Here’s what I gathered about her from the Daily story. Turn-ons: horses, puppies, Truth. Turn-offs: scoliosis, Cuban boys who escape communism, double-breasted suits that exude power.*

Just so we’re clear, I’m not passing any judgment on this woman. I don’t know her, and neither do any of you, most likely.
Instead, I’m poking a bit of fun at the way this story is written. I mean, Jesus. This is what it looks like when a minor-leaguer does it and the brush strokes show.
They didn’t apply the gauze filter effect to the photo at the beginning. Amateurs.
Karen Kraushaar currently serves as a communications director at the Inspector General’s Office of the Treasury Department, a position she has held since last year.
Hmmm.
Next year I’m writing in “Herman Cain” when I vote.
I really don’t care who is on the ballot anymore.
The first woman looked like she was the goalie for her college darts team, and this one, well, which one in the photo is the alleged victim and which one is the horse? Seriously, what’s the point of being rich and powerful if your lechery is so bargain basement?
There are a number of statements that go, “She never wanted”, “She had no desire”, and yet her every action leads right to what she never wanted or desired.
So. What is he alleged to have done? Wore a particularily aggressive and manly aftershave around this poor, disabled woman?
Don’t worry Herman, Mitt’s got your back.
Hell, I’m writing him in in the primary if his name isn’t on the ballot.
This has been mentioned before but we’re dealing with a guy in his mid-sixties. Yet, all these complaints come from a roughly three year time period when he headed the NRA.
Now, even though we can all see through the Politico and this piece, it remains an unfortunate fact that we’ll likely never know the truth of this. (Not saying Cain did anything here. I’m saying that he said/she said can’t really be resolved.) That’s probably 90% of the explanation for why some horny, sleazy dudes do it and why some opportunistic, sleazy chicks lie about it.
But, why are all these complaints from that time period? People generally don’t just decide to go hog wild for a couple years without past incidents and then just as quickly reform.
I’d be much more likely to begin to worry about a pattern of alleged behavior if it was that, a pattern. Not some weird cluster of allegations that sprang from nowhere and then ceased.
I wouldn’t say they’re lying, at this point. I do note that they’re making these very public accusations in an extremely coy manner.
Shit or get off the pot, sez I.
It’s D.C.
I suspect lie by omission in the case Bialek brings. Bialek, if my surmise is right, will never fess up to any omission of (sexual) acts on her own part in the story she tells with Cain. Cain can say what happened, if he chooses to place himself in a light of faithlessness to his wife, if Bailek came on to him and he succumbed to that. Bialek, I believe, trusts that Cain will not do that, but will, as she puts it, withdraw from the race, simply. But why? I want Bialek’s honest motivation to destroy Cain’s campaign, and not the bullshit “doing what’s right” she’s claimed to represent thus far. Cui bono? Who or what is she working for?
The beauty if this kind of allegation is that everyone knows it’s he said/she said, and so proof is impossible, and therefore not expected. What is expected, for some, is that the accused give proof and explanation refuting the allegation.
It’s the seriousness of the charge, you see…
I’m not playing that losers game. Show me proof of the allegation, or I don’t believe it.
By the way, Wasn’t Edwards was in court recently for criminal charges he used campaign money on his baby mommy? What ever happened with that?
I expect Cain to deny doing anything improper at all. If these women lacking, as they are, in sophistication misinterpreted his benign intentions, that’s their problem.
Cain did deny doing anything improper. Repeatedly.
His mistake was in wondering what exactly he was denying before denying anything.
Amateur.
I agree with bh. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that there isn’t a long-time pattern of behavior. On the other hand though, it might explain the alleged heavy-handed incompetence with which he pursued things. One has to assume that, for whatever reason someone would choose to go on the prowl after being in a relationship for 30 years, smoothness would not be the defining characteristic of their efforts.
“One has to assume that, for whatever reason someone would choose to go on the prowl after being in a relationship for 30 years, smoothness would not be the defining characteristic of their efforts.”
I would actually assume the opposite.
So not practice, but spontaneity makes for smoothness (perfect)? That seems upside down to me. Though Cal’s pop maintained “perfect practice makes perfect”, so there’s that.
Cain’s news conference, C-Span livestream.
I would actually assume the opposite.
Why?
That lie detector business has my head spinning.
Me too, but I can’t help but think the lie detector thing is totally, solely a rhetorical blibbity-blopp, and never something that will come to pass.
Karl’s question: “Is she making it up? blah blah blah” as if Cain even knows what “it” was? Seems to me he may well not know to this day.
so the emerging pattern is that Herman preyed on ugly white womens cause of their low self-esteem made them easy targets?
This is not a pattern I really recognize as being one you’re apt to actually find in reality.
