What kind of parent (other than one who'll do ANYTHING for money) tells her 13-year-old son the gory details of her h*rny stories, and then tells the whole world by broadcast media that this is how she's raising her son, and takes his advice on this mess she is feeding???

But then, maybe he already knew when he saw the pole installed in the rec room at home.

"(CNN) -- The only woman so far to come forward and publicly accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment did so in part with her 13-year-old son's encouragement, she said Tuesday on CNN.

"He said, 'Mom, I think you need to do the right thing. I think you need to tell on him," Sharon Bialek said on CNN's "American Morning." "That confirmed it for me. If my son is saying it, I want to be the role model for him and other kids growing up."

It will be interesting to hear how the Cain campaign committee will respond. It is unfortunate that Cain did not step up before he decided to run and get this all behind him. You don't want it to be true but past experiences with denials from politcians haven't exactly reinforced voter confidence. I am keeping an open mind and trying to stay focus on what candidate best offers the skill sets needed to execute the duties of this office successfully

I realize her claims could be true, but it smells of lying and money grubbing when Gloria Allred (who does not work for free) is retained (with whose money?).

As for your statement, "It is unfortunate that Cain did not step up before he decided to run and get this all behind him", if it did not HAPPEN, how could he have "stepped up" and "gotten this all behind him" before he decided to run??

When professional liars are involved, who could possibly know what particular fabricated scenario they're going to come up with before he even runs?

Like I said, the accusations could very well be true. However, the length of time lapsed and the fact that no charges were filed makes the timing of all this very suspicious.

How about this little story of Ms. "fourth accuser" meeting with and hugging Herman Cain at a Tea Party event a month ago. Curiouser and curiouser.

and her lawyer is representing her for FREE...doesn't take a rocket scientist to smell the rat(s) on this one....politicians and lawyers are only superceded in in dirty tricks and lies by lawyers who are politicians!!!!

This Cain BS is in the category with Bill Clinton's classics:

I smoked pot but I did not inhale!!

and

I did not have sex with that woman.

ilovetv: As to my lament about Cain stepping up before he decided to run does not apply to Allred's client but rather the two alleged sexual harassement settlements made 15 years ago. We don't know if the allegations are true but it is on record that two sexual harassement cases were settled. Ergo my comment about dealing with this issue before he ran. If any politicians thinks he is going to get a free pass in this "gotcha" society today they migt be wise to rethink it. the media is loaded with mud rackers who have long ago abandoned journalistic ethics.

Ike got a pass with is extramartial affair because journalists understood the bigger story war hero.......not anymore

If these accusations are true would it make Cain any less a good president? I don't think you'll find anyone without a blemish in their record. It's just some haven't been discovered yet. Back then when this was suppose to happen there wasn't any such term as sexual harassment, it was just coming on strong to the opposite sex. These Republican candidates are at a disadvantage because their records all through their lives can be checked. Try doing that with Obama.

Ain't THAT the truth!

I still think it says a lot about the Cain accuser, Bialek's character (or lack of it) when she broadcasts that she told her 13 year old son what allegedly went on with the groping etc. My grown kids would be totally grossed out to hear their mother tell about a scenario like that. And they would also realize I had not been "victimized" by such alleged incident. They would be enormously embarrassed to have such attention drawn to us. It's sleezy, period.

People who say they haven't been paid for their stories often get other forms of compensation. It's very disingenuous.

The media may fly them into L.A. or N.Y., put them up in 5 star hotels with all the trimmings, get them a "book deal" with a sizable advance, etc, etc.

But, they're not being paid for their story? B.S.

just amazing what I am reading on this thread. I am at a loss for words.

I know exactly what you mean. There is so much truth here it is unbelievable.

New report breaking the wire that a son of the Herman Cain accuser works for the left wing website Politico that "broke" this story and has published almost 100 stories about it.

It's getting curiouser and curiouser.

Even Jon Stewart has questioned the retainment of THAT lawyer and where they picked to have their little press conference (the Friar's Club).

Ahh come on folks, everyone know that teenagers know everything, just ask one, they will tell you that is a fact.
