Precisely. Why the heck should we believe Kate?

Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:26 amTechnically it can easily be true. Perhaps Orsini didn't offer Johnson the gig but did offer it to Johnson's agent. He then has plausible deniability that he didn't offer "Johnson" in person the gig. And the amount probably is based on base plus incentives so the real salary is less than @ million but entire package (cars, house, who knows what) is worth 2 million. All can be technically true and allow all parties involved to go about their business without too many nasty details revealed. And all save face in the process.

"Hey Paul, if my friend asks you to the prom will you accept?"
"What kind of car does he drive...what's for dinner" (etc) - Paul
"Oh, it's a Sewell Village Cadillac, and lots of Bob's Steak and Chop."
"Let me check with My Mom." - Paul
...
"No, my Mom said it wouldn't be a good idea to go out with you." - Paul
"Ok, he wasn't going to ask you anyway."
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:46 amThat's not far off. Blogster posted a link to Johnson's proposal from GT. It laid out the terms, and ended with the following, and I'm paraphrasing here, "If you would accept such an offer if extended, indicate by signing below."
