First he was clueless, then he "Heard" something, then he was clueless again, then he remembers something about $35K and someone getting tereminated, it was not HIS department, then he DID hear something about sexual harrasment............Go shoot your speach writer!

Cool how he thinks that reporters are to be subjected to his will on demand. No one ever thought of that before. Hey, I'm smart too, smart enough to understand that I could never get through the vetting process of a Presidential Campaign. What did you think this was, Mr. Cain......an ice-cream social? Forgot to make that meeting on American Politics and the obstacles to running for president? By the way, as condescending as he has been in public, I'm not at all surprised to find settlements in his past. But he's not hiding anything, not his lack of intelligence or knowledge, nor his socially superior attitude, it's all hanging out in plain view.

Still, he's the best thing the Republicans are offering, hands down. Probably the ethically cleanest and least criminally culpable too (I'm ignoring Ron Paul and John Huntsman in this as the Republicans really don't seem to be offering them, they're more like party crashers). But I'm not surprised that the Party does not seem to recognize the problem, they've stood on the wrong side of History for personal gain for a long time and don't care as long as they've got what they want.
