Really. The Enquirer? The Enquirer is the only paper I ever saw that would run a headline when something they reported was proven to be true because THAT was an unusual story.
And, since you asked, it's "hypocrite"
In all seriousness, it's getting play because they smell blood in the water. In the same day, Cain went from "I don't recall" to "there was no settlement" to "oh, there was an AGREEMENT but not a settlement".
If he'd said "Yes, there was some misunderstandings 15 years ago", only the far left little yipping dog-types would have kept up.
Remember some of the reaction to Clinton? It wasn't the sex - it was the LYING. Someone once came out with what Clinton's speech SHOULD have been.. I don't remember it all but it started out with "Yes, I banged her like a cheap gong".
Look *anywhere* and you'll find that Americans, by and large, are a forgiving people, provided you are sincere. Heck, even in sports - it's why Any Pettite got a free pass on steroids (he admitted it) while Alex Rodriguez and barry Bonds do not.
