GRAPEVINE, Page 17How's That Again?
By JANICE CASTRO
As Congress wrapped up its business last week, effusive
farewells were given for Senators and Congressmen who will not
be returning to Capitol Hill. Some kudos fell a little flat.
Congressman Bill Dannemeyer, improbably lauded as "the
conscience of the House," will long be remembered for inserting
into the 1989 Congressional Record a description of homosexual
lovemaking so meanspirited that it was later excised from the
permanent text. Senator Steve Symms, praised for bravely
defending the rights of gun owners, is notable for little else.
Senator Alan Dixon was lionized as "one of the most fiercely
independent Democrats" in Congress. Funny. He is noted for being
so chummy with lobbyists that he is known around the Hill as "Al
the Pal."
