I cringe whenever I see Gloria Allred.\u00a0 She is a disgusting ambulance chaser who never misses an opportunity to pontificate in front of a microphone.\u00a0 She is shameless in her rush to exploit any potential opportunity.\u00a0 She literally makes my skin crawl.<\/p>\n

\u00a0However, I ran a nationwide claim department for many years and one lesson I quickly learned is that the truth is not dependent on whether or not you like someone.\u00a0 I have had people I liked and admired tell me things that turned out to be incorrect.\u00a0 In some cases they even believed what they said, but the facts proved them wrong.\u00a0 I have also had total scumbags who I wouldn\u2019t trust with a spare nickel tell the truth.\u00a0 I learned to look at the facts and evaluate them on their own merit, without regard to my personal opinion about the person, or persons, involved.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I have not personally investigated any of this, but it is clear that Cain has a huge problem.\u00a0 His response has been pathetic with more time angrily dismissing this as a witch hunt with less than satisfactory answers to very specific questions.\u00a0 There is an old saying among lawyers\u2026When you have the facts, pound the facts.\u00a0 When you don\u2019t have the facts, pound the opponent.\u00a0 When you don\u2019t have the facts, and you can\u2019t pound the opponent, just pound.<\/em>\u00a0 Cain has presented very few facts, but has done a whole lot of pounding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Ironically, this could have all gone away if he had just given a vague apology and pledged better behavior in the future.\u00a0 But instead, he is trying to prove that all these women are liars.\u00a0 They have morphed from being angry and embarrassed at what happened to furious.\u00a0 How would you respond if the person whom you believe sexually harassed you was now calling you a liar?\u00a0 If the sexual harassment was real, I can\u2019t imagine anything that would make them angrier.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I watched Anderson Cooper tonight, and I was taken aback at how well he handled this story.\u00a0 He let Herman Cain tell his side of the story, without commentary other than to say it was an explicit denial.\u00a0 But then the story took a deadly turn when Gloria Borgia, who is personal friends with one of the women, contacted her by phone and was given some additional information.\u00a0 Gloria obviously has known this woman for several years and is a close friend.\u00a0 She admitted that right from the start.\u00a0 Ultimately, it made her reporting much more credible.\u00a0 To summarize she said that the accuser told her that the charges against Cain were serious and consistent and that she definitely received a cash settlement in exchange for the harassment.\u00a0 Unless I am very wrong, this woman is going to ooze credibility.\u00a0 In addition, she apparently kept copies of her written complaint about Cain and has this well documented.\u00a0 To cap it off, she is also a professional spokesperson.\u00a0 She is now talking about having a joint press conference with the other accusers.\u00a0 I fear that this will be devastating for Cain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I wish that I could just dismiss this as a smear campaign based on nonsense.\u00a0 Unfortunately, what facts we know are far from helpful for Herman Cain.\u00a0 So far, it is Herman Cain who has demonized people with little facts to support the accusations.\u00a0 So far, it is Herman Cain who has had to change his story.\u00a0 And, so far, it is Herman Cain who has given a version of events that is impossible to listen to with a straight face.\u00a0 When Herman Cain says the only issue is that he pointed out that this woman was the same height as his wife and this resulted in a sexual harassment charge he has less credibility that Obama trying to say William Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood.\u00a0 Following is the LA Times<\/em> article about the proposed news conference:<\/p>\n

\u00a0http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/news\/politics\/la-pn-cains-accusers-20111108,0,7925369.story<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Sean Hannity spent most of his show last night trying to pass this off as a vast liberal left conspiracy.\u00a0 It was a major mistake.\u00a0 It has about the same amount of credibility as when Hillary Clinton tried to dismiss the Monica Lewinsky scandal as a vast right wing conspiracy.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t work when Hillary tried it, and it won\u2019t work when Hannity tries it.\u00a0 Because of the poor handling by the Cain staff, this has turned from a he-said-she-said case, with vague accusations from anonymous accusers, to a he-said-she-said-she said- she said-she-said-and-he-witnessed story.\u00a0 I don\u2019t predict a good result.<\/p>\n
