Halfscot, I'm just catching up on the posts on this topic here today and I am compelled to respond as to what my reaction would be under the circumstances. If a man, heretofore unknown to me, be it the State Governor or the President of the United States of America, Mike Tyson, William Kennedy Smith, or any other "villain" of that genre whom I may be omitting, were to invite me to meet him in his hotel room at some ungodly hour, I would not think it would be for purposes of testing my grammar and spelling and typing skills. Most hotels have very nice bars and other public sitting areas in which one may converse privately about job offers, job contracts, etchings, etc. To invite me, a complete stranger, to his room tells me right there that he has other things on his mind, and elsewhere.

She's an average person who was probably flattered the governor would want to see her. It's reasonable to assume he would want to talk to her about almost anything other than sex. Sex would be the last thing one would assume a governor of the state would have on his mind at that time of the early evening in a crowded hotel. This is a joke, right? I was out to dinner tonight with a bunch of Italians who were howling over the whole thing. They do not share your opinion of Paula. Nor do I. If this is the standard against which all men are to be judged then at no time could a woman expect to meet alone with a male head of state/CEO/ambassador, etc. w/out an escort because it would be expected he would make a play for her. I repeat: he wanted to see her for no "legitimate" reason. Were I attending a large reception and received a second-hand offer to get together with a pezzo grosso privately, and immediately, would I just imagine he "wanted to meet me"? Again: this is a joke, right?
