Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has an idea who might be behind the allegations of sexual harassment that plagued his campaign two years ago: the Devil.
The former CEO of the National Restaurant Association told RealClearReligion in a story published Wednesday that he didn't challenge allegations that he sexually harassed at least four women, some of them anonymous, while at the helm of that organization because it would have been a "huge distraction" from his campaign. He maintained that his accusers are "liars."
Now serving as an associate pastor at a Baptist church in Atlanta, Cain speculated to the publication that the Devil may have masterminded the allegations.
"It made me realize that there was a bigger force than right," he said, further blaming the media for "not doing their due diligence."
The devil went down to Georgia

Does this open him up for slander/libel?

Only the Devil can decide that. I guess if Satan does not sue, then it must be true, right?
Or maybe... The Devil thinks fighting this slander is a a
"huge distraction" from his campaign.
Right?

he retired. Cain's show is nothing but anger, name calling, random statistics, and sound effects. He yells "NEWS NUGGET!!!" every other sentence. How anyone can listen to that crap intently is beyond me.
If you've ever seen the Boondocks, Herman Cain is Uncle Ruckus. No, seriously....

know enough to not hit on the devil.

I heard his show the first week when he took over from boorz. It was laaaaaaaaaaame and I gave him one month.
He has, somehow, managed to hang on.
The show is still lame, but he is still there.
