    True. How long in the past was his "affair"?

    I think it helps if you can say some bs like, "we were having a rough time in our marriage, but we've repaired things since then."

    If it's current, or ended just before you decided to run for President, that's a lot harder.

    Forgive me for missing some of the details of the story, but what led this Ginger White character to come out of the woodwork anyway?

    I understand the sexual harassment claimants doing so, particularly when other people broke the story anyway and they just chose to jump on board.

    But why her? She was a full participant.

    Seems like a total dick move on her part. Simple case of a woman scorned?

    Guess: With his finances about to come under review, Cain quit cutting checks. She went revenge to sell her story to make up for the lost income.

    She said it was always cash.

    Though, you've got to think the NRA was paying for her airline tickets for the time he worked there. But, maybe too long ago for them to have records.

    "I am not going away."

    Go away Herman. Go far, far away. You're just another bitter disappointment, proving how many pissants this country has to consider for this job. And, you do nothing for that stereotype that black men are big-time women players. You are as big a player as they come. So go fuck yourself for a while.

    Meanwhile, Cain scores big. His personal recognition factor is through the roof. Speaking engagements? Bingo. And a talk show? Virtually a fait accompli.

    And a ruined marriage.

    Worth it? Not to me.

    That's what the bastards want. Hell he'll be a cable news expert analyst.

    This whole thing is a fucking joke. I wish we could stop the whole process by constitutional order where campaigns do not start, nor fundraising, until Jan. 1 of the election year.

    Understood, but the question is how he feels about it. I'd be shocked if FOX didn't offer him a job.

    Bright guy, but not bright enough to understand that he WAS going to get exposed, by someone looking to relate a story.
    And if he wasn't prepared for that, he shouldn't have taken the leap.

    He fucking lied deliberately.

    Sandusky says he's not a monster.

    Boeheim calls the accusers of his pedophile assistant "liars."

    Bill Clinton said he "never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

    The list goes on.

    We have no dignity.

    How much did he really value his marriage? Not much, from what I can tell.

    Also not sure he gets a TV gig or makes much on the rubber chicken circuit. He flamed out pretty badly, and lost a lot of credibility.
