Oh yeah, well whatever the true case is ole Herman should have enough street smarts to stay away from ladies like this. Of course, at the time he might not have known he was going to be tapped for Prez....methinks he likes the ladies....

I definitely feel better about that than if he liked young boys.
The problem isn't whether he likes the ladies, the problem is that someone, can just throw out a accusation about sexual harassment, and if it's a conservative or Republican, right away the press and certain people go into a feeding frenzy. Even some of the press is starting to see through this.
The real Herman Cain scandal

The real scandal in the accusations against Herman Cain is the corruption of the law.
Some people may think the fact that the National Restaurant Association reportedly paid $45,000 to settle a claim made by one of its employees against Cain is incriminating.
The figure $45,000 struck a chord with me because, some years ago, my wife (who is an attorney) was fervently congratulated when her client had to pay “only” $45,000 in a jury award when the plaintiff was demanding a million dollars, in as frivolous a lawsuit as you could find.
The person who was suing was a drunk driver, whose car went out of control and slammed into a tree. After the sheriff’s deputies arrested her, she sued them on dubious charges, and the sheriff’s department was glad it had to pay “only” $45,000.
The department was painfully aware of the uncertainty about what ruinous costs a jury might impose on the deputies.
The real scandal is that the law allows people to impose heavy costs on others at little or no cost to themselves. That is a perfect setting for legalized extortion.
The fact that neither judges nor juries always stick to the letter of the law means that people who have zero basis for a lawsuit, under the law as written, can still create enough uncertainty to extract money from people who cannot afford the risk of going to trial.
As for a $45,000 settlement, that is what an organization would pay to settle a nuisance lawsuit -- if it is lucky.
If we had a legal system where judges threw frivolous cases out of court, instead of letting them go to trial, that would put a damper on legalized extortion.
