Women of the House1995
Natalie Hollingsworth:
There is no such thing as a little mistake in Washington. Even a tiny little thing can be made into a great big thing. I mean, it doesn't matter that George Bush was never mystified by a supermarket scanner or that Bill Clinton's haircut never held up any airplanes. All that matters is that it's repeated over and over again until it becomes fact and/or it sells enough newspapers and the retractions are printed on page 78. You tell her, Emerson, you're a reporter.
Sissy Emerson:
It's true, look at what they did to poor old Betty Ford. For 40 years they told the world that she was a cold, brittle, humorless woman, and then on the day they buried her, they stood atop her grave and said, "Oh by the way, she was really very warm and funny."
Natalie Hollingsworth:
That was Pat Nixon.
Sissy Emerson:
Oh, what's the difference?
Natalie Hollingsworth:
The difference is Pat Nixon is the one who died and Betty Ford is the one who has the clinic where you're going.
