Damnit, people, how many times do I have to tell you to move on from my history of sexual harassment?

Hmmm. Where have we heard
this before?
Herman Cain said Tuesday that his campaign is "moving on" from discussing the allegations of sexual harassment that continue to dog his campaign. [...]
But Cain was not interested in further discussing the matter in an interview Tuesday morning with Radio Iowa.
“There has been no new information, no new data, no new facts, no new nothing, so there isn’t anything that we can do other than to stay on message,” Cain said.
Oh yeah. This was Herman Cain's campaign two weeks ago:
“Done. Move on,” Block said. “Let’s talk about what the American people want to hear about, and that’s jobs, jobs jobs.” [...]
"If we have to spend every hour, every day, responding to these ridiculous accusations, it will take us off our message and our campaign. So my statement will stand: Mr. Cain has never sexually harassed anyone, period, end of story."
Of course, that was before we'd learned that Herman Cain's former employer had to pay $80,000 in hush money to two different women. And before we'd heard of Sharon Bialek, who accused Cain of sexually assaulting her. But those were just a bunch of baseless accusations from anonymous people, so Cain's done talking about that and ready to focus on what really matters: baseless accusations from anonymous people.
“There are peaceful Muslims,” Mr. Cain explains, “and there are extremists.”
He added: “I have had one very well-known Muslim voice say to me directly that a majority of Muslims share the extremist views.”
Pressed on whether he believes that is true, Mr. Cain says he believes his anonymous acquaintance is correct because “that’s his community. I can’t tell you his name, but he is a very prominent voice in the Muslim community, and he said that.”
Oh no! Scary, extremist Muslims! Man, that story is just so "done."
