"Sexual harassment" and "sexual misconduct" do not shorthand into "affairs."  Period.  And this little rhetorical tapdance you are doing, attempting to convince us that this (emphasis is mine):

I wish that the scandal would break more slowly, every week that this drags out, the worse the GOP is going to do with women given some of the comments on this.

I wish the accusers would slow their information releases a bit and let us bask in the unfortunate statements of the GOP.

which only a moron would not understand is clearly and specifically about Herman Cain, is "really" "shorthand" for behavior that you say you know the difference between, is asking for people to completely let go of whatever intelligence they have.

And here's the evidence, in your own words:  

I wish that the scandal would break more slowly, every week that this drags out, the worse the GOP is going to do with women given some of the comments on this.

There are real people at the heart of this issue.  Real people - women - who have felt harassed, degraded and demeaned, who have felt so intimidated and fearful for their professional lives that they have sat on what happened to them for a long, long time.

Does that concern you?  Not that anyone could notice from your comments.  No, as long as you can milk as much political benefit out of this for your guy, who cares what this is doing to the women involved, right?

That feminist crowd you run with must be so, so proud.

Have you ever heard the expression that rape is not about sex, but about power?  Well, sexual harassment isn't really about sex, either - it, too, is about power.

I'm kind of surprised that someone who claims to be a feminist doesn't know this.  Oh, wait - you aren't actually a feminist, you just impersonate one in the blogosphere (hint: it takes more than dropping buzz words into comments to establish feminist credibility) - and it's really not a very good impersonation, at that.

i think it's entirely reasonable that ABG views Cain's actions & situation in terms of political outcomes for President Obama

I think that what you did, going to Shakesville, and offering your view that,

"there are progressive and feminist women out there who are comfortable with porn"

So what if Cain was "forewarned"?  There wasn't much he could do, except for hope that Bialek wouldn't go public.  She didn't, until Cain started trashing the other two accusers and making conflicting statements in trying to minimize their claims.

"For all we know" ... heh.  Do you realize you can make up anything after those words, all without a single bit of evidence.  Of course, it's more than a little transparent.  BTW - If she was trying to "blackmail" Cain for money or a campaign job, how long do you think it would have been before he held a conference to let the press know about it, rather than claiming he didn't know her?

The Linda Tripp reference also makes no sense, other than to try to analogize the situation to the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal - a couple of others have tried to do that as well.
