Was Herman Cain being blackmailed? Is that why he was giving her money?

[applegrove]

Should the FBI be investigating?

1. Has Herb made that allegation?

Herb is a clown. Is candidacy is almost over.

And we won't be talking about him much 3 months from now, if not sooner.

[Brother Buzz]

2. It may be on his bucket list

[applegrove]

3. No. Nobody has made that allegation but Piers Morgan kind of danced around

that issue. I just wondered if anyone else has suggested this or is it just me?

[MADem]

4. No, he was booty calling her, and he probably kicked her to the curb

recently. Why? He's got bigger fish to fry, she's getting older, he figured the fling had run its course, and he's a sleaze.

Blackmailed? Yeah, one always texts little messages to one's blackmailer, at four in the morning, when the wife is asleep...!

[applegrove]

5. Oh yeah. Didn't know he was texting her that early in the morn.

[MADem]

6. Late at night, too....cheeky lad!

And this "friend" of 13 years was completely unknown to his wife? Sniff, sniff...I'm smelling a bit of a rodent!

[applegrove]

7. Poor wife.

[MADem]

9. If she were my sister, I'd say "Cash out, sis. Time for you to start living life on YOUR terms."

I'd tell her to hire a tax attorney with experience in corporate accounting and a divorce lawyer--the best one in the business she can find. I'd tell her to freeze the bastard's assets and cut that big old pizza pie in half. I'd tell her to make sure she gets the "stuff" she really wants, and nothing more--start fresh with a big pile of flexible CASH. Start new. Get out there and LIVE.

Life is too short to put up with an asshole you can't count on as you head into the golden years. The guy has been lying to her for well over a decade. He's despicable. There's no excuse for that kind of conduct.

[applegrove]

10. Yup. No point in living a lie. I could not stand it.

[kestrel91316]

8. Bwahahahaha! No. But she should have.

[ingac70]

11. No.....

12. I can relate to Cain

I did the same thing when I was married.

Our sex life sucked and I ended up with a side dish that I sent money and gifts to.

[pitohui]

15. sure but then did you try to run for public office in the family values party?

a man has money and he buys what he wants, fine, but don't then turn around and try to sell me on how *i* should keep my legs crossed and *i* should not enjoy the same freedom

cain is running for GOP platform, anti-freedom, anti-sex, for everyone except himself

fuck him, he's getting what he deserves and what ALL GOP hypocrites deserve

[aletier_v]

16. No, I eventually had to come clean and get a divorce

the guilt was too much.

Cain is really out there.

He's convinced himself of his own lies.h

[The_Casual_Observer]

13. He's a stupid ass really pushy mean nasty bastard who made money

being that way. He isn't for any manner of public service.

[pitohui]

14. he was giving her money because she's a whore

it's nice to call it an "affair" but if you're paid, and i understand perfectly well why you would want to be PAID if the guy is millionaire AND a fuckwit, so you SHOULD be paid to fuck him or he should go unfucked but i don't see why the fbi should be involved

she's trying to do the right thing by speaking up, at the end of the day, why should the fbi be looking into a woman getting some free trips and plane tickets?

gifts are not taxable and these pretty clearly fall into a gray zone of where any jury is going to say they could be considered nontaxable gifts as opposed to proceeds of prostitution, you can be a whore in the casual ethical sense but not in the legal sense and this is what we have...a felonious blackmailer no or we'd never have heard from her, he simply would have given her more money/plane tix to shut up, he's not poor

rich men have to pay for it, who is going to fuck a rich man for love? you could get a good looking poor man who would be grateful if you were looking for that kind of thing
