Cain’s Assembly Line Lechery
From evidence so far, the Pizza Man’s skirt-chasing seems as random as his economic studies, making casual passes at objectives but cheerfully taking nein-nein-nein as a final answer and moving on to keep selling.
After lurid testimony by Woman #4, which led the PBS NewsHour, #5 comes as a letdown, with Cain, after a speech in Egypt, asking to be set up with a woman in the audience, then trying to settle for a USAID worker and finally dining with a group, stiffing them (and ultimately taxpayers) for two $400 bottles of wine.
Such assembly-line lechery recalls Bill Clinton, of course, but not to make light of any sexual harassment, without passion or panache, but more of a reflexive response.
In his press conference yesterday, Cain says he can’t remember his Monday accuser. If the emerging pattern is accurate, he may be telling the truth about that.
With a trickle of women who said no, the question is how many, under persistent pressure to get or keep their jobs, said yes and would now be too ashamed to come forward?

Et tu, Mr. Stein? “Lurid” testimony??? The word is not a good fit when describing what the woman had to say. In my estimation, of course.
I also heard that you were a cheap tipper and had adulterous affairs in years gone by.
Oh…I’m sorry…not true? Prove it.
If, as it seems, the stories about Cain are true then he deserves to be condemned
However these kinds of stories do bring out the good old double standard.
I am sure some defending Cain now were quick to condemnd Clinton.
Similarly I am sure some who are now condemning Cain were quick to dismiss any claims against Clinton as “being between him and his wife”.
Aint politics fun ?
Cain was never a “Family Values” candidate, so I don’t care if he has sexual indescretions. They certainly don’t up his stock on my book, but I really don’t care. They settled with him, its in the past.
What I do care about are his plans, his attitude, and his willful ignorance on major issues, and that he was a front runner despite them. It makes me really worried that THIS is what is going to drag down his campaign, not the fact he is totally not qualified to be president.
