interesting question. i think donna had a lot to do with it. and donna and rosie had a good scheme / plot and craiggers never even knew he was being played
Maybe she was the only bigshot who couldn't be accused of participating in various activities that has them paying court costs? Promotion by elimination?
Maybe the rumors about her aren't true and he thought she was best for the job? I know that was the feeling out on the field at the time - some of us were aware of the rumors, didn't believe them, and thought that she was a very good choice. Edit: oops, you didn't mention the L word rumors. I'm so used to seeing it that I somehow thought it was there.
At any rate, putting a woman in that spot was very good for appearance sake and I think he picked her because he thought she was the best. I don't see any conspiracy here. Why attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
Of course, I tried to believe the Adam and Eve thing, the ice in space thing and the Peleg thing before logic took over as well, so what do I know?
Rosie had so much crap on Craig that he knew better than to not give her the job.
Ended up biting him in the butt, anyway, thankfully, but what else could the man do? He knew full well what she could do to him if she didn't get her way.
Hell hath no fury like a woman with information that can take ya out. :D-->
Plenty of men had same info, but this dude was used to strong women and was no fool (cough cough) when it came to understanding that he better pay the piper or lose his dance card.
And of course his dance card ended up in the shredder anyway. :P-->

They picked a woman so they wouldn't have to deal with any more sexual coerciion or sexual harassment lawsuits. I don't think Donna Martindale would sue her.
Well, if not.. the least he could do is to get dressed up in AOS tights then he could look like one of the brides maids.. it is family. Have to work him in somewhere!

He didn't "pick" her.
She OUTSMARTED him.
She knew how to play the game-the lies to say, the image to
portray, the things to keep silent on.
Further, she was complicit in the evil deeds that he was
sued over.
lcm was never as smart as he thought he was (he bought into
his own hype.)
Further, put not-that-smart together with an ego that big, and
it's not hard to flatter and ingratiate your way into the
inner circle. Then, all she had to do was wait......

Knowledge is power.
Rosie knows/knew something and used this knowledge to her advantage.
One could only guess what that knowledge could be and how she used it.

Here's an unpopular suggestion:
Maybe the rumors about her aren't true and he thought she was best for the job? I know that was the feeling out on the field at the time - some of us were aware of the rumors, didn't believe them, and thought that she was a very good choice. Edit: oops, you didn't mention the L word rumors. I'm so used to seeing it that I somehow thought it was there.

JP - they aren't rumors. There have been enough credible witnesses that have posted here to settle that.

I think that the only reason Donna wouldn't sue Rozilla is because Rozilla has the goods on Donna.

J.T., just think of it as a match made in heaven. Sorry, more likely made in the other place.