Why? I would assume someone that has been married for 30 years would understand women more than I.
And even I know the best way to seduce the unwary woman next to me probably doesn’t involve suddenly thrusting my arm up her dress and pushing her head into my crotch.
got a sex drive it’s push to start
puspushpush to start
oh. there’s an h missing but there’s not a whole lot to be done for it at this point that I can see
Especially in a car, with the upgraded room at the Hilton waiting…
But, why are all these complaints from that time period?
Because it’s just far enough back as to make disproving them impossible.
Well that was a straight-out absolute denial that he even knew who she was. What about TEACon?
Wow, I thought that was superb. I mean, this man seems to understand what is going on in nearly every direction, both with respect to himself and with respect to the country. He grasps politics better than anyone I’ve seen in years.
Time for the press to flyspeck it to death.
none of this is gonna bring Heavy D back
The way I’m looking at it, A b-level master of the universe sort who really hasn’t spent a minute’s time as a single man since the advent of the sexual revolution would suddenly be confronted by an alien universe in trying to score him some quickies. It really doesn’t advance the notion that any of this is probable, but I’m just thinking out loud here.
That’s a joke, right?
That had me thinking too. And then I immediately got to thinking that he’s probably met 30000+ people in the last 10 months. And probably 2% of those had something really imporatant they needed to tell him. Which leaves like 600 people and given that she’s not what you’d call hawt…well, she’s not real memorable, is what I’m saying.
Politicians.
They don’t “score quickies” if they have any brains at all – but trust me, there are plenty of gorgeous, clean and discreet hookers in DC. They’re not hard to find.
no I for reals don’t know wealthy successful people what are serial bangers of ugly white chicks
everyone has the one-off
but over and over on purpose?
it’s just not the same as living the dream
What about TeaCon?
Seriously? I’m gonna query the Santy Claus in your town and damn him for not being able to pick out your kids in a line up. Personal touch and all that, ya know? Ours has a prompter that tells him who the kids are before they sit down so he can address them by name, so I’m gonna hold yours to that same standard.
How many pics has he had taken with people at fundraising and other events? Too many to count… and how many of those have some personal comment to make… again too many to count. Hell, if he’d been on a NRO cruise, I’m sure there are pics floating around of him there, too. Let’s see em all. I wonder if it’s true and he hangs out of his bathing suit. Maybe that answers a lot.
That. Also, for him to grab her coochie and simultaneously try to jam her head into his crotch seems both physically unlikely and a really non-smooth move. Unless it was the snatch grab first, but if that doesn’t work, do you then go for the head in the crotch thrust and then take no for an answer? It doesn’t make sense.
I’ve got to wonder if this isn’t a classic “pig fucker”: “A famous story that he [Hunter Thompson] recalled has former President Lyndon Johnson, running for Govenor of Texas, telling his campaign manager to call his opponent a pig fucker. When the campaign manager complained, saying that he wasn’t one, Lyndon’s reply was, “Yeah, I know—but make him deny it.” *
Well, now we know what Spitzer did wrong. What was Vittner’s excuse?
Okay, this is weird. Local radio guy, Mark Belling (hosts for Rush once in a while), was talking about this and he basically brought up what I said at #10, then answered it with what McG said at #12, and then brought up Cain’s possible awkwardness (#18-20).
I’d honestly be willing to bet he or his producer just glanced at this thread.
So, uhh, hi, Mark or Paul. Give pw a shout out next time.
new Cain post up..
You never heard of William. Jefferson. Blythe. Clinton?
He wasn’t so wealthy back in the day, but he was quite successful. Both politically and in scoring with ugly white chicks. Of course having the Arkansas State Police procuring for him probably helped.
my friend D says he thinks some guys are maybe just not all that picky
I banged my last ugly chick sophomore year in college. She was also my first ugly chick. I learned this lesson about not banging ugly chicks when there was more money between sofa cushions in Herman Cain’s living room than there was in my bank account.
I could be wrong about this, Ernst, but Clinton seems to display the characteristics of a sex addict. I know one of them, and worse, I know his adorable and oblivious wife.
FTR, my response was that it being D.C. was why the restaurant association blondies were
throwing their panties at Hermanwishing Herman would sexually harass them.I think you can be a sex addict and predatory about the manner in which you go about “chasing the dragon” so to speak. Clinton always struck me as a “Hey, lemme let y’all in a lil secret: fat chicks are easy. And ugly chicks? Ain’t nuthin’ they won’ do for you if’n you giv’em a lil’ attenshun” [said in a perfect Clinton immitation, of course]
You have my sympathies on your rock and hard place dilemna. Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss, though.
Karen Krashaar: You know, Mr. Cain, you’re about the same height as my horse (makes a non-sexual gesture with her hand above her head).
