This is Going to be Awful

For the women, of course.Not Cain:

During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.

The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.

In a series of comments over the past 10 days, Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly about whether he ever faced allegations of sexual harassment at the restaurant association. They have also declined to address questions about specific reporting confirming that there were financial settlements in two cases in which women leveled complaints.

I feel like we’re going to need a bingo card for all the pseudo-psych, misogynist crap that’s about to come down the pipe. Let’s see, we’ll have “money-grubbing whores” and “they were asking for it” and “why do powerful men cheat?” and probably some “trying to destroy the black candidate” thing about white liberal guilt. I know I’m missing something. What else?
