That was Earl Butz. Sec. of Ag under Nixon and Ford.

James Watt Interior Sec. under Reagan- Described a Special Advisory panel as "A black, a woman, two jews and a cripple."

Both got trashed.

God love him, he was a character. A friend of mine said that he had a chance encounter with Butz shortly after he left office. He told Butz that he was a democrat but he wanted to shake his hand. Butz shot back, 'It doesn't matter which party you belong to as long as you vote republican.' Said he was just as nice and friendly as he could be.
