[wilt the stilt]

35. very attractive

I imagine she was a knockout when she was younger.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. She's up. At dinner and lunch he spoke to her. She is praising him

as inspirational. One month later she was let go. Reached out to Cain for another job.

She asked to meet him in DC at NRA. Cap Hilton. Meet? He said lobby bar

Checked in and she had a palatial suite. Cain arranged !!!

Met in bar, had drinks. He asked if she liked room. He smirked and said he upgraded her

Why are you here ? Cain

Need Job

I'll look into it. Cain

Parked the car after dinner at NRA

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Reached over and put his hand up her skirt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. pushed her head toward his genitals

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. told her boyfriend and her friend after

[FrenchieCat]

39. Ooh Lawd! This is getting quite interesting!

[Evergreen Emerald]

40. oh my god

he is toast. The specifics are....not presidential.

[qanda]

42. She is very believable!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

45. think so too. but him coming out with the truth is not going to save him

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. didn't file a complaint because she had already left NRA....didn't

want to come out today ....but wants to give a face to all who go thru this and have no voice.

Asking Cain to come forward and tell the truth

"make this right"

[NatBurner]

44. damn herm

the push-down? shameful

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. "the push-down" hahahahah

[NatBurner]

62. you want a job, don't you? © herm

not THAT kind of job, asshole!

what a dick move, herm
you just met this woman for pete's sake

the push-down is at least a fourth date maneuver

what a loser lol

[Kahuna]

46. He's toast. I can't see the repukes attacking a beautiful, blonde,

republican woman like that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. His statement just released - HE'S DENYING EVERYTHING NT

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. Shoot MJ verdict taking over the news. what timing. nt

[Kahuna]

51. Of course. That woman is gorgeous. Who's going to believe he didn't

hit on her. Nice try though, Herb.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

52. toobin saying it was an 'assault" (not harassment since she didn't work there) nt

[yellowcanine]

66. Agree with first statement - Second statement, not so much. Her beauty and poise will likely be used

against her by the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc. As for her Republican - ness... Somewhere there will be a brother, father, mother, sister, third cousin, ex-boyfriend, ex-neighbor, etc. who worked for a Democratic candidate for County Council in Podunk, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan - take your pick. That is all it will take to transform her into a Socialist Whore.

[Submariner]

48. Bye bye Hermie

[tabatha]

53. Cain has a "denying, denying, denying plan"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. Nein, Nein, Nein (Conan)

[krawhitham]

55. Should be a paper trail of Cain upgrading the hotel room

[Laura PourMeADrink]

57. course that's not a crime...but fishy

[yellowcanine]

68. From 1997? Not likely. His alleged words were damning though.

"I upgraded you," Bialek says Cain told her.

Not, "I upgraded your room for you." which would have been rude enough to do without asking - but he said "I upgraded you" - that is just tawdry and objectifying - akin to offering a woman money for sex.

[Bragi]

56. Jackson verdict big foots newser!

Unreal. No networks are taking the q and a's, they are all off babbling about other stuff.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

59. He allegedly grabbed her head and pushed it down to his crotch

This guy is sick. This is more than sexual harrassment. It's more than a case of someoe relentlessly pursuing a woman in the workplace and making repeated sexual references, like Clarence Thomas. This is assault and battery.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

60. toobin says same thing

[bigdarryl]

63. he was trying to FORCE her giving him oral sex if true he's a SICK PUPPY

and its probably not the first time he's done this.It looks like he goes after white woman a sister would kick his ASS if he tried this with them.

[gateley]

61. Interesting - I was wondering if Cain was one of those dumb fucks

who don't realize that their "compliments" are in fact harassment. But pushing her head down to his crotch? Toast. Those poor women. :(

[Laura PourMeADrink]

64. statement

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/11/herman-cain-sex-harassment-new-accuser-/1

Herman Cain's campaign just e-mailed us a statement.

Just as the country finally begins to refocus on our crippling $15 trillion national debt and the unacceptably high unemployment rate, now activist celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred is bringing forth more false accusations against the character of Republican front-runner Herman Cain.

All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false. Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone. Fortunately the American people will not allow Mr. Cain's bold "9-9-9 Plan", clear foreign policy vision and plans for energy independence to be overshadowed by these bogus attacks.

2:02 p.m. E

[gateley]

65. I just read that, that and a poll showing the GOP doesn't care

about the allegations. :grr:

[oberliner]

70. What is his clear foreign policy vision?

Has he rolled that out yet?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

78. lol...All I have EVER heard him say, and he is sticking to it, is

that we don't know who are enemies are and we don't know who are friends are and we need to figure that out. Plus it's a dangerous world - need more military spending.

It's a very very bold plan.

[skip fox]

69. With Gloria Allred as her attorney we have someone

who will not back off because of the bluster of lame Cain.

I still predict he'll be gone by the week's end.

If not the direction his polls take will remove him from serious contention. The polls among Republicans might not immediately drop but when they become aware of his unelectablitiy (due to the reactions of of independents &c.), is polls will tank shortly . . . maybe not among republicans, but independents &c., they'll turn back to Rommeny.)

It prob. would have been best for Obama to run against Cain, but that's probably out of the question.

[oberliner]

71. Who beneifts from Cain's exit?

I predict the rise of Newt.

Lord help us all.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

72. Probably But He's Unelectable As Well

.

[oberliner]

73. Which Republican do you think is electable?

Hard to see one among that crop.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

74. Romney And Huntsman

[oberliner]

75. They are both Mormons

I think that will be a dealbreaker for a lot of fundamentalist Christians.

Also the RW talk show crowd seems to hate Romney (and Huntsman isn't even on the radar).

[Yavin4]

76. Well, Newt Married The Woman He Sexually Harrassed

So, I guess that makes it okay.

[NYC_SKP]

77. Here is a picture of the victim, Ms. Bailek, with Ms. Allred: (ps fuck yerself, Cain)

Thank you, Ms. Bailek, for your courage.

:patriot:
