Local Woman Accuses Herman Cain of Sexual Harrassment

The river of shit GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has been floating down without a paddle continues unabated today after a fourth woman came forward to accuse the cardboard pizza king of sexual harassment.

Chicagoan Sharon Bialek became the first woman to go public with her allegations against Cain. Bialek said her experiences with Cain occurred fourteen years ago when she reached out to him for help looking for a new job. She alleges Cain reached inside her skirt, touched her genitals and tried forcing her head to his crotch.

"I said, 'What are you doing?'" alleged Bialek, who said she had contacted Cain for help getting a job. "You know I have a boyfriend. This isn't what I came here for."

According to Bialek, Cain answered, "You want a job, right?"

The Cain campaign issued a swift denial of Bialek's charges. “All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false,” it said, saying Cain has “never harassed anyone” and called Bialek's charges "bogus."

If Cain thinks he'll be able to ignore the latest charges or hope the media follows his request to do so, he's sorely mistaken: Bialek retained attorney Gloria Allred as one of her attorneys and Allred does nothing quietly or out of range of a camera.
