| Description | Bill Hecht, a powerhouse Washington lobbyist during the 1980s and 90s, shilled for the government of South Africa and set up trips to the country for members of Congress where they could buy diamonds at cut race prices and even score a date with South African actresses.
Hecht liked to tell the story on a trip he set up for Rep. Dan Burton, a conservative Indiana Republican known for his pursuit of the opposite sex while his wife stayed home in the Hoosier state.
Hecht arranged a date with a pretty, blonde South African actress to spend the evening with Burton but the Congressman, who has a thing about germs, went ballistic when she used her finger to stir his drink.
"He was all set to get laid and have the time of his life," Hecht bragged to his lobbyist friends in the basement bar of the Capitol Hill Club, "but he ruined it by throwing a fit when she stuck her finger in his drink." |
