“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun”

If Cain is the knife that threatens Obama, the DNC brought out a machine gun.

suek, you're correct it's NOT David Axelrod who is her attorney, it's THE David Axelrod that is her neighbor. Martha MacCallum, FOX News: "One of the things is that you lived at a 505 North Lake Shore Drive apartment, right? This is the same building, it happens to be the same building David Axelrod lives in. Do you know David Axelrod? Ever have any interaction with him at all? Sharon Bialek, Cain accuser: "I saw him in the gym. I mean -- everybody nods to each other. It is friendly building but I never had any interaction with him." http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2011/11/coinkadink-one-cain-accuser-lives-in.html

It’s an interesting juxtaposition with your next post, isn’t it. I assume that was purposeful.

I don’t actually care much. As a heterosexual male who has a life-long history of having approached members of the other sex myself, it’s not a major issue for me. (See, that’s how it happens. As males we’re sort of expected to hit on, talk to, pursue, approach, comment on, or otherwise begin the process. They don’t much come up to us and say: “here I yam…!” [quoting George Hamilton as Zorro]. It would be okay if they did, and negotiations between the sexes worked so simply and straightforwardly – but as a rule they didn’t, in the years when I was an active participant.)

So I get it. I understand the man. I tended to perhaps be less crude – if any of what the blowsy blonde says can be trusted, though I suspect that the way to her heart probably involves some level of crudity – and hopefully a touch more erudite, but the message was the same. It is the male job. It’s what we do. We hopefully don’t outright attack, hopefully keep a grip on the crudity – but if it may be said that there is in most relationships a pursuer and a pursued- is there much doubt who’s usually which? I mean, only since the beginning of time.

I don’t think Herman Cain ought to be president either – though Obama has forever lowered the bar on what we might regard as ‘qualifications’ for the job – but this hardly qualifies as a reason why. (No, for me it’s the ignorance of the outside world. Having a map with large blank spaces where it says: “here be dragons” isn’t good enough any more. That’s too much like what we currently have.) I don’t care about his approach to his extra-marital sex life – or if he has one. Christ, they all did. The last words on Eisenhower’s lips as he lay on his death-bed, staring his god in the face were a damn lie: “I have always loved my wife.” Yeah. Tell it to Kay Summersby. Tell it to Marshall, who was trying to win a goddam war and told you he’d throw your ass in the brig for the rest of your life if you tried to divorce Mamie in the middle of that job when you told him you were going to. (Though in extremis, isn’t it interesting that that’s what was on his mind? He passed out of this life already framing his defense in the next one. Now, there’s a guilty conscience, if you’d like to see a sample!)

They all did: FDR, Eisenhower, Kennedy of course was a joke, LBJ – I bet Nixon was actually faithful to Pat. Ford and Carter wouldn’t have had the imagination, Reagan and Bush Sr. were probably gentlemen who meant it when they swore to be good, and then comes Clinton. Bush I suspect of closet honor-ability. But the point is, none of it brought down the Republic. In the grand scheme of things, it isn’t much a deal.

And here is more…..illustrating why I refuse to be buffaloed into throwing Herman under the bus:

I'd like to know more about her boyfriend. He might be a really good guy (supporting her and her 13 year old son from another relationship, even though he never married her) or, in the strange world of Chicago politics, he might be a player.

Well said, Earl, in #9! I like your phrase: “I’m keeping my powder dry.”

On this latest, I will have to see proof of the hotel upgrade that Cain supposedly caused. The financial transaction record of the upgrade WILL exist. If she or her boyfriend made the reservation, it should have been impossible for him to do this. Something is odd there.

And Sharon B. was seen hugging Cain at a recent Tea Party event. That is not the behavior of a woman who has spent years believing he made a grotesque and objectionable sexual pass at her (groping/pawing and quid-pro-quo proposition). And Gloria Allred gets away with saying he wanted to show her his “stimulus package”?

I may actually have to wait more than another week for enough information to come out for me to decide. In the meantime, I wonder how many other Cain supporters will stick with him or reserve judgment; how many will wash their hands of him?

Sounds like they pulled the article. Maybe a way-back link would pull it up??? Not sure how to do that…
