"Oh, look, she's reading from a statement about something that happened TO HER. Can't keep her story straight, huh?" And that's from a woman.<br /><br />I don't recall any of my liberal friends casting doubt on Anthony Weiner's accusers, or, back in the day, Bill Clinton's. And maybe it's because Clinton and Weiner are pretty much just your garden variety leches who abuse their power and what Cain did crossed the line into sexual assault, but still. What IS it about Cain that has people rushing to his defense like this? Why won't conservatives at least engage in conversation about it?Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508302421134951238noreply@blogger.com
