It was announced this week that former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm will be writing a regular column for Politico. Those familiar with Granholm’s track record as governor are likely scratching their heads as to what expertise the former governor could offer that warrants a bi-weekly column.

As readers of my blog, ResCon1, know, I’m with Jeffrey Lord, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham: The Herman Cain sexual harassment controversy is a high-tech lynching of a highly accomplished black man who threatens the liberal order. Indeed, it’s no “Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal”; it is, instead, a Politico media harassment scandal. (more)

1.) Cain admits he was falsely accused — There’s a bizarre strain in some of the reactions to the story of Herman Cain being accused of being accused of some unspecified “inappropriate behavior” by two anonymous women: “He admitted it!” And what exactly is it that he admitted? TheDC’s Jeff Poor reports: “During Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s ‘Happening Now,’ the suddenly embattled former Godfather’s Pizza CEO and Republican presidential front-runner Herman Cain offered a stern denial of allegations, raised in a Sunday Politico story, that he had sexually harassed two women in the late 1990s when he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association. ‘I’ve never sexually harassed anyone, and yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association,’ Cain said. ‘And I say falsely because it turned out after the investigation to be baseless. The people mentioned in that article were the ones who would be aware of any misdoings, and they have attested to my integrity and my character. It is totally baseless, and totally false, never have I committed any sort of sexual harassment.’” That’s right: Herman Cain admits… that he’s never sexually harassed anyone. And now, the people who are terrified of a black Republican in the White House will demand that Cain prove a negative. Yet they get offended when you tell them to prove they’re not racists. (more)

Politico won’t say if a rival campaign fed them the story about sexual harassment allegations made against current Republican presidential front-runner Herman Cain in the 1990s.  (more)
