Herman Cain chief of staff and infamous smoker Mark Block said he’s done talking about the sexual harassment allegations against his boss.

“This is the last time I’ll be addressing the issue that has swirled Washington and the nation this week,” Block said. “As you know, Mr. Cain is a different kind of candidate. We have ran a different kind of campaign and we are not going to play by the rules that the media has established. The fact of the matter — the Politico article — if it was held up to the same standards as the code ethics for journalism, the people involved in that would be fired.”

Block confirmed that the campaign is considering suing Politico over the sexual harassment story. “It’s being discussed,” Block said.

“Quite frankly, we are not really running against the other candidates. We have a campaign plan. We have a strategy and we are sticking to it,” Block said.
