What’s The Story?

Yesterday the media was aglow with reports that a woman has accused Herman Cain of a 13 year affair.  She knew it was wrong but she did it anyways, she said.  Is that the story?

Most reporters raced to the probable impact this revelation might have on Cain’s chance to gain the GOP Presidential nomination.  These reporters should be all fired since Cain has between zero and zilch chance of winning any primary let alone the nomination.

Some reported Cain’s attorney saying that the sex life between consenting adults is none of anyones business particularly the press.  This is a worthy story but not what the conservative social value followers want to hear or read.

The real story, as when the first allegations of sexual harassment emerged against Cain, is who leaked the story and what was the gain expected by those bringing the charges?  Was it for money?  (Like that would never occur to a civic minded citizen.)

At this moment there is no smoking gun… that has been found.  If I were to look for one, I would be looking in either Rick Perry’s or Karl Rove’s closets.

Perry has only a little time to get into the top three now that Newt has slipped into number two making Perry number four.  If Perry could discredit Cain, maybe Perry could live to fight another day.

The Rove options is a little deeper stretch.  It is true that Rove already has vast experience at smear tactics and planting false and unflattering rumors about others.  It is part of his DNA.  However, as of now, Rove has no dogs in this fight… that is if we only consider the declared candidates.

Rove is already busy with influence ad postings (via American Crossroads).  He is just missing an announced candidate.  Rove is a stretch, but not that far out a one.

Sadly, the news media is as lame as advertised.  They are fully compromised since the next 12 months represent the biggest pay days for television, radio, and print media.  If they are fed misinformation and told to forget who told them, they will for fear of missing the next really big piece of news.

Dead rats, however, have a habit of creating such a smell that their presence finally does become known.  We will see.
