Herman Cain's confirmed friend and alleged something more Ginger White has returned to the public eye, writing in Salon all about—what else?—her alleged affair with Cain.
"One time we were having sex, and I was looking up at the ceiling, thinking about, ‘What am I going to buy at the grocery store tomorrow?'" Ginger White tells the Daily Beast, not at all sounding like someone who is exhausted and humiliated by the media circuit.
Herman Cain gave Ginger White money to pay for her "month-to-month bills and expenses" without telling his wife, he explained to the New Hampshire Union-Leader's editorial board Thursday, but she understands.
Herman Cain was "somber" when he told a staffers that he would "reassess" whether the latest allegation of sexual impropriety made it impossible to continue his campaign, but by Tuesday night Cain had his game face back on.
Herman Cain's alleged 13 or 14-year, "on-again, off-again" mistress, Ginger White spoke with George Stephanopoulos this morning.
Herman Cain's lawyer says Ginger White, who says she had a 13-year affair with Cain, once asked him for help with her rent and car payments, and "he obliged."
A lot of Herman Cain's problems on the campaign trail have come from the fact that he doesn't seem to use the same dictionary as the rest of us.
