WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman who settled a sexual harassment complaint against GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain in 1999 complained three years later at her next job about unfair treatment, saying she should be allowed to work from home after a serious car accident and accusing a manager of circulating a sexually charged email, The Associated Press has learned.

Karen Kraushaar, 55, filed the complaint while working as a spokeswoman at the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the Justice Department in late 2002 or early 2003, with the assistance of her lawyer, Joel Bennett, who also handled her earlier sexual harassment complaint against Cain in 1999. Three former supervisors familiar with Kraushaar's complaint, which did not include a claim of sexual harassment, described it for the AP under condition of anonymity because the matter was handled internally by the agency and was not public.

To settle the complaint at the immigration service, Kraushaar initially demanded thousands of dollars in payment, a reinstatement of leave she used after the accident earlier in 2002, promotion on the federal pay scale and a one-year fellowship to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, according to a former supervisor familiar with the complaint. The promotion itself would have increased her annual salary between $12,000 and $16,000, according to salary tables in 2002 from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Wow, she wanted to work at home after a serious car accident and complained about a offensive e-mail. In my best Tony Soprano voice. "They got nothing."

3. Remember, the GOP backed a candidate who NEVER was involved in a

business that didn't go bankrupt either while he was running it, or right after he left it ... George W. Bush couldn't find oil in TEXAS, for crying out loud ...

4. How do those former supervisors get away with providing confidential personnel information?

"...described it for the AP under condition of anonymity because the matter was handled internally by the agency and was not public."

Then they should not be making it public now either. What were they thinking? Why is it ok to release the information anonymously? I don't get it. The employee is supposed to be protected in these situations from publicity.

5. Good Catch

But if that's the best the Reich Wing can do to discredit her they failed.

She has called Herb a "monster". He must have really done something sick...

6. Because everyone knows a woman can only be sexually harrassed or assaulted

once in her life......:eyes:
