Horny Herman paid $45k to one woman and $35k to another in sex harrassment case

It is now being reported that Horny Herman paid $45,000 to settle a sexual harrassment case with one woman in the late 1990's and paid a second woman around $35,000.  He claims that both of these are "baseless", but apparently his lawyer didn't think it was baseless, or they wouldn't have spent $80,000 on these two cases.  Only a moron would spend $80,000 on "baseless" cases.  It would not have cost $80,000 to argue these cases if they were truly baseless.  The National Restaurant Association had an army of lawyers who would have gone to court and argued for summary dismissal, and it wouldn't have cost them anything more than they were likely paying already for legal representation.  Therefore it is absolutely impossible that Horn Dog Herman is telling the truth when he claims that these cases had no merit.  The proof that these cases had merit was that they spent this amount on them, which is even more sizeable in 1998 dollars.
