Meet the OTHER Illinois GOP Senate finalist...
You already know about Alan Keyes, but do you know Andrea Barthwell?


In front of her staff, Andrea Grubb Barthwell made repeated comments about the sexual orientation of a staff member and used a kaleidoscope to make sexually offensive gestures, according to the findings of a March 19, 2003, "hostile workplace memorandum" prepared by drug policy office staff. The Associated Press obtained the memorandum.

"Dr. Barthwell made reference to this staff member sitting on men's laps. A kaleidoscope pointed upward was placed on a chair by Dr. Barthwell as the staff member was about to sit down," it said.

"Dr. Barthwell suggested that the staff member would want to cut the cake available for the gathering because the knife was 'long and hard' and he might 'enjoy handling it.' When the cake was cut, Dr. Barthwell referred to the pieces as 'most' or 'beefy' and she said to the staff member, 'I know you like it big and meaty.'"

2. Bush Admn allows hostile environment
What are we to tell our children? Why does the Bush administration allow this type of hostile, perverse activity to occur in its administration? Perhaps it reflects their values system.

Special prosecutor anyone?

5. she is a real koolaid drinker
i met some marijuana activists who tell me that she was against jailing addicts, for decriminalization of pot, had the kind of views you would expect from a doctor that specializes in addiction MEDICINE.
the job she just left is part of the war on drugs. she did a 180. the people i talked to are searching for their copies of tapes of a conference where she spoke. hope they find them. talk about your flip floppers.
