AZ state senator: Herman Cain has not sexually harassed me, even though I am attractive

Arizona state Sen. Lori Klein is Herman Cain’s Arizona state chairman and also the sinking candidate’s single best asset. If I were him, I’d immediately start booking Klein on cable TV as a campaign surrogate, because her impressive spin work is right now being sadly wasted.

Lori Klein, an Arizona state Senator and Cain’s Arizona state chairman, told CBS News she stands by Cain.

Says she has known him for 12 years and he’s “never been anything but a gentlemen – and I am not an unattractive woman.”

...snip...

Klein suggested that if Cain is innocent he should sue White for libel and went on to attack the media for digging up the allegations. She also said that in politics, “we want a virgin to do a hooker’s job.”

You know, if he had been hiring hookers, he might not be in this much trouble...

1. "and I am not an unattractive woman.”

I'll withhold judgment...

7. Maybe it was your breath, Lori. nt

15. Well, she won't know Herman's judgment till he gets her alone.

20. You need the full quote..."I am not an unattractive woman when compared

to Rudy Guiliani in drag.

[Vincardog]

2. You know it is true. I am an attractive man. Cain has not sexually harassed ME/ So he must be

innocent of all charges.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Not the strongest argument in his favor.

[Enrique]

4. wow, they found a woman he hasn't harassed

they've been looking for a while. :thumbsup:

[polichick]

5. Sounds like somebody's jealous. :)

[qb]

6. So is she saying if he's innocent he should sue, but if he's guilty, she wants him anyway

because it's a hooker's job?

I think she'd have helped his case more if she'd just kept quiet.

:rofl:

[snooper2]

8. And she would be the same Lori Klein who pointed a loaded gun at a reporters chest

and yes, you are unattractive, on the inside and outside nasty nasty "woman"

9. Because yeah, everone knows unattractive women can't be harassed.

Because seriously, who'd tap that shit? NASTY! :eyes:

10. Someone, explain to Ms. Klein does have some standards...........

I mean, um, well, ya know..........

[WI_DEM]

11. that is their mindset--they think only 'attractive' women are harassed

and/or assaulted and in their minds they are asking for it.

[gratuitous]

12. I will be so sorry to see the Cain Train go chugging around the bend

This whole farce has been a comedy gold mine from the very beginning.

[Downwinder]

13. Is that an invitation or a complaint?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. Maybe she should invite him up to her place for a pizza and dessert.

[JoePhilly]

16. She thinks that she is so hot that if he did not hit on her, he never hit on anyone else!!!

wow.

Just perhaps ... Herm checked her out, and decided ... "na ... not going to even try to tap that."

[Lint Head]

17. Sounds like she's saying if you're considered attractive you 'should' be harassed.

[frylock]

18. and humble too!

[jobycom]

19. Power is the reason for sexual harassment, not attractiveness.

A harasser is turned on by having power over a woman, having the upper hand so she can't say no without him being able to punish her for it. Unless Klein worked for Cain, he would not harass her.

That's not to say Cain ONLY is attracted to women who work for him, but the ones he harasses have to be under his control in some capacity.

Why can't conservatives grasp this?

21. He'll get 'round to you, don't worry your pretty little head

Once he's done with the ones he wants, he'll turn his attention to the leftovers.

Hang in there, Lori, you've still got a chance!

[sweetloukillbot]

22. She's the idiot who pointed the loaded gun at the reporter! n/t
