No news organization today mentioned Cain except his smart ass comment about Pelosi.

1. DU General Discussion is absolutely bonkers over it too

I stopped counting the number of threads on child molestation, the evils of football, etc. etc. etc. It's a very important issue but there seems to be some extra excitement over this particular story that I just don't get.

2. i was thinking the same thing. Cain is happy as shit

3. The lawyer for the 2nd woman is still trying to get the other women to agree to a

joint press conference. Maybe they're waiting 'til the assault scandal has died down.

And I've seen quite a bit of coverage of Cain on MSNBC today, and not just about "Princess Pelosi." They're also talking about how he said for every woman who has accused him of sexual assault, there are thousands of women who HAVEN'T accused him of sexual assault.

5. He's thinking in math terms - you got some negatives, but lots more positives!

4. But I see the two stories as very connected.

The mentality of those who surround both is that assault on any level is ok. The scenario covering these stories is sickening.
