This whole Herman Cain “scandal” is starting to look ridiculous. The more we learn, the more it looks like a ginned up hit piece against a GOP front runner. It’s not without its points of fact – but those few points, at least for now, seem relatively small.

Fact 2) The Restaurant Association made the decision that it was less expensive to settle out of court that to take the case to court.
Fact 3) One of those women was paid $35,000, equal to a year’s salary, let go and she signed an agreement to not talk about it.
Fact 4) We don’t know, at this point, what the settlement was regarding the other woman.
Fact 5) Herman Cain was not fired by the Restaurant Association.
