Sharon Bialek, the Cain accuser, did not describe sexual harrassment.

She described sexual assault. Let's call it what it is.

Also, what does everyone think about Gloria Allred making the joke? "Instead of receiving help from Mr. Cain, he decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package." I mean, other than it being an easy joke.

1. Agree. Allred was stupid to joke abot it. nt

3. Yep. If for no other reason than it will give SOME people an opening to

dismiss the accusations.

"Her lawyer was joking about it!!!1!" or something to that effect.

2. I think Allred described it perfectly. Cain needs to be in jail, and spend

the rest of his days as a registered sex offender.

4. Depends on the statute of limitations.

But this should sink his campaign, at least.

5. That wasn't a joke--that was a sound bite. Allred was making sure that this conference

has a snippet on the nightly news.

She's not stupid. She's made a nice living doing this sort of "niche" legal work, and she's damn good at it. It's why she gets the clients, over and over again. She knows the territory better than anyone else, and her clients know it.
