Cain accusers Bialek, Kraushaar planning joint news conference

[spanone]

Two women who allege they were sexually harassed by presidential hopeful Herman Cain have agreed to hold a joint news conference so they can air their stories together, the attorney for one of the women said.

Joel P. Bennett, who represents 55-year-old federal employee Karen Kraushaar, said he was planning the news conference with Gloria Allred, who represents Chicago homemaker Sharon Bialek, 50.

Details of the joint appearance have not been worked out. Kraushaar’s name became public on Tuesday, but she has not described her alleged harassment by Cain when she was working at the National Restaurant Association more than a decade ago. Bialek went public Monday, accusing Cain of groping her in a car after the two dined together in Washington in 1997. She was seeking job advice from Cain, who was head of the association at that time.

Cain forcefully denied the sexual harassment allegations at a news conference in Arizona on Tuesday.

1. Come on, Herm -- you've been through denial and anger.

Time to get on with bargaining and depression, so you can finally get to acceptance and leave the electorate (and vulnerable women) alone. ;-)

4. Hmm.

Maybe it's not my place to say but should women be characterized as 'vulnerable' because of sexual harrassment? It sounds like the women whom Cain is accused of harrassing stood up to him.

Just wonderin'.

8. Cain saw them as vulnerable.

They worked for him, wanted a job, etc.

13. It occurs to me that a woman seeking a job from a man in position to give her one might just be ...

considered "vulnerable" if said man was a serial sexual harasser, who trained his unwelcome attentions on her. Of course, that's me, and I don't spend my days roaming internet message boards desperately in search of something by which to be offended.

2. I'd bet a sausage pizza that...

...there will be at least one more victim who will come forward to offer testimony about Hermy's Republicon Family Values.

3. Buh-bye, Hermie.

You are one gone goose.

5. Cain offered to meet his accusers - "I want to poll these women and check their backgrounds"

"I want to poll them bad"

6. This

is just going to be a She said He said event I have yet to hear about any proof about the events. The Dem's will believe the women and Cains supporters will believe him, until someone can provide proof that would stand up in a court case we will not know what really happened.

7. Perception

and there sure are a lot of she's in the mix.

Walks like a duck---it's a fucking duck.

11. Doesn't matter if it's a duck.

If you are wearing glasses with squirrels painted over the lenses. Or shutting your eyes. Or looking the other way.

10. Most Sexual Assaulters/Harassers Don't Assault/Harass In Public

I actually hope he gets the nomination. He would be the easiest Republican to beat.

12. Karen Kraushaar's legal file and the two sworn affidavits supporting Bialek's testimony

are two pesky details Cain can't splain away with a, "He said, she said" defense position.
