While appearing on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart Tuesday, former President Bill Clinton did a good job of dodging a joke about Herman Cain — who has been battling accusations of sexual harassment by several women, one of which told her story to the news media this week. Discussing his new book, “Back to Work,” wherein he outlines his proposals for fixing the economy, Clinton said, “I don’t know if you saw the news story today, 49 million Americans living below the poverty line.” Stewart chimed in by saying, “Oh, I thought you were going to say 49 million Americans accused Herman Cain.” Clinton laughed, but left the issue alone — perhaps not wanting to get into a discussion about his own infamous scandal.
