Reminds me of the time that Agriculture Secretary (Watts?) had to go because he was heard to say: “All black people want is loose shoes, a tight pxxxy, and a warm place to shxx.” My husband laughed, said, “Hey, I can go with that program.” Didn’t save the Secretary though.
James Watt Interior Sec. under Reagan- Described a Special Advisory panel as "A black, a woman, two jews and a cripple."
Both got trashed.
Watt, Reagan's Interior Secretary, on the other hand, wanted to point out the diversity of his advisory panel and said: "“I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple.”
He too was forced out.
It was Earl Butz, Gerald Ford’s Ag secretary. His son, Dave Butz, played football at Purdue where Earl was hired from. Dave was a long-time defensive tackle for the Redskins.
“All black people want is loose shoes, a tight p****, and a warm place to sh**.”
Actually, it wasn’t James Watts who said that comment, it was Gerald Ford’s Agriculture Secretary, Earl Butz. He made the remark during the height of the 1976 presidential campaign, and had to resign a few days later. Mr. Butz died on Feb 2, 2008 at the age of 98. He made a few other gaffs during his career, but nowhere near as many as Joe Biden.
