Except for one that I knew. Janet Peckinpaugh

But look out for the ones with overly high necklines and Peter Pan collars. Whips, chains and Great Danes

I am so sorry

I was hit on, stalked, pressured, coerced, good-buddied, wined and dined, grabbed, shamed, cornered--you name it--as a woman reporter. Give them an inch and they'll take whatever they can get. Your personal life can be as chaste as a nun's but if you're a woman and a reporter, they think you must be flawed and game.

Yes. I've witnessed this with female colleagues during my career. The worst part is that, unlike with a jerk who works at the same company, when a source does it, you can't complain to HR. The most you can do is not associate with that person, and hope your editor doesn't break your chops over losing access to information. (I've heard of female salespersons having similar problems with clients.)

I know I've put too much thought into it but I still think it's Miller because he looks like the kind of guy who needs the help and would ask for it. Corey doesn't need any help picking up women with his tallness and muscular physique and doesn't look like he would ask any woman for help.

I don't mind them asking. But walking up behind me while I'm seated at a desk, and leaning over me and putting his hands on my shoulders, that is physical intimidation. I was trapped. They do that on purpose, and it's unacceptable. The hotel owner tried to hold my passport hostage in return for sex. I told him to go to hell, that I had a photocopy and would high-tail it for the Embassy in Madrid and report him to the Guardia Civil and Interpol. He turned white and handed the passport over, because nobody wants to get in trouble with the Spanish Guardia Civil.

Not at all. It was a temp job...I could tell by the third day that if they offered me a permanent job, I wouldn't want to work there. In fact, they did offer it to me, twice, and I declined.

I think it's probably that Miller asshole. The guy ACTUALLY looks in the mirror (or all the mirrors, glass door & windows, etc.) every day, thinking that he is really the hottest stud around. His personality matches his looks, and they're both beyond disgusting.

So Lewandowki had a wife AND a campaign mistress (Hope?) and STILL NEEDED SOME ADDITIONAL STRANGE.

Just fuck these guys, and not the fun way.
