It was bound to happen sooner or later. Herman Cain has been a juggernaut for the past few weeks rising in the polls to the consternation of establishment GOPers that want to knock him out of the race because he’s a real conservative.
The Blaze
An exclusive POLITICO report published Sunday night alleges that at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about multiple instances of inappropriate behavior exhibited by Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain during his tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.
Sources told POLITICO that the women complained that Cain had exhibited sexually suggestive behavior towards them, and that they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts in the five-figure range to leave the association. The payouts were reportedly made on the agreement that the women would not speak about their departures.

Haven’t we been here before?
I thought what happened with President Bill Clinton’s numerous sexual escapades prior (Jenifer Flowers) and during (Monica Lewinsky) his time in the White House has taken the “Bimbo” factor permanently off the table for succeeding presidents. However, when it comes to Republicans candidates it’s always a double standard.
I don’t know if these allegations are true. But, whether they’re true or false, in 2011 with President Obama having been elected president even thought he admitted to snorting cocaine in the past, does it make a heck of difference anymore?
