Cain details gesture that led to sex accusation - Byron York

Part of what we are doing here is determining the candidates' fitness for the highest office in the land. Politics aside, I'm still confused how a campaign lets a situation boil for ten days and has no answers for it, or why they didn't head it off in the first place.

Van Susteren asked what Cain did that led to the accusation.  There were reportedly more than one accusations in the complaint, but Cain said he recalled just one incident.  "She was in my office one day, and I made a gesture saying -- and I was standing close to her -- and I made a gesture saying you are the same height as my wife.  And I brought my hand up to my chin saying, 'My wife comes up to my chin.'"  At that point, Cain gestured with his flattened palm near his chin.  "And that was put in there [the complaint] as something that made her uncomfortable," Cain said, "something that was in the sexual harassment charge."

York is no liberal, and the fantasy that this is a hitjob by the liberal media is absurd. This was smoked out by some GOP operative who probably also knew that Cain's response would be stumbling and confused.
