Episode 468 The Fall of Bob Packwood (Part 2) The Scandal Begins....(Special Series) Dole 9

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we examine the scandal that would eventually lead to Senator Bob Packwood's fall from grace. We will hear from the women involved in their long form "60 Minutes" Interview, where 10 of the accusers sat down with Morley Safer of CBS News and told their stories. Then will let you hear from the reporter who broke the story and let her tell you how she uncovered the story, how hard it actually was to get it printed, her interactions with the Senator himself, and her thoughts about modern journalism in the 1990s. Finally, we will take you live to the Senate Press room gallery where Senator Bob Packwood would attempt to take this scandal head on in December of 1992 as he fields question after question, apologizes for his behavior and frankly, accepts that his behavior had been wrong. But will it save him? As you will see, the flood waters were rising and the scandal will begin to take on a life of its own.  Questions or comments at  , [email protected] ,  https://twitter.com/randal_wallace   , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!
