Sharon Bialek: The Best Thing To Happen To Herman Cain?

So after all the innuendo and code words (but no actual details besides a "uncomfortable gesture"), the media was thrilled that a women had finally "stepped forward" with the exact details of the sexual assault she endured from Herman Cain.  But not only was Sharon Bialek's tale a bit over the top ("he suddenly reached under my skirt and grabbed for my genitals"), it seems as if our accuser has a bit of a shady past herself.  Andrea Peyser in the New York Post gives us a glimpse at the real Sharon Bialek, and labels her a gold digger:

I love a good romantic farce as much as the next bored housewife. But the question remains: Why sit on this seeming sexual assault for 14 years?

According to someone who knows Bialek: “She has a very infectious personality. It’s easy to see how she won [Cain] over. But the reality of her situation is -- she’s a complete gold digger. It’s all about the money.”

"I feel like I just won the lottery!  

The friend said she comes from a lower-middle-income family, but lives in a posh apartment running from bill collectors. “Most of her jobs ended in termination. It’s always the employer’s fault, not hers.

“This is a lady who lives off the system. She is hellbent on finding a way of never having to work and living the lifestyle she wants to live, a very affluent lifestyle. In my next life, I want to come back as her.”

The sad part is that Bialek has a 13-year-old son who must live with the shame and media scrutiny.

The public record on Bialek begins in 1991 when she filed personal bankruptcy for the first time while living in Des Plaines.

Between 1993 and 1996 Bialek worked for four different companies in promotion and marketing positions.
In 1999, Bialek’s son Nicholas was born and a paternity lawsuit was filed by the father, a media executive.

In 2001 came Bialek’s second personal bankruptcy, filed after sizable legal bills. That year she was hired by WGN radio where she worked until 2004 when she took a marketing job and then a job at WCKG radio.


What would you call a person who would interfere with the entire national political process in order to earn some fame for herself, and maybe a quick payday, regardless of the shame she might accrue?

Yeah, "whore" was the word I was thinking of as well. And whores don't have a lot of credibility with the public (though the media loves them - remember the Duke "rape case"? Uh huh...), so I doubt Sharon Bialek's story will carry much weight with the voting public.

But if ever a time was ripe to create a backlash against the media - for hanging an innocent black man on the word of a fallen women - this might be the moment...

"Sharon darling, try to wipe the smirk off your face....it's not playing well...."
