It's okay in this country to be sexist. It's certainly not okay to be racist.

President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.

I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

I think Obama was terribly sexist.

I don't consider myself a survivor; that's someone who has gone through something terrible.

the Republicans love to say that the Democratic Party is ruled by 'special interests.' But when pressed to name these 'special interests,' the usual reply is women, blacks, teachers, and unions. Those are 'special interests' to be proud of - because together they comprise the majority of Americans. What about the 'special interests' that dominate the Republican Party - the oil companies, the banks, the gun lobby, and the apostles of religious intolerance?

I didn't look very sensitive and they didn't know me very well.
