sounds like Cain hasn't even seen it as he recused himself, wasn't part of the investigation and was not a signatory on any confidentiality agreement, he claims that if all comes out he will be clear and let's hope it comes out soon although some seem to really enjoy the inuendo and speculation...

maybe it's time for a teary 60 Minutes interview where he says he's caused some pain but will never ever, ever, ever do it again if we elect him...wait...we don't even know if or what he did or who he did or didn't do it to.....these little details are so bothersome


Networks Hit Cain Story 50 Times in Less Than Four Days; Ignored Clinton Scandals By: Scott Whitlock Thursday, November 03, 2011 12:25 PM EDT


Over a period of just three and a half days, NBC, CBS and ABC have developed an insatiable hunger for the Herman Cain sexual harassment story, devoting an incredible 50 stories to the allegations since Monday morning. In contrast, over a similar period these networks mostly ignored far more substantial and serious scandals relating to Bill Clinton.

This pattern continued on Wednesday night and into Thursday as the evening newscasts and morning shows highlighted the story 19 times. On Good Morning America, Brian Ross offered innuendo and slung gossip, recounting, "But behind the scenes, several of the campaigns are still urging reporters to continue to dig, George, saying, there's more to be found in the private life of Herman Cain." [MP3 audio here.]

In comparison, over a similar three-day period these same programs were far less interested in charges against Democrat Bill Clinton. After Paula Jones held a public press conference in February of 1994, there was only one report on her allegations.

Following Kathleen Willey's July 1997 claims of being groped by the President, there were a mere three reports. For Juanita Broaddrick, who came forward in February 1999 to say Clinton raped her, only three stories followed charges appearing in the Wall Street Journal.

It should also be pointed out that all these women offered their names. They weren't anonymous. Additionally, the accusations of assault and rape go far beyond what's being mentioned with the Cain scandal.
