Herman Cain is apparently still denying he had a 13-year sexual affair with that lady in Georgia, even though no one who wasn't gung ho to see him in the White House believes the denial. One Cain supporter friend I have is online blaming it on the media, which apparently also was responsible for all those stupid things Cain said in speeches and interviews. I have no great respect for most reporters these days but I don't think candidates who lecture people about "personal responsibility" should turn around and argue that it's someone else's fault when foolish remarks come out of their mouths.

There are many obvious reasons why Cain is still denying it. I doubt one of them is that he's afraid of criminal prosecution even though adultery is technically illegal in Georgia, where some of the alleged adulterizing took place. This article includes a map that shows where it is and where it isn't. You may also be interested in the wish lists of some of our current politicians and candidates for office. They're all folks who will tell you they want government to get out of our lives…but they do want it to tell you who you can have sex with and to dictate what the two of you are allowed to do.
