Gloria Cain Says Her Husband “Totally Respects Women.”

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.”

The WaPo has a little more.

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.
