I said in my post above that I am disappointed this sort of crap has come up again.
Herman Cain is playing this episode in the dumbest way possible.
Feigning vague memory, ambiguous statements, weasel words,
and denials that sound a lot like "...what is is is."
Today he is providing minute details of what were vague memories only two days ago.

Face the questions, Mr. Cain
Quote:
'Nuff said. Herman Cain hopes, maybe even believes,
that he can dispatch troublesome questions about sexual harassment
allegations by refusing to answer them.
The Republican presidential candidate says the charges are "totally false"
and that's all anyone needs to know. Next question.
Sorry, Mr. Cain, but America isn't ready to go back to talking about your 9-9-9 tax plan.

Sexual harassment claims are unfortunately not rare.
It's not unusual for them to be resolved without any determination on the merits.
Financial settlements and confidentiality agreements are common.
But Herman Cain didn't sign a no-disclosure agreement —
remember, he didn't even know there was a settlement.
Cain is free to rebut the allegations. If he wants to stay in the race, he will.
The questions aren't going to go away. Answer them.

Personally, I don't care a whit about Cain's candidacy,
and have always doubted he would become the Republican nominee.
But, my belief is total that his "999 tax plan" is so flawed and unworkable,
that a full and complete discussion would put his sort of foolishness to rest once and for all.
As it is, if Cain is forced out of the race now, that discussion probably would not happen,
and we will hear of 999 again and again and ...
