A delegate to the Republican convention from Colorado says he was date-raped when he was robbed in his hotel room Sept. 4 by someone he remembers as a -- quote -- "beautiful woman."

Denver attorney and party donor Gabriel Schwartz says he was drugged by the woman he met in a hotel bar. He says he remembers inviting her to his room but then passed out and awoke to find missing cash and jewelry, including a watch he valued at $30,000.

The 29-year-old lawyer says he was embarrassed by the incident but that he came forward and wants people to know -- quote -- "date rape happens to men, too."

Police have not made any arrests in the case.

This guy may have been sleazy, but I think there would have been a lot less sarcasm if a woman were raped. Talk about a double standard.

gee, $30,000 for a WATCH? I'm thinking of how he could have DONATED $29,990.00 to a worthy cause for the homeless in Denver and do just fine with a $10.00 watch from WalMart! LOL. Too bad he was date-raped and was robbed, BUT, so much for moral values that the republican party so feverishly tries to make it be THEIR parties values.

Is this how the GOP funraises now? Who owns a $30,000 watch?
