Political Quotes

“It is very hard to debate this on the Senate floor. The reason it is hard is that when one reads what happened in Tailhook, and when one hears about the chants that Admiral Kelso allegedly heard and turned his back on, it is so vulgar I cannot bring myself to even read from the report on the Senate floor. I will not do that to the Senate. But let me say to the American people and to everyone watching on C-SPAN, because that is the where it is, it is pretty bad. In fact, it is so bad that we, the women of the Senate, do not wish to use the type of language that is described. But I am going to talk about some things. For example, pornography. Some squadron hospitality suites did feature pornography. Witnesses described various types of pornography ranging from softcore to hardcore videos and slides. A few suites simply used the Hilton Hotel's pay-per-view. However, it was openly condoned. There were other things that went on there that created an atmosphere of degradation to women, and actually degradation to all men who regard themselves as officers and gentlemen.”
