   Fifth Woman Accuses Herman Cain, Alleges She Was Asked To Broker Dinner Date
   by Tommy Christopher

   Those who spent part of last week waiting for the other shoe to drop in the Herman Cain alleged sexual harassment story can now throw another pump onto the pile, as a fifth woman has come forward to allege possibly inappropriate behavior by the embattled GOP frontrunner. The Washington Examiner reports that Donna Donella, a then-United States Agency for International Development worker, claims Cain tried to get her to arrange a dinner with a “lovely young lady” in the audience at a speech he gave in 2002.

   Coming, as it does, on the heels of yesterday’s disturbing allegations by Sharon Bialek, Donella’s allegation might seem tame by comparison, but it also underscores the difference in the emotional impact of a source with a name and a set of specifics. From The Washington Examiner‘s Susan Ferrechio:

   Donna Donella, 40, of Arlington, said the USAID paid Cain to deliver a speech to businessmen and women in Egypt in 2002, during which an Egyptian businesswoman in her 30s asked Cain a question.

   “And after the seminar was over,” Donella told The Washington Examiner, “Cain came over to me and a colleague and said, ‘Could you put me in touch with that lovely young lady who asked the question, so I can give her a more thorough answer over dinner?’”

   Donella, who no longer works for USAID, said they were suspicious of Cain’s motives and declined to set up the date. Cain responded, “Then you and I can have dinner.” That’s when two female colleagues intervened and suggested they all go to dinner together, Donella said.

   Donella goes on to say that she “couldn’t swear that he had some untoward intentions, but we all thought his tone was suspect and we didn’t feel comfortable putting him in touch with that woman.”

   She also claims that, at their group dinner, Cain ordered $800 worth of wine, then skipped out on the check.

   On its own, Donella’s tale is slightly creepy, but open to interpretation. Taken in context with Sharon Bialek’s allegations, and those of the three other as-yet-unnamed accusers, it reinforces an ugly view of Cain’s predatory behavior toward women.

   Great suggestions by listeners to send all the unused fertilized eggs in IVFs to the Mississippi state house for storage and the Mississippi Little Miss Personhood pageant.

   The problem is not respect for life or the potential for life, but rather the willful ignorance of basic science. One in three fertilized eggs is “spontaneously aborted” (the medical term for miscarried) due to chromosomal or development abnormalities. Not sure what would happen if these embryos were to continue developing – our pro-life compassionate conservative friends don’t have the greatest record caring for the disabled.

   FYI, the fertilized egg is called an embryo from first cell division until about 8 weeks after fertilization. Within this time frame, the fertilized egg is called a zygote from days 1-4, having half the DNA from each parent, then as it undergoes cell division it’s called a blastocyst (70-100 cells), and so on.
