Gloria Allred, the lawyer retained by Cain accuser Sharon Bialek, slammed presidential candidate Herman Cain for retaining attorney Lin Wood to help him defend against the sexual harassment accusations that have been launched against him. Wood is considered a top notch expert in defamation of character cases and gained great notoriety for his efforts in clearing the name of Richard Jewel, the man who was falsely accused of bombing the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.
If hes innocent why does he need a lawyer? Allred demanded to know. Truth is the defense of the innocent. Only the guilty need an attorney to make their case. I think people will find this latest twist highly suspicious.
To delve into this suspicious behavior, Allred suggested that Congress subpoena Cain to testify before a House or Senate Committee. Not only is the nation at risk of putting a sexual predator into the office of president, but it has become clear that substantial reforms need to be enacted, Allred insisted.
Among Allreds proffered reforms would be provisions aimed at protecting women from having to expose themselves to potential retaliation for leveling harassment accusations. A woman should be allowed to remain anonymous throughout the whole process, Allred argued. Being identified as an accuser can wreck a womans future employment opportunities. Any needed communications can go through her lawyer.
A further measure to reduce potential retaliation would be to require the accused to step down until he can prove that no woman has ever felt intimidated by his actions in the workplace, Allred said. Or he could post a substantial bond that would be forfeited if any additional accusations were made prior to the full settlement of ones that have already been levied.
In related news, NBC talking head David Gregory rued the lack of a Grand Wizard in the Republican Party who could order Cain to step down. Democrats dont have this kind of shortcoming, Gregory maintained. I mean, after Ted Kennedy killed that girl he was forced to put his presidential ambitions on hold for 10 years. That was real leadership, not the anarchy were seeing from the Republicans in this current flap.

ROFLMAO!!!
As President, he would be her boss....and yeh...that would be sexual harrassment.
And then there's the fact that he said it wasn't nice. Maybe offer her $45,000.
BTTT!
That’s why people like Sharon hire her!
So was your sense of humor surgically removed or were just born with that handicap?
I could almost see Gregory saying that...classic!
Semi-news in deed. I am learning to read the small print on these posts.
We had some inmates who carved a little peephole in a door which let them look into an area were women staff were showering. A smart Sgt. set them up and caught them.
One of the employees contacted Allred and she wrote a letter to our director demanding an explanation.
I was assigned to look int it and penned the response. My secretary reviewed it, the chief counsel reviewed it and the director signed it. We mailed it to Allred’s office.
Right after we mailed it, the counsel, was looking at his copy and noticed I had misspelled Allred as AlFred. He laughed and said it was probably a $100,000 mistake.
Fortunately she accepted our actions and we never heard from her again.
Best wishes.
Ha!
Please tell me you were being sarcastic - and that you were parodying the idiot Carl Quintenilla of CNBC.
PLEEZE
LoL. That’s rich coming from the ambulance chaser.
Too late.
The President is not the boss of anyone in Congress.
Hopefully, the phrase "Separation of Powers" rings a bell.
Mr. Cain’s attorney must have really shaken up the Allred camp. He is a “defamation of character” attorney, not a criminal defense attorney. Regarding he must be guilty because he hired an attorney, what does she think her client did? Or is she admitting that someone else hired her?
LOL! You sure are a Saca something....
Oh, give me a break.
Cain has called Pelosi ‘Princess Nancy” and Reid “Prince Harry” on his radio show for years.
“Princess Pelosi”...
I loved it
I thought a PR person was pointing to guilt.
