This is the blurb from Rush that I heard earlier:
This lawyer, Joel Bennett, is out there making it look like this woman's got a bombshell. That's what this means. He is laying the groundwork. He wants everybody to think this woman's got the goods; this woman's got more than a pubic hair on a Coke can. This woman can nail Cain, but she's being forbidden because of the confidentiality agreement -- and damn it, we want to be released! ... Except, according to the story, the lawyer hasn't contacted the National Restaurant Association yet to ask them if they will release his client. He's doing it all in the media. He's trying to add all this pressure. We're told that this woman? She's ready! (panting) This woman is loaded for bear!
She is ready come out and she gonna take Cain out! She gonna come out and she's got the goods, boy! She is gonna destroy this guy! She gonna take him out; she can't wait! ... Yet a few paragraphs later in the story we are told she's wary of her name becoming public, and that she is discussing with her family whether to make her story public. The Post article says that her lawyer is "calling on the Association to wave the confidentiality agreement," and then a few paragraphs later we learn he hasn't yet contacted them. I'm sorry, all I can do is laugh at this, at the picture that they are trying to create here. When has a confidentiality agreement ever stopped anybody that really wants to talk and really thinks there's added money at the end of the trail here?
I would think if Cain's accusers really wanted to speak up they would have found a way by now, especially if they think -- and (chuckles) I hate to say this but my family are all lawyers. But obviously they think that there's a payoff at the end of the trail here. That is why this lawyer's involved. Meanwhile, the news media is bashing Cain for not giving more details. (laughing) So the lawyer says, "Oh, yeah, my client, she's got the goods! My client can take Herman Cain down!" He's not saying that. This is what everybody's being led to believe by the way the lawyer is handling this. "This woman, she's got it all -- and it's juicy. Oh! It's more than just a hand up on the chin. It's something really, really bad out there. She can't wait to talk about it!"
Except she doesn't want her name published. She's so eager to talk about it her lawyer hasn't even called the NRA and asked 'em for permission yet to break the confidentiality agreement. Meanwhile, the media are bashing Herman Cain (laughing) for not giving more details, at the same time attacking him for violating the confidentiality agreement. So he's not saying enough while he's saying too much; and now CNN, for what it's worth, is accusing Herman Cain of "getting testy with reporters" this morning as he tried to make his way around Capitol Hill. He had to push his way through a phalanx of reporters who were pestering him about the sex harassment charges; and I don't know about you, if you look at the video clip, it looks like he was being very polite to me.
