Pizza guy and dispenser of copious amounts of semen, Herman Cain has more lady problems:
An Atlanta businesswoman is breaking her silence, claiming she has been involved in a 13-year-long affair with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, FOX 5 senior I-Team reporter Dale Russell sat down with Ginger White, who had a story to tell.
“I’m not proud,” White told Russell. “I didn’t want to come out with this. I did not.”
White was worried a political tsunami was headed her way. So, she decided to head it off, by confessing she was involved in a 13-year-long affair with presidential hopeful Herman Cain.
“It was pretty simple,” White said. “It wasn’t complicated. I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship.”
Ginger White says she met Herman Cain in the late 90s in Louisville, Kentucky, when as president of the National Restaurant Association, he made a presentation. She was impressed. She says they shared drinks afterwards and he invited her back to his hotel room.
“’I’d like to see you again,’” White said Cain told her. “’You are beautiful to me, and I would love for us to continue this friendship.’”
She says in his hotel room, he pulled out a calendar and invited her to meet him in Palm Springs. She accepted, and she says the affair began.
Who knew that being the president of the National Restaurant Associates would get you more ass than a Hoveround showroom test-drive model? Must be the 25% off on appetizers even if it isn’t Happy Hour….
Needless to say, Mitt Romney will get no bounce from this.

Even Newt’s starting to take notes….
Is that what the kids are calling it these days…
He’s sexed up Ann Coulter? Yikes! At least he’s not teh gay, or is he….
Oh jeepers – did she have to be named “Ginger White”?
Obligatory YouTube clip:

Further proof that truth is stranger than fiction.
If this was a novel, the editor would reject that name as being too unrealistic.
From the article:
We texted the number and Herman Cain called us back. He told us he “knew Ginger White” but said these are “more false allegations.” He said she had his number because he was “trying to help her financially.”
“You want a job, right?”
I swear to god, this is performance art that would make Andy Kaufman blush…
Okay I don’t really even want to know what a “hoveround” is, but since we’re talking about Herman Cain I’m guessing something that happens by surprise from behind when people are vacuuming.
You make it sound much more frisky than it really is!
I like how the official Republican broadcast media network, Fox News, broke the story. I’m guessing that they voted Herm off the island.
Funniest thing was the lawyer’s statement telling us that, hey, this happened between 2 consenting adults and was none of our business. Those moral relativists are always moving the goalposts….
Cain had a thing going on with Mrs. White? Calling Billy Paul!
Of course Fake Noise will direct their “viewers” that it’s no big deal. It’s ye olde IOKIYAR, which applies every time.
Eh. But this will be great news for John McCain.
a Hoveround showroom test-drive model
Officially approved mode of transportation for Tea Partiers everywhere.
I know I looked it up now. Far less interesting than the reacharound by helicopter or whatever it was that it sounded like before I knew.
Wasn’t that Mrs. Jones?
I think there was a Mrs. White in “Clue” though.
Mr Cain, with his candlestick, in the ballroom, and the study, and the library, and the lounge, and the kitchen….
TBogg, fortunately you’re “a somewhat popular blogger” or the devastation would be much greater. Thank you.
Damn, at this point Cain might as well stop denying it, do a 180, and start running on his sexual prowess. “If this nation elects me to be President, I’ll whip out my mighty calendar and then EVERYBODY will have a job before they know it. Y’all want a job, don’t you?”
No kidding. At this point, he should just pull a Bill Clinton and essentially say something like this:
And also no kidding. Wouldn’t one think, if one were he, that this stuff was bound to come out from some source….either the women or people who knew what was going on….that thing going on? Just a small assumption, but these people put there lives on review.
Obviously! You have nowhere to go but up in your taste level, dear.
Remember when Bill Clinton was a prevert for having a consensual relationship with an intern?
Clinton was a novice compared to Newticles and Herman.
What’s interesting here to me:
– Ginger White came out before she could be outed (and likely as a way to deny whoever was going to out her a nice juicy fee from whatever tabloid that was working with her would-be outers).
– The sexual part of the relationship, as shown by copious phone records, was going on right up to the point where he officially jumped into the race; but he was no doubt intending to resume it once the race was over, hence his continuing to contact her until fairly recently.
Shit, Gennifer Flowers had far, far less actual proof when she tried to take down Bill Clinton’s campaign.
Pizza? I thought you ate pickled Ginger with sushi…
99.9% of American women erect Herman Cain!
I wonder if the Cain wife is going to stand by her man?
If she’s Able.
;)) You didn’t really say!!!! Did you? Actually,
I think there is probably a lot she is Able to do…
Couldn’t resist! I suspect that Mrs. Cain will do her ‘family values’ and stick to the plan. However, just heard on Rachel that Mrs. Cain voted Dem quite a bit. She ought to slap Vain Cain’s sorry ass right out the door, but I suspect she’ll try to cover for him.
Be interesting to watch….Mrs. Tiger Woods surely got out. Not only with the women, but Cain has really shown himself to be an idiot. Creepy, isn’t it?
Yep, every one has a nickname for it, calendar is as good as any.
Either this goat liked the nookie of she was looking for favors . . . .
No one is innocent when lack of simple decency is involved . . .
I don’t buy the cocktails drove her to his calendar . . . if that was true, TBOGG would be right and any of us stiffs could get laid fast, any time we want . . . ;-)
“Pizza guy and dispenser of copious amounts of semen”
Wow, got my attention – what a great lead into the story.
These guys are rich with comedic material.
He’s likely polling better, but his chances of running for orafice are slim to nun.
Oops, didn’t mean that just for you, Dearie.
But I did love your “Able” reply :)
Cain’s only hope is a [well] hung Convention.
Herm doesn’t give a fuck since he’s merely trying to extend his campaign, collect more cash and flog more books. He knew from the beginning he could play the rubes (with the help of everyone who hates Willard). He just didn’t know for how long. Once he was counting down months. Now he’s counting down weeks, soon to be days. He’s on the clock. Does he go “total teabag” to remain relevant with the crazies for a few more weeks or choose to fade away with what little dignity he may still think he has?
9 weeks/days, 9 days/hours, 9 hours/minutes…
Herman Cain: “This is a high-tech lynching…..” in 5, 4, 3, 2 …..
I will bet five dollars against a stale doughnut that the Hermster has Big Ten Inch (the Aerosmith version, natch) on an IPod somewhere. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
I think even CAIN! would need to get awfully drunk before attempting Our Lady of the Adam’s Apple.
The Blues Brothers have her theme song at the ready:

