maybe this woman's completely full of shit. Could be. but again - the wise words, demonstrating cain's terrible judgment:
face the awful truth: There were sexual harrassment charges leveled at Mr. Cain. At least one was awarded -- for whatever reason --- a cash settlement (don't nitpick over "severance" nonsense).
Like it or not---this is the truth. Cain was concerned about this when he ran for the Senate a few years ago. And now he's asking us to believe this is all a big plot against him.
Not even he believed in his heart of hearts that this wouldn't "come out". Doesn't really matter by whom---you want to play in the major leagues, you come trained and prepared.
Cain knew it was a potential fireball, and he did not prepare himself. And he had years, not days, to do so.
Why bring up something, when you're not guilty and an investigation has shown such allegations to be BASELESS?? That's just DUMB!!!
Whether Cain was sufficiently prepared or not makes no difference, if the charges have no merit, you address them and press forward. Cain has done that.
Politico/Joe Bennett hyped it up to make it appear that the only reason the two women ain't talking is the confidentiality clause. NRA waives it; they say ZIP!!!!
Cain was GONE, when the severance deal was made (yes, I will nitpick). Cain had nothing to do with the issue. One of the women admits that there were other issues involved with her leaving. So, a severance deal makes sense.
Bennett made claims against Cain, violating the agreement, despite not even having it in hand himself. Once he got it, SURPRISE!!!! Cain's name is nowhere on it at all.
