Put the belligerent misogynist in Congress?


Last night someone brought up that Cedric shouldn’t be trying to be the woman candidate because he has not just one, but three alleged infractions with women who he was romantically involved with. They were referring to an item in the original American Zombie post that examines a series of questionable activities by Rep. Richmond with non-profits he funded (including purchase of a Rolex watch) and alleged payments made to the non-profit’s female director because of a relationship she had with Richmond (which supposedly went sour and apparently badly). Zombie writes, “The first question is what the nature of Richmond's relationship was with the NOCE director.  I have been told it was more than casual, and I'm confident that was the case.” Okay? What is this? Let’s assume we all have bad relationships which we pay the price for, though not all of us have access to non-profit bank accounts to pay them off.

I had heard rumors about the non-profit love incident, had two people, including someone inside Cedric’s camp admit there is “something there”; even had a former state rep verify that because they knew the mother of the woman involved. But you know how those things go…

But a second and third infraction as well? The group says it involved an incident when Richmond attended Morehouse College. And then this item shows up on nola.com:

He bought the diamond bezzle from Sutton's Jewelers in 2002 and signed his name to the non-profit's credit card. Let's also talk about his days in Morehouse College when its alleged he assaulted a woman in a hot tub and then let's look at the widely rumored and alleged rape of the woman from the non-profit. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2010/09/president_barack_obama_endorse/5520/comments-3.html

What is this????

I’m told the Morehouse incident might be an indiscretion from college days, where a woman had him arrested but dropped the charges. The hot-tub incident though is related to an encounter gone bad at a Zulu event, where “no” apparently didn’t mean anything to CR.

Who knows more about this? Well, WBOK might. When Cedric felt the morning announcer Girod Stevens wasn’t being “supportive”, did he lash out at the radio announcer himself? No. He went to Ruth’s Chris and yelled at the man’s significant other…in front of a witness. Said he would get her man fired because he was a Cao apologist. Then Cedric when to DC and told the Congressional Black Caucus to get the man and ruin his career.
