Will the candidate responsible for creating Herman Cain's sexual harassment problems please identify himself?

Among the many sad excuses and explanations the right is pulling out of its collective ass for Herman Cain's
little not-so-little sexual harassment problem,
this from Ron Paul is definitely a contender for dumbest one so far:
“Conceivably it could be another campaign has done this for all we know right now,” Paul told Fox News.
Um, no. Sorry. FAIL. Hate to break it to you, Doc, but it wasn't Michele Bachmann who sexually harassed multiple employees 12 years ago. It wasn't one of Mitt Romney's companies that paid off those employees to keep their mouths shut. It wasn't Rick Santorum who, in the span of 24 hours, denied the incidents entirely, then claimed to know nothing about them, then started remembering and re-remembering completely contradictory details.
Maybe Paul meant to blame another campaign for leaking the story—in which case, duh. But that's not what he said. He's suggesting some other campaign is somehow responsible for creating this messy situation for Herman Cain. But really, there's only one candidate who "has done this," and that would be Cain. In fact, he's up to his chin in it.
