Karen Kraushaar is one of the women who has publicly accused Herman Cain of sexual impropriety.
Josh Kraushaar worked for Politico. Therefore, according to Mark Block, Cain's chief of staff, Karen Kraushaar's son works for Politico. See "The era of not my responsibility", Dana Milbank, Washington Post, 2011-11-11.
The problem is that Josh Kraushaar is not related to Karen Kraushaar and he hasn't worked for Politico for 17 months.
It seems to me that modern-day Republicans are quick to blame "left-leaning" media for the problems Republicans created for themselves, a sort of "shoot the messenger" mentality. Interestingly, President George W. Bush gave Politico an endorsement and the liberal group Media Matters for America accused Politico of having a "Republican Tilt". I think "left-leaning" has come to mean any media that does not report news according to the Republican party line.
Milbank goes on to catalog other incidents of Republicans blaming others for their shortcomings.
Harry Truman was a Democrat. Since today's Republicans almost never do anything any Democrat would do (or some of yesteryear's Republicans), the signs on their desks read "Pass the buck!"
