The Great Political Bozo Face-Off
</hdr>
<body>
<p>By Paul Gray/Reported by David Ellis
</p>
<p> Clayton Williams, the Republican nominee for Texas
Governor accused of sexism, and Gus Savage, the Chicago
Democratic Congressman accused of anti-Semitism are battling for
the title of most outrageous politician. How do they stack up?
</p>
<p>-- SEXUAL VIOLENCE
</p>
<p> WILLIAMS: Comparing bad weather to rape: "If it's
inevitable, just relax and enjoy it."
</p>
<p> SAVAGE: Accosting a Peace Corps worker in Zaire, according
to her: "You are my date. There are rewards to people who give
their all to the movement."
</p>
<p>-- RESPONSE TO CRITICISM
</p>
<p> WILLIAMS: "There's barnyard language, and you came to the
barn. It's just a joke."
</p>
<p> SAVAGE: "Are you still messing with little boys?" "I'm no
Barney Frank."
</p>
<p>-- WISDOM
</p>
<p> WILLIAMS: He told a group of G.O.P. women three times that
it was time for Texans to get off the "public teat."
</p>
<p> SAVAGE: He said of the Great Wall of China, "Just a pile
of bricks...We have brick walls in Chicago."
</p>
<p>-- EXCUSES
</p>
<p> WILLIAMS: "I am Bubba."
</p>
<p> SAVAGE: "It's not easy to grow up on the streets and be
nice."
