Dirty Money

POLITICAL RULES: There are no rules in politics ...

Activist lawyer Lisa Bloom, daughter of that professional perv pursuer Gloria Allred, took it upon herself last fall to corral a bevy Donald Trump's sexual impropriety accusers ,,, to try to sway last year's election. And she did rope in a number of apparently reluctant accusers. However, in order to overcome their shyness, she offered some soiled money incentive ...  collected from wealthy liberals anxious to see Hillary win. These women  accusers were given or offered anywhere from $30,000 to $750,000 to relate their emotive sexual encounters to the national media in hopes of submarineing Trump's chances ... see: The Hill Story to understand how this sliminess worked back then. (Three of these accusers have reemerged recently to try to Harvey-Weinstein Trump. I wonder if they are getting a second round of financing?)

This pelf was so dirty one could barely read its numbers ...

Candy Cain

What is my take on Herman Cain?  I'm really still up in the air.  I thought he was quite forthright in his press conference yesterday.  Whereas I was turned off by the fact that Gloria Allred's upcoming vacation in Bali (Sharon Bialek) had to read her own press-conference sleazy accusations of sexual misfeasance against Cain.  I don't want to get caught in the weeds of this possible scandal ... nor do I want to gnash my teeth over the double standard that seems to permeate such stories.  But I do want to complement Herman Cain, guilty or not, on his aplomb in the face of a possible career-ending press-lynching (to use a shibboleth).  His body language was confident.  He read very little of his apparently-prepared statement.  His voice didn't quaver.  He didn't use his wife as a prop.  And he easily answered all the questions poised.

I'm not endorsing Herman Cain for President here, but I do hope that he makes it through this media gauntlet without too many bruises.
