Gloria and Herman Cain
Fox News has released a couple of teaser quotes from Gloria Cain’s interview with Greta van Susteren, scheduled to air tomorrow night. The couple both participated, unfortunately. I was hoping the appearance would be sans Herman. Asked about the accusations of sexual harassment against her husband, Mrs. Cain said the following:
“…you hear the graphic allegations and we know that would have been something that’s totally disrespectful of her as a woman. And I know the type of person he is. He totally respects women.”
Right. I guess that’s why he joked about Anita Hill and called Nancy Pelosi “Princess Nancy.” And his respect for women is probably why Cain allowed a group of his supporters to refer to one of his accusers as an “ugly bitch.”
At another point she added, “I’m thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said.”
Hmmmm…maybe he has dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities). That would explain why he didn’t remember any of the incidents of harassment or the fact that two women were compensated with $35,000 and $45,000 respectively.
A former spokesperson for Cain, Ellen Carmichael,
said on Twitter that the interview marks “the first time I’ve heard Gloria Cain, even after working for Herman for more than a year.”
Cain’s wife, who is said by friends to be a quiet woman, and who is a registered Democrat according to her husband, has steered clear of the spotlight and has not assumed the traditional role of candidate’s wife. Cain has said that his wife has been outraged by the claims against her husband. When Gloria Cain watched accuser Sharon Bialek’s news conference last Monday, she told her husband that the man that Bialek described sounded nothing like the man she’s known for 45 years.
“The things that that woman described, she said, that doesn’t even sound like you, and I’ve known you for 45 years,” Cain recalled his wife saying to him after she watched the press conference from Atlanta. “My own wife said that I wouldn’t do anything as silly as what that lady was talking about.”
That lady? It’s hard to believe that Cain is a baby boomer. He missed out on the consciousness raising part of the ’60s and’70s, that’s for sure.

I am sorry, but a man that jokes about Anita Hill and denigrates women with name calling, doesn’t respect women! To believe her, would be to believe that all the women (who didn’t know about each other’s harassment claims) were lying and that is statically improbable.
Sad, to see Mrs Cain trotted out to attack the women, and make no mistake that is what it is.
Herman was sitting right next to her, just in case she was tempted to spill the beans about the real Herman Cain.
Anyone that knows anything about abusive behavior knows not to have the ‘suspect’ sitting there while ‘witnesses’ give their take/statements. Sheessh I thought Greta was doing a real interview, and not an ad. I guess she also said his 999 plan was sound economic planning.
That’s pretty controlling.
Well, alrighty then. Gloria Cain has spoken. Case(s) closed. /s
I just would believe that a bit more if those sexual harassment suits hadn’t been filed and settled way back when …
plus, I’m not seeing any signs that Ms. Bialick held her press conference after some had paid for thousands of dollars of plastic surgery or been paid to file a suit.
Anita Hill sure didn’t make any money out of her accusations either. Just doesn’t pass the smell test no matter what Ms. Cain says.
…and she may be the little housewife who honestly doesn’t even know her husband outside of the house – has no idea what he’s like in a work environment or when he’s “selling” – for all we know she just may be one of those little “garden club ladies” who really thinks he is as she described him – or not.
It’s as bad as when a guy’s mother says his character is exemplary.
reminds me of when the neighbors and relatives are surprised some one close to them is a serial killer … but he wasn’t that way around me!!!
Exactly.
Men have mistresses or go to prostitutes to do those “nasty” things their wives won’t do. It’s not surprising that Mrs. Cain thinks his play for pay actions seem out of character to her.
