Herman Cain’s ‘lavish’ spending at National Restaurant Association drew scrutiny

...... as revelations keep surfacing, it seems clear that plenty of other people may have had an interest in divulging less-than-flattering details about the Republican candidate's tenure at the NRA.

As Bloomberg's Lisa Lerer reports, Cain irked some of his NRA colleagues by operating in a "free-wheeling, free-spending culture:"

Former employees of the association told Bloomberg News that work-related outings frequently featured heavy drinking as lobbyists entertained board members and lawmakers.

Cain was known for lavish spending, they said, racking up cell phone and travel bills that drew accountants' attention and angered some board members. He won over employees by giving generous raises to many, said three people who worked for or with the group and spoke on condition of anonymity.

p.s. So, considering Cain was the president of a 'lobbyist' group, and there were outing that featured heavy drinking while entertaining 'lawmakers' --- I'm wondering if any news of Cain hiring 'girls' for 'lawmakers' is going to be one the shoes to drop in the next coming days :)

the enemy

The knives are out for Cain, but if he can blame "liberals" and get away with it, he just might wind up with the nomination.

you can take that to the bank. If he does gather more traction after this, the bosses will pour more fuel on this fire until he'll leave on his own.
They've already started to hint about the wife and the "maybe,not so happy home."

We have to concentrate on Mitt Romney.

Cain is entertaining for us & for them. He's a useful idiot who can be counted on to talk trash about black folks and get away with it. But you're right, they'll stop him, come hell or high water.

It's when the identity of the women he harassed become public. If one is white watch the corporate mediaheads explode. Let's see how rushbo and faux noise try to 'splain that one away to its racist base...
