From:

What ever happened to Clayton Williams
Ten years after he ran for governor, oil’s well. So’s gas.

by CLAIRE POOLEJUNE


Quote:
When Clayton Williams ran for governor in 1990, he made an offhand remark so famous it should appear on his tombstone—though, of course, he’d never allow it. It was a rainy day in March, and the press had gathered at his ranch outside Midland to watch some cattle roping. When one of his hands mentioned to him that the reporters were getting restless, good ol’ boy Williams tried to make light of the situation by comparing bad weather to rape: “If it’s inevitable,” he said, “just relax and enjoy it.” After that comment appeared in print and went on to make national news, Williams’ twenty-point lead over Ann Richards plummeted, and she went on to beat him by a hair.

I've been afraid of saying anything around my microwave after that incident.

To this day I still don't eat toast. It also has given me an excuse to not mess with the dishwasher.

This is my absolute favorite.

Congressman Hank Johnson in 2010. This guy was reelected. I admire the admiral's ability to keep it under control without bursting out laughing.
