So Long, Herman Cain, It Was Great Knowing You

He's Done:  Cain Waves Bye-Bye

This week a woman in Atlanta, one Ginger White, stated that she had a "casual affair" with Herman Cain over a twelve to thirteen year period.  Whereas Cain's former accusers were neither specific nor particularly credible, White's accusations appear believable.

The mounting impression is that Herman Cain is a horn-dog along the lines of Bill Clinton.  As such, he carries a lot of baggage into the race for president and this latest revelation undoubtedly terminates his chance to become president of the United States.

I have vigorously defended Cain in previous posts, but will defend him no longer.  I don't particularly care about his private sex life, but many other voters will care, and will pass him by.  So for that reason, I say, "So long, Herman, it was nice knowin' ya."

Now if there are any other Randy Roaming Republicans out there who want to run for office, I have one word of advice:  Don't.  Don't waste our time.   Stay home and rent "Debby Does Dallas" and leave us the hell alone.

Former Co-Worker Says Sharon Bialek Used Threats of "Sexual Harassment" When She Didn't Get Her Way

Macranger at Macsworld writes about Sharon Bialek (Cain's latest accuser):

“I remember her as a time-waster, and rabble-rouser. If she didn’t get her way she cried about sexual harassment”. A former co-worker, a female no less, emailed me. “She was trouble with a capital “T”. The fact that she waited 13 years and never said a word not even during Cain’s earlier forays into politics. She only now magically appears because Cain is leading in some polls and proving a threat to Barack Obama?

Witness: Cain Accuser Sharon Bialek Hugged Him at Tea Party Meeting Last Month

There is a news report that Sharon Bialek, Cain's latest sexcapades accuser, hugged Cain at a Tea Party meeting a month ago.  She seemed quite happy to see Cain.  The Chicago Sun Times relates:

They hugged each other backstage in a full embrace like old friends.

She grabbed his arm and whispered in his left ear.

She kept talking as he bent to listen, and he kept saying “Uh, huh. Uh, huh.”

Who Is Cain Accuser Sharon Bialek? Details Here.

Sharon Bialek (L) and Gloria Allred (R)

Cain's latest sexcapades accuser is one Sharon Bialek from Chicago.  There is one Sharon Bialek listed in Chicago, and she is 59 years old.  She has changed addresses several times in the past few years.  Apparently, this Sharon Bialek has also used an alias, if this is the Sharon Bialek in question.

One of my contacts says he thinks the Sharon Bialek in the videos is much younger than 59, but I don't think so.  Hair bleach and makeup can do wonders for older women nowadays. (Per Wikipedia, Gloria Allred is 70 years old but looks much younger.) Also, per Chuck Goudie (discussed below), Bialek's fiancee is one Mark S Harwood of Mundelein, IL.  The only Mark S Harwood listed was born in 1953, making him 58 years of age, so I do believe the 59 year old Sharon described above is the person in question.

Close Up Indicates Bailek Is Not So Young

According to Chuck Goudie at ABClocal.go.com, Bialek has held numerous jobs, had a child out of wedlock and has two personal bankruptcies on her record.  Apparently, Bialek has struggled financially.

Could her recent allegations be motivated by a desire for money?  Or is it merely a desire for attention, her "15 minutes of fame"?  What's in it for Gloria Allred, and who is paying her fees?

Update:  I found a close-up of Bailek with Allred that shows Bailek's heavy makeup and skin lines; in this photo she doesn't look so young.  In fact, she looks like she puts her makeup on with a trowel.
