According to a third lady who apparently had a run-in with Herman Cain back in the 1990s, being harassed by Herman Cain is pretty much exactly like dating Christopher Walken in the SNL skit, “The Continental.” Or chilling with a Kennedy. Except in this instance, no one got driven off a bridge into a river.
She worked for the National Restaurant Association when he was its head. She told The Associated Press that Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against him.
The employee described situations in which she said Cain told her he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his corporate apartment outside work. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation.
This is all kinds of super lame. Unless there’s a sex toy or an intern or a cigar or, for that matter, like thirty women he’s been hanging around with privately on the campaign trail, this really isn’t going to matter. Plus, its not like anyone was under the impression Herman Cain was making it to the big leagues, anyway. It doesn’t really make sense to keep hammering at this story unless someone’s really trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Justin Bieber is having a better day in terms of sex scandals.
The lack of creativity and innovation in these accusations leads me to believe we’re definitely dealing with a GOP inside job. Liberals always get way better stuff, like that time you were trolling Chuck E. Cheese in a tiger costume holding a bottle of Maker’s Mark, not that time you got a little to close to your secretary and threatened to get all crazy.
Cain seems to want to go balls to the wall on it being a product of Perry’s campaign, which makes sense considering Cain has already expressed interest in being Mitt Romney’s Joe Biden but it seems risky given that there are other angry puppets still in this race. It’s not like Herman Cain is batting a thousand on blaming the right parties this week, either. It remains to be seen who was the brilliant mastermind behind this little foible.
But seriously. Justin Bieber.
