No good deed goes unpunished.

Rut roh.

[wolfcreek]

Is he saying these were sins of the mind?

[Williams]

As to her motivation, that is an enormous duh. It offends me these people give interviews to do somebody else in, yet claim some ridiculous motive. And of course the “journalist” doesn’t bring up that the reason makes no sense.

[GlockThe Vote]

And Cain did not realize this was going to come out? What a joke. Donezo.

[Truth29]

Didn’t tell his wife. This gets worse and worse for the campaign.

[Responsibility2nd]

Cain said that in retrospect he should have told his wife about his friendship with White, "but retrospect doesn't necessarily change what's going on now."

He also said his wife "did not know we were friends until she (White) came out with this story."


Busted. I don't care how "innocent" the situation is. If your wife ain't in the loop on something like this....

Hey, where’s the crime here? :-)

[sodpoodle]

Glad it wasn’t tax payers’ money or campaign contributions.

I believe him; although he was naive - especially being so generous to a cretin like Ginger Bread. Over a period of 13-14 years he should have had her figured out as a parasite.

[Snickering Hound]

There's alot of things we're not going to tell Mrs. Howell about...

[Politics4US]

If his wife didn’t know about it, then I think that is bad. He’s running for president and doing this?

[jessduntno]

Herman Cain acknowledged Thursday that he repeatedly gave Ginger White money to help her with “month-to-month bills and expenses” without telling his wife. In fact, the embattled presidential candidate said, his wife, Gloria, “did not know that we were friends until she (White) came out with this story.”

Wasn’t the REAL tip off that Gloria wasn’t out in front of a bank of microphones in two minutes telling the world this woman was full of crap? that Herm knew her for years?

[who knows what evil?]

"In his most candid interview since the latest allegations emerged..."

Get over yourselves, Union Leader...do you believe your own hype?

[PetroniusMaximus]

Very, very foolish on his part.

This will sink him. (Actually, he’s already sunk.)

[Tennessee Nana]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

In Its a Wonderful Life the Conservative hero George Bailey gave a girl sho was down on her luck and “out of work and had trouble paying her bills” and helped her leave town for a fresh start elsewhere..

and he was considered a nice guy for doing that...

But that was the 40s..

and George wasnt running for office...

[wolfman23601]

I no longer believe him... at least in this case. You don’t hide the friendship + financial assistance from your wife unless there is more to it.

[Gator113]

But wait, this can’t be.

Heck, over the past 2 days, several of the Cain’s FR people have been insisting she knew... so all was well.

I am sooo confused.

[mockingbyrd]

That’s not OK. I don’t care what his intentions were, spouses are supposed to share this kind of information. It reflects badly upon Mr. Cain.

Doesn’t disqualify him from being president in my opinion, but it does reflect poorly on him.

[HereInTheHeartland]

At best he's a moron.
I was holding out hope for him; assuming he was a good hearted guy helping a down on their luck person. But of course his wife would be looped in in that scenario. A man doesn't hang with, and give money to a woman on a long term basis.

Any amount of common sense would know that would look bad; unless the mans wife was looped in.

[jagusafr]

Rule #1 in marriage: If you think your wife would get mad hearing it from somebody else, TELL HER YOURSELF. Happy Wife, Happy Life.

My thoughts are that Cain’s either 1)foolish, 2)lying, or 3)naive. None of these choices gives me warm fuzzies about voting for him.
