Total payout to Cains abusee's 80k. 35k and 45k
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57317912-503544/cain-accuser-was-reportedly-paid-$45000/


One of the women who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment during the 1990s was apparently paid about $45,000 as part of a settlement, according to Politico.

The report states that the woman who received the payout is the same woman Cain spoke about in an interview with Fox News, when he recounted his version of the incident. According to that account, the woman was a writer in the communications department of the National Restaurant Association (NRA) when Cain was the lobbying group's chief executive.

In the interview, Cain said he did not remember the woman's name, but that he thought she had received "maybe three months' salary or something like that," as part of the deal.

1. You've come a long way, baby
From "I don't know nothin' 'bout harassin' no women" to $80,000 in payouts in just a few days. What will we see next week from the Cain Scrutiny? Will Herman still be squirmin' by Veterans Day, or will we be in the market for a new flavor-of-the-month?

5. As much as I can't
stand they guy, I must take issue with the way you characterized his speech. He does not talk that way. He says really idiotic things but he has good command of the English language.

7. Sell your stories, ladies! There's plenty of media outlets that will pay that and more.
Let the market decide!

8. 35k is "three months' salary"?
In the 90s?

Nobody who makes 144K/yr is going to settle a harrassment charge for 35k. Not gonna happen.
