“Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults - a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The public’s right to know and the media's right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door. “

Holy cow. Cain's attorney recently issued that statement? As an attorney (and for that, I apologize, but some of us make mistakes in our youth), that's what you say when the accusations are true. It's legalese for "Hey! Look over there!"

Before the Defend Cain No Matter The Allegation-ers jump on me, a former Cain supporter, I didn't say Cain did it. I said that the statement by Cain's attorney is what an attorney would say if the allegations were true.

Seems like the gun is smoking pretty heavily when I read that.

I agree with you Scoutmaster. As soon as I read that statement I thought the attorney was admitting the affair. If there was nothing, there would be no need to talk about private conduct between consenting adults, etc.
