GRAPEVINE, Page 27The Great Political Bozo Face-Off
By PAUL GRAY/Reported by David Ellis
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?
-- SEXUAL VIOLENCE
WILLIAMS:
Comparing bad weather to rape: "If it's inevitable, just
relax and enjoy it."
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."
-- RESPONSE TO CRITICISM
WILLIAMS:
"There's barnyard language, and you came to the barn. It's
just a joke."
SAVAGE:
"Are you still messing with little boys?" "I'm no Barney
Frank."
-- WISDOM
WILLIAMS:
He told a group of G.O.P. women three times that it was time
for Texans to get off the "public teat."
SAVAGE:
He said of the Great Wall of China, "Just a pile of bricks
. . . We have brick walls in Chicago."
-- EXCUSES
WILLIAMS:
"I am Bubba."
SAVAGE:
"It's not easy to grow up on the streets and be nice."