Though ‘Reatha would have something to say to that:

So tally s/him in the “yes” column…
With any luck, this will prompt another Mike-Tyson-as-Herman-Cain video.
Yes, Herman Cain. UNDERCOVER BROTHER, seems to know how to put those pizza toppings. However, I also wonder about these women. They all seem to mess around quietly and then, years later, they awaken in masses.
The Herminator denies it all.
Nein, Nein, Nein
It’s really is sad that they won’t actually nominate him now, imagine Cain at the convention pointing to all the women and yelling “You’re getting a job! You’re getting a job! You’re all getting a job!”
Or at least interviews, anyway.
People just don’t understand how to put on entertaining conventions anymore.
This is guffaw worthy:
Private bedroom for me, horny Republican, not for thee vile Democrat!
Who knew that being the president of the National Restaurant Associates would get you more ass than a Hoveround showroom test-drive model?
And who knew that the section on chicken ranching in the National Restaraunt Associate’s annual report actually referred to THAT kind of chicken ranch.
Actually “calendar” is what Herman calls his political future. Specifically, “Mayan Calendar,” because it ends in 2012.
I still think the Herm is holding out for a big payday from the RNC. That buyout number is probably going down, but who knows? The Herminator could still cause some serious damage. He could, for instance, go all victimhood and point fingers at Gingrich, saying, “hey, what’s with the double standard? At least I wasn’t divorcing my wife to get a little something on the side.” If he plays his cards right, he can still negotiate a nice exit plan.
That’s something that has occurred to me, as well. All politicians are whores these days, as well as Grifters. Cain got himself on the grifter train, and I suspect he’ll ride that gravy train until the gravy runs out. Where’s the downside to it for Cain, after all? He’s toast; he knows it; but if there’s still some CHA-CHING in it, Herm’ll go after the bling! Count on it.
Looks like he’s pullin’ out.

Well this is depressing.
It looks like he will be out of the Presidential race before we all find out he did not get a single vote in a primary.
There is no way a Republican is going to vote for a Black, even in a primary; in spite of what they all say.
The closest we got before was when Colin Powell was considering.
But the average comment that “he sounds so good” was really telling.
It will take an actual Black candidate in a Republican primary to prove the point.
Herman Cain will apparently not be that Black.
But my mom’s been dead for 6 years.
In Cain’s book, that’s probably not a bar to his “sexing.”
Add: and you can all watch.
Well, the only one that could really be said to have messed around quietly for years before coming forward would be the one that allegedly had the 13 year consensual affair. The others were subjected to (fairly short-term) sexual harassment and either received settlements that included the provision of keeping quiet, or just decided it wasn’t worth the possible loss of jobs/careers, and then when one came forward, the dam more or less broke for the rest.
