‘Year of the Woman' senators condemn sexual harassment, campaigned for Ted Kennedy
|
 [Wash Times] Sen. Patty Murray was quick to condemn Sen. Al Franken last week after he was accused of sexual harassment, but she took the opposite tack 24 years ago with another Democratic senator dogged by accusations of lecherous behavior.
She and the four other Democratic women serving in the Senate after the widely hailed 1992 "Year of the Woman" election used their newfound clout to come to the rescue of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy as reports of drunken debauchery threatened to sink his re-election bid.
At a Boston fundraiser on Nov. 15, 1993, Ms. Murray was joined by fellow Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein of California, Barbara A. Mikulski of Maryland and Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois in what marked "the first time the five senators have traveled together on behalf of a fellow senator," according an Associated Press report.
