   I read down Costa’s twitter page and was surprised to find him applauding Jon Karl asking Cain about the Politico charges, as though it were necessary, rather than a diversion from the brief time at AEI focusing on the 9-9-9 plan, when Costa had already heard that the sex harassment issue will be dealt with later in the day. What foolishness.

   All I want to know is, whose pubic hair was it, and was it on a can of Coke or Pepsi?

   Reporter raises hand. Cain checks list.
   Your organization took 7 months to report John Edwards was screwing an ugly space cadet while his wife was dying of cancer. Try again next year. Next.

   As I’m reading this about so-called “sexual harassment”, we aren’t talking about any quid-pro-quo nor physical touching nor even about asking someone back to ones room for a cup of coffee while “trapping” the woman in the elevator

   It’s all about these conveniently anonymous females own “perceptions” of “unprofessional” words/suggestions that made them “feel uncomfortable.”

   What.the.fuck.

   Cain was asked directly, what will buoy your campaign, it being outside the establishment? The people, said Cain. Well, how odd, right? The people make politics: it’s a novel idea!

   Who do I talk to about Politico sexually harassing me with inappropriate sex talk?

   The only thing interesting about this story now is who fed it to Politico?

   what bothers me, too, is I don’t necessarily doubt that Cain may have been accused of “harassment” AND some sort of $ was paid to make the women go away.

   There are a lot of people out there that try to manufacture a lawsuit lottery claim. I was almost the target of one myself. Any time one is in the position of supervising other people, this “the perception of the receiver is reality, regardless of the intent of the speaker” sh*t is behind this malicious mischief.

   This is a nasty distraction that must be challenged again and again.

   Herman Cain is a businessman first, which means he’s had plenty of sexual harassment avoidance training by necessity. When a man can get accused of supposed deviancy for complimenting a woman (“nice dress” or “love your hair”) or for holding a door ajar and smiling, one must learn quickly to carefully guard every utterance and prejudge every physical motion. And even then, after years of careful and controlled behavior, a ‘trained’ feminist can ‘pick’ whatever signal she wants to imagine, and can then build a case out of absolutely nothing, using smoke and mirrors. Happens every day.

   The higher up in an organization one advances, the deeper one’s pockets are perceived to be, the better target one makes.

    Off-topic, but back in the day you dialed 9-9-9 in Ireland and England to get to emergency services.

    Now it’s 1-1-2.

    Which, think of *that* as a tax plan!
