Jesse Unruh on Lobbyists:

"If you can't take their money, drink their liquor, fuck their women, and then come in here the next day and vote against them, you don't belong here."

1. That's a great quote.

Well, a bit sexist, but this old broad couldn't help laughing.

3. "Fuck *their* women" doesn't ring just a wee bit sexist to you?

Did you miss a sarcasm tag or something?

14. Are you female?

I am, and it is definitely sexist. I belong to no one and I am no one's fuck toy.

6. Molly Ivins used that quote...

I thought it was attributed to her

http://womenshistory.about.com/od/quotes/a/molly_ivins_2.htm
As they say around the Texas Legislature, if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office.

12. Yes, he was a keen observer of life.

I mean, yes, he may have referring to prostitutes, but that still doesn't excuse the typical person from referring to women as possessions.

That having been said, however, he took the colorful picture and ran with it - with a witty saying.

15. This Is One Of Those "Forest For The Trees" Moments, Eh Maat ??

Thank you for your kind response.

My 78 year old mother likes to say, "Yeah... I'm a Feminist, but I'm a Broad too!!!"

Different eras, I suppose.
