HIding behind Wifey's skirts

Herman Cain is still playing the denial game on his sexual harassment accusations. About the latest, he (I guess inevitably) claims his wife knows he wouldn't do that:

"The things that woman described, that doesn't even sound like you!" he quoted his wife saying,

Of course he's not going to talk to his wife the way he talks to a woman he is dogging!

The fact is, men like Cain get off on harassment partly because it's different from the relationship they have with their wives. "Dirtier." You say things to women you fuck around with that you'd never say to your wife, do things you'd never do with your wife. That gives it its extra special zing.

Doesn't anyone remember the argument still put forth, that prostitution is necessary because wives won't give their husbands a little head? Madonna versus whore is alive and well in these guys' minds.

Speaking to FOX News Radio's Bill O'Reilly, the Republican presidential candidate also said his wife of 43 years had been "disgusted" by the allegations, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"She is disgusted that this has happened. She is disgusted with how the story has been twisted," Cain said of his wife Gloria.

"She is still 200 percent supportive of me and she is still 200 percent my wife. So she's handling it."

This is pretty funny. I would think she'd be up to 400 percent by now. Denial is a river that's hard to stop drinking from.

I do have some sympathy for the women married to these shits. It can't be fun lying to yourself, wondering when the next scandal will break, if he'll bring home a disease or the other woman will bring out a baby. And of course we don't even know what she really said, because we only have his word on it.

But if it's true she's denying other women's experience to feel more comfortable about herself and her relationship, she's just enabling Cain to harass and lie again.
