[Secret Agent Man]

There are women named Dixie

[logician2u]

Many years ago, the voters in Washington state chose to elect as their governor a.woman, Dixy Lee Ray, who was a scientist, a chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and a critic of the emerging religion called “environmentalism.”

Running as a Democrat, she was more conservative than most Republicans of that era, but out of step with the Seattle Democrats who made sure her first term as governor would be her last.

It’s doubtful a woman with Dixy Lee Ray’s credentials, intelligence and skepticism of environmentalism and global warming could gain any support within today’s Democratic Party.

Dixy Lee Ray’s middle name (she had her name legally changed from Marguerite when she was 16) BTW was in honor of a relative, Robert E. Lee.

So much for diversity.
