Breaking: Well, would you look at that! Finger pointing! Deflection! The creator of the 9-9-9 Pizza Tax Plan and Free Soda With Every Tax Increase, has just named a Rick Perry Advisor as the leak behind his growing sexual harassment scandal.
And by growing we mean women are just crawling out of a lost treasure trunk from 1996 and telling their stories about a very horny man named Herman Cain.
The former Pizza Mogul claims Curt Anderson, who once worked on Cain’s bid for U.S. Senate in 2004, and is now currently an advisor to Rick Perry, is behind the surfacing of the sexual harassment allegations.
Cain says he briefed Anderson about the sexual harassment claims in 2003. Hey, Herman! Didn’t you say a couple days ago that you didn’t know anything about these claims? You know, that you couldn’t recall much about them! Yeah, ok, buddy. You better start getting your spin together! Oh, wait! That’s what this is.
HuffPost reports that Anderson says he has nothing to do with the recent barrage of information, and that he heard about it when Politico reported about it on Sunday.
“I have nothing but good things to say about Herman Cain,” he said. “I’m not going to bad-mouth Herman Cain to anyone, on or off the record. I think he is a guy of great leadership and integrity.”
As of today, three women have come forward and stated that Cain acted inappropriately, including making sexually suggestive remarks or gestures; the latest accuser recalls receiving an invitation to Cain’s corporate apartment after hours.
The AP reports that Cain appeared frazzled at times Wednesday and couldn’t escape the questions regarding the sexual harassment cases. For his part, cigarette czar and Cain Chief of Staff, Mark Block, told Fox News today that Perry’s campaign needs “to apologize” to the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Perry Spokesman Ray Sullivan denied Cain’s claim but said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s team probably used the Primary Colors playbook. He said, “I wouldn’t put it past them.”
The plot thickens! Good luck with that.
Well, Herman. It’s looking more and more like you may have to pack it in, you old so and so!
I imagine he’s somewhere sitting with his head in his hands saying, “9-9-9, oh, we were so close. And we would have made it too, if it weren’t for those meddling ladies and that stupid campaign aide!”
