An Inclusive Litany

12/11/99

Ann Richards, former governor of Texas, quoted on sexual harassment concerns in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal:
The right wing has cut off the opportunities for women to get ahead by trying to kill affirmative action everywhere. And now they're trying to cut off from us sleeping around to get ahead. You know, there have been some perfectly good big salaries, big titles that have come as a consequence of little liaisons like this. And now those right-wing nuts are going to slam that door, too.
