can t leak what it didn t know. that is where we start today. a whole new round of accusations and denials in the hottest story in politics this week anyway. the man now leading the republican race for president says he think he knows who leaked a sexual harassment allegation from the 1990s. herman cain says he confided to an advisor named kurt anderson back when cain was rubbing for a senate seat from georgia in 2004. today anderson works for rick perry who s plummeted in the polls while cain has soared. but that s hardly the final word on all of this. cnn chief political animal gist gloria borger joins me now with many more words, some of this from kurt anson himself. hi, gloria, what s his side of this? i spoke with him this morning on american morning. his side of it is just flatly that the conversation that herman cain said happened never happened. listen to this. well, there s two problems with that. one is i didn t know anything about this and so it s hard to l
ask cain s former employer to lift that confidentiality agreement so she could break her silence. she wants to file a written statement contradicting his claims that he did nothing improper. the stress on the presidential candidate, as you can see, is showing. don t even bother asking me all of these other questions that you all are curious about. okay. don t even bother. excuse me. excuse me. cain s not just snapping at reporters. now lashing out at rick perry. a perry campaign adviser actually leaked old allegations. gloria borger just spoke with the man who is the target of cain s fingerpointing and, gloria, curt anderson is accused of leaking the sexual harassment allegations and you asked him directly, did he leak the info, it was interesting, he sort of danced around your direct question for a while and then finally got to it. but he still said it in a very interesting way. well, he came out quite directly and wanted, in fact, to talk to me on the air to clear his
