...Maybe we were reading these sexual harassment allegations wrong. They don’t seem to have hurt Cain at all...

You can thank Bill "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton for that.

WaPo combines incoherent half-apology (mostly for the failure of the tried-and-true lynch-mob strategem) with attempt to shift the focus to the unnamed, probably fictional “Perry staffer”...

Now, that’s FUNNY!!!!!

The money quote, the rick perry staffer that traveled back into the past to feed these allegations. Mr Wilson, the perry pollster, said he was there he saw it, what a dirt bag.

...But it turns out people enjoy a salacious sideline to their daily barrage of 2012 news.

Maybe people really just think you're full of $hit?

I really think this has the bitter, defeated tone of somebody staring into the bottom of a glass in an empty bar at closing time.

That was a poorly constructed attempt at sarcasm regarding the Cain camp's speculations that the smear began with Perry.

There was only one perry person that said he was there and this story would end Cain.

Actually, with not too much work, this could be the script for one of those “Hitler” parodies.

Yeah I thought that was really low though I don’t really believe Perry helped release the allegations at all. I believe that given the information that was referred to in the original politico report it almost certainly came from inside the Restaurant Association. Politico referenced the allegations as if they had copies of the actual aggreement.
My suggestions from the beginning was to target the Restuarant Association because their are fairly strict laws concerning release of such employee related information.

Now we know that Cain did not even sign the aggrement where a settlement was reached. I think someone realized that this scandal was going to blow back hard if the details ever really came out. Now all of a sudden the lady doesn’t really want to reopen all this. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Restuarant Association didn’t offer some more payolla.

We were worried that ‘sexual harassment’ might be going too far,” someone murmurs in a bunker.

Hey! Have they made one of those "Hitler finds out about..." concerning the epic failure of the accusations against Cain yet?
