Herman Cain admits sexual harassment charges ... but he doesn't know anything else about them

Herman Cain went straight into the lion's den to deny accusations that he ever sexually harassed anyone—check that—he went on Fox News to face a couple of softballs being lobbed at him:

"It is totally baseless and totally false," Cain said. "Never have I ever committed any kind of sexual harassment."

He added: "If the restaurant association did a settlement, I wasn’t even aware of it and I hope it wasn’t for much. If there was a settlement, it was handled by some of the other officers at the restaurant association."

Uh huh. Sounds perfectly reasonable. In Bizarro World.

And in related news:

The National Restaurant Association declined Monday to confirm or deny POLITICO's story regarding allegations of misconduct against Herman Cain when he headed the trade group.

In a statement from Sue Hensley, the NRA's head of public affairs, the group said of reported inappropriate behavior by Cain: "The incidents in question relate to personnel matters that allegedly took place nearly fifteen years ago."

Make up your mind, NRA. Were they "incidents" or not?
