and her lawyer were demanding a huge financial settlement, I don't remember a number, but then he said because there was no basis for this, we ended up settling for what would have been a termination settlement."

2. I wonder what Bill O'Reilly has to say?

O'Reilly after all sexually harrassed his show's producer, Andrea Mackris and, like Cain, had to settle the case out of court, with the plaintiff agreeing to be quiet for a sum of money. What we know about O'Reilly is what is contained in the court filings including Ms. Mckris' complaint. In count after, Mackris described O'Reilly's continuing phone calls to discuss graphically sexual matters. In count 81, she described a phone call during which O'Reilly had a dildo up his ass and ejaculated during the call.

I wonder, were complaints filed in court by Cain's accusers so that we could examine the details of what he allegedly did?

4. Dildo up his ass? Hmmm. Guess that fucking thing didn't suck.

[Major Nikon]

7. He bragged about his wife's dildo collection

I'm sure his wife is glad to be rid of his dum ass.

[Major Nikon]

5. They would have filed their complaints with EEO

While that process is ongoing (which may take months, if not years), the two sides will typically exchange settlement offers.

Nondisclosure agreements are standard in such settlements and are generally non-binding in reality.

9. Do you have any link to this? Because that "81" doesn't ring true to me, sorry.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. here

I tried to get to the original link at The Smoking Gun but my cheap computer freezes every time I try. This link is from the Topix news site, referencing some of the complaint's counts. And I guess mty memory is bad because the dildo reference was in Count 83, not 81. For weeks after this story came out, people were referring to him as 'Dildo'Reilly'.

83. During the course of Defendant BILL O'REILLY's sexual rant, it became clear that he was using a vibrator upon himself, and that he ejaculated. Plaintiff was repulsed.

84. Immediately after climaxing, Defendant BILL O'REILLY launched into a discussion concerning how good he was during a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno: "It was funny, they used a big clip of me...Right after Brokaw and Brokaw was absolutely the most unfunny guy in the world, and the audience got a big charge out of my...It was good."

85. After climaxing, Defendant BILL O'REILLY again boasted that none of the women he'd engaged in sexual relations with would ever tell:

"Nobody'd believe 'em...they wouldn't anyway, I can't imagine any of them ever doing that 'cuz I always made friends with women before I bedded them down."

86. Defendant BILL O'REILLY concluded stating:

"You know, Mackris, in these days of your celibacy and your hibernation this is good for you to have a little fantasy outlet, you know, just to keep it tuned, keep that sensuality tuned until you know Mr. Right comes along and then you can put him in traction...I'm trying to tell you, this is good for your mental health."

10. O'Reilly with a dildo up his ass?

:rofl:

[Kennah]

17. And all this time, I thought it was a stick.

19. The birch society is his friend. He pines for them.

3. Any story which portrays any Repubican in a bad light is automatically media bias

That's one of the great advantages to having a liberal media bias. Any story you don't like can be immediately dismissed as "liberal media bias".

It doesn't matter that the story was very well researched. It doesn't matter if what they are saying is true. It doesn't even matter if the media outlet has a conservative bias.

The portly drug addict plays the tune and the morans dance.

6. he was pretty transparent

. . . to anyone who's endured a liar.

Now he remembers . . . he's obviously trying to distance himself. Too bad, Herman. The truth is catching up . . .

[spanone]

8. he also remembers a settlement, and remembers it wasn't much....

[pokerfan]

11. Stick a fork in him

He's finished!

[malaise]

13. Olbermann & Ed Shultz are devouring him like

pizza :rofl:
Dig the hole Kochcain

[monmouth]

14. Awww, the pubs have lost so many "loves" this year. It's hard out

there...ooops, sorry.

[MadMaddie]

15. So he is a proven liar

Stupid idiot....I bet those women weren't the only ones harrassed.....

I find it amusing the right is all bent out of shape when they pulled out all of the stops against President Obama and trying to pigeon hole him into some false bullshit.....What's good for the gander....or something like that...

good...I want to see the real shit come out about Perry...
