All-purpose Herman Cain fun thread

Re: Herman Cain's sexual harassment history

(P)eople are on to the sexual-harassment scam. . . . It’s obvious that these alleged victims and their lawyers — no matter what they may say publicly — are champing at the bit to come forward for their day in the limelight and the inevitable book deal. Who can pass up being the new Anita Hill, who to this day periodically receives glowing newspaper profiles?

It can only get worse for Cain.
Maybe a clean-cut guy like Joe Paterno can endorse him.
No, wait...

So after a full term of a presidency, you still think people are going to continue to blame George Bush for the economy? I am not sure I agree with that.

I think some will.

I think others will blame Obama.

I think most will blame a Republican Congress beholden to Wall Street and moneyed interests, who will have been in control of Washington for two years and by then have done nothing to improve things. And please, we all know that "but the Democrats control the Senate" means nothing if you allow the extra-Constitutional filibuster rule to limit majority vote, such as it did with this week's infrastructure bill.

And still others will blame a banking system that instead of offering loans, tries to charge them $5 a month to use their debit cards. And not many voters will hold Obama responsible for banks.

Throw it all together, and you have plenty of people who will hold their nose and vote for Obama instead of a candidate they hardly know, who belongs to a party that's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt supports billionaires and their job-cutting, polluting corporations over the common man.

Like I was saying, people are going to blame the 1 percent, not Obama...

More than three-quarters of the country says the nation's economic structure is out of balance and favors a very small proportion of the rich over the rest of the country. They say America needs to reduce the power of major banks and corporations, as well as end tax breaks for the affluent and corporations. Sixty percent say they strongly agree with such sentiments.

BTW, the poll shows Obama increasing his lead over Romney.

Dahlia Lithwick with an excellent response to Derbyshire and Thompson's vomit-inducing remarks:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2011/11/herman_cain_s_conservative_defenders_are_going_totally_overboard.single.html

This isn’t just an effort to discredit Cain’s accusers. It’s an effort to dissuade women with genuine complaints from coming forward to report them. Recall that one of Cain’s accusers has declined to come forward precisely because she is afraid to be the next Anita Hill. The cost of reporting harassment is not just “the filing fee and a printer.” It’s the fear of being treated precisely the way these still-nameless women have been treated: like hysterics and liars out of the Chaucer era.

Re: Herman Cain's sexual harassment history

Limbaugh belabored the point to stress that Bialek's last name was, according to him, pronounced like "buy-a-lick."

He even made crude slurping noises to drive his point home.

Geez, it's almost gotten to the point where you can't make ANY suggestions or jokes about blow jobs with your female colleagues and underlings. I don't know if any of us want to live in that world.

If anything Cain has clumsy moves and opening lines.

Re: Herman Cain's sexual harassment history

Cain was on Kimmel last night. Kimmel made fun of him in the monologue, they showed footage of the Gloria Allred press conference and then Cain came out as the second guest.

Just strange... He's a creepy dude.

He's a question - Bill Clinton contends that oral sex is not sex and if so - how can asking for oral sex be sexual harassment?

And no I'm not seriously asking for an answer. Just pointing out a double standard.

I'm with you, but I don't think anybody was buying it in then and nobody is buying it now...

Apparently Cain has a press conference later today to address the scandal(s).

Not so much a double standard as Bill Clinton being wrong.

Clinton wasn't looking to trade employment for sexual favors.
