I don’t see what you have to conclude that from.
But we can agree on the egregious double standard in the media in the difference between how they cover Democrat and Republican candidates.
Perhaps we can agree that Cain and his team are handling it terribly, especially with the on-the-record finger pointing at Perry’s camp and now at Rahm Emanuel too.
The best thing might be if the media could be shamed into more balanced coverage re: Obama and his scandal-ridden background.
The $35,000 "settlement".
Every lawyer and HR manager who has commented on the case -- and I've heard over a dozen -- have stated that $35,000 is the standard for a "nuisance" settlement.
Reason being that the insurance companies have identified that the minimum cost for opening a court case on sexual harassment charges is...$35,000. This has apparently been the standard for the last twenty years.
Thus, a settlement of $35,000 represents the employer's minimum cost in a "nuisance" settlement. The plaintiff will end up clearing about $17-18,000 after legal fees (30-40%) and paying her 50% share of the investigative costs (dualing depositions, etc.).
