The news headline today shouts that Joe Paterno, football coach at Penn State since the Civil War, and the University President - whose name no one knows - were fired for their sins of ommission. Even though the alleged perpetrator of the child abuse has not worked as Assistant Coach since 1999, these two have been found guilty because they did not call the police. Hmm. Makes you wonder what happened to the assumption of innocence. Has the perp been to court yet? How come the story is not about him?
Herman Cain is still denying that he ever acted inappropriately with anyone. If this is true then he probably deserves the nomination, since I would bet money that no one else who is running for political office can honestly make such a statement. Men in power are notorious for bad behavior. For for a man who spends a lot of time on the road, whose job allows him a lavish expense account, the opportunities for mischeif are too great to be avoided. It is difficult to believe that 4 (maybe more by the time you read this) women are making this stuff up. Cain's denials will sink him; American votors will forgive their leaders for being sexually innapropriate, but they wont tolerate lying about it.
Just ask John Edwards.

Not true. How about Bubba and his lying? He's come out smelling like a rose. Perhaps it's how you lie? Or why you lie? Or maybe even when you lie?
George, You are right about Clinton. He denied it before he admitted it. Perhaps the difference is that most of his "victims" were willing participants.
Including Anita Broderick's and Kathleen Willey's sexual assaults (aka, rapes) by Slick Willy? And others I'm sure ...? And let's not forget that, one week ago, Mark (Maxi) Shields said, on Jim Leher's PBS news program that Clinton "was smart enough to lie."
Aren't you convicting The former President him on "she said..." (ie unproven) allegations? I notice that you are eager to believe and pass on any unfounded rumor about liberal dems, so your credibility is suspect.
Yet, you are willing to give a proven serial satyr the benefit of the doubt! Have you no gray matter?
