Herman Cain Seeing All Red Over Another Accuser Hiring Gloria Allred
We live in a country where a president was impeached over charges relating to a sex scandal. Why do we care so much about whether a presidential candidate once sexually harassed a coworker? Probably because that candidate allegedly tried to make a former coworker give him a blow job....
We live in a country where a former president was impeached over charges relating to a sex scandal that occurred while he was still in office. People remember him as one of the “greatest United States presidents” of all time. That being the case, why do we care so much about whether a presidential candidate once sexually harassed a coworker more than ten years ago?
Probably because that presidential candidate allegedly tried to make a former coworker give him a blow job….

UPDATE (2:16 PM): During a press conference today, a fourth Herman Cain accuser stepped forward, and this woman, Sharon Bialek, a hot, middle-aged housewife, alleges that Cain attempted to force her to give him a blow job. Bialek is being represented by Gloria Allred. Allred noted that Cain allegedly wanted to provide her client with “his idea of a stimulus package.”
During the conference, Bialek spoke about her experience with Cain more than ten years ago.
Bialek claims that she met with Cain in mid-July of 1997 to speak with him about getting her job back at the National Restaurant Association. A month before hand, the NRA had let her go. Her boyfriend arranged a hotel room for her, but when she entered the room, she was surprised to find a “palatial suite.”
Bialek met Cain at the hotel bar and had drinks with him. At that time, he asked Bialek how she liked her room, and she expressed surprise at the accommodations. She claims that Cain smirked — à la his creepy new YouTube campaign video — and commented, “I upgraded you.”

UPDATE (2:25 PM): Later that evening, Bialek and Cain went to dinner at an Italian restaurant. Cain reportedly asked, “Why are you here?” Bialek replied that her boyfriend had suggested that she meet with him in the hopes that he could help her get her job back. Cain allegedly told Bialek that he would “look into that,” but first, he wanted to show her where the National Restaurant Association offices were located.
Bialek states that she joined Cain in his car, and he drove down the block from the offices. She thought that they would go inside, but Cain allegedly had other ideas. Bialek states that she was wearing a black pleated skirt, a suit jacket, and a blouse. (This doesn’t sound like such a sexy outfit, but different strokes for different folks.)
Bialek claims that it was at this point that Cain allegedly “reached over, put his hand on [her] leg, under [her] skirt, and reached for [her] genitals.” Cain then allegedly “grabbed [Bialek’s] head and brought it toward his crotch.” Bialek claims that she was shocked and surprised, and told Cain that that “wasn’t what [she] had come there for.”
Bialek claims that Cain then asked her, “You want a job, right?”
UPDATE (2:31 PM): Allred certainly didn’t speak highly of Cain, commenting that she was disgusted with his “serial sexual harassment of women,” and claiming that the presidential candidate has been “actively lying to Americans, showing disdain for our common sense and intellect.”

Is it “time to hold politicians to a higher standard,” as Allred has suggested? It certainly sounds like it. We thought that funny Cain campaign picture (shown above) was just an internet meme. Now we’re not so sure.
