SGirl, thanks for the opportunity to show the world this interesting info.

And JohnD, thanks for reminding us of this idiot. We should never forget!

In one of his widely-publicized missteps, Williams failed to shake Ann Richards' hand in a public debate, an act seen as uncouth. Senator John Tower had similarly refused to shake the hand of Democratic opponent Robert Krueger in a 1978 appearance but went on to win a fourth term by the narrowest of margins. Williams was not as fortunate.
Earlier, Williams made an infamous joke to reporters, likening bad weather to rape, quipping, "as long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." In addition, it has been claimed that as an undergrad at Texas A&M, he had participated in visits to the Chicken Ranch, a well-known Texas brothel in La Grange. His sense of humor was again demonstrated when he urged Hispanics to support his candidacy because he met Modesta in a Mexican restaurant. As a result of his reported comments, Williams was occasionally parodied, such as in the mock political ad, "Satan Williams," which appeared on Dallas/Fort Worth public television during the 1990 campaign season.
