FROM 9-9-9 TO NEIN, NEIN, NEIN

Editorial / The Schalotte / December 5, 2011

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain went from telling us about ‘9-9-9’, his oversimplified solution to our economic woes, to telling us and his wife Gloria, ‘Nein, Nein, Nein’ when responding to allegations of sexual harassment and a longtime affair.

Was Cain telling the truth when he called his accusers liars for claiming that he sexually harassed them? He could be telling the truth here because sexual harassment is sometimes seen in the eye of the beholder. The publisher of The Schalotte was once accused of sexual harassment for having a Rigid tools girlie calendar hanging on the wall of his office.

Was he telling the truth when he denied business woman Ginger White’s allegation that she had a 13-year-long affair with Cain? In this case, The Schalotte believes Herman is a liar!

White has publicly stated that her relationship with Cain “wasn’t a love affair, it was a sexual affair.” Cain denies having had a sexual affair with White while admitting that he knew her, but only as a friend.

But here is why the Schalotte believes he is lying. Cain also admitted that he gave White money from time to time to help his financially troubled ‘friend.’ Come on now, does anyone in their right mind really believe that Herman gave his friend money purely out of the kindness of his heart, and that was all there was to it? Not likely.

Maybe, and that’s a big maybe, he was able to persuade his wife that was all there was to it. But the American people should be offended that Herman would think they were so stupid as to believe he gave some woman money off and on for 13 years without obtaining sexual favors in return. Even an Orangutan wouldn’t believe that.
