Cain's Bimbo Eruption

As a rule, I am always willing to give someone the benefit of a doubt.  Even though Herman Cain completely denied any sexual harassment of his accusers, something just didn't pass the smell test.  Something just didn't seem right.  The first two women could not be taken seriously since neither were willing to come forth with their stories.  A third said she "thought" Herman Cain sexually harassed her.  I wonder if she ever "thought" she was pregnant.  Either you are or you aren't.

Now, there is a fourth woman by the name of Sharon Bialek who said Herman Cain groped her groin.  I'm thinking, and you just sat there while he did it and didn't call the police?  Furthermore, we now are finding out Sharon Bialek is something of a gold-digger, filed bankruptcy twice,  has the infamous Gloria Allred as her attorney and now is making the network morning rounds even though she "has nothing to gain."  Right.  Sharon Bialek reportedly "hugged" Herman Cain at a Tea Party event last month.  It's difficult to know who to believe.  Bialek has little in the way of credibility if she actually hugged Herman Cain at that Tea Party meeting.  But, she apparently is going to milk her 15 minutes of fame for all she can.  I see her as not much more than an opportunist and a charlatan.

The old saying of where there's smoke, there's fire come to mind here.  There is too much smoke coming out now on Herman Cain.  By fighting with the news media, he invited more probing into this past.  The latest report is that now a fifth woman has come forth and said Herman Cain acted inappropriately toward her.  I'd say that just about ends the long shot bid by Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain.  The latest Gallup Poll practically cements this statement.  Were these allegations true about Mr. Cain?  Or is this just, as Mr. Cain described, a "high tech lynching" by the liberal news media?  I suppose we will never know the answer to those questions.  I do know the news media acted totally different in the bimbo eruptions of Bill Clinton.  The news media actively worked to discredit the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.  Herman Cain should have known, or someone should have told him, if he gets involved in the presidential campaign, any skeletons in his closet will come out.  I suspect Mr. Cain is acutely aware of that fact now.
