Executive summary: Congressman from California, 1970-73 Military service: USMC (1952-60); USMC Reserve (1960-83) Ultraconservative, known for his outrageous sound bites, total disregard for his mistress and illegitimate children, and especially for the one legitimate child who emulated her father's sexual indiscretions -- Mary Kay Letourneau.
In 1982 his staff issued a press release entitled "Senator Schmitz and His Committee Survive 'Attack of the Bulldykes'" after a contentious public hearing on abortion rights. The statement described attorney Gloria Allred as a "slick, butch lawyeress." Allred filed suit, and Schmitz made a rare public apology.
While teaching political science at Santa Ana College, Schmitz began a longterm extramarital affair with one of his young students, who secretly gave birth to two illegitimate children. This only became known after a court inquiry into circumstances surrounding their baby son's near-castration, ultimately ascribed as accidental. The surgeon who treated the infant claimed that a hair had been tied around the penis "in a square knot."
- "Jews are like everybody else, only more so."
