"Inflexibility is the worst human failing. You can learn to check impetuosity, overcome fear with confidence and laziness with discipline. But for rigidity of mind, there is no antidote. It carries the seeds of its own destruction." ~ Anton Myrer
What does he have to do with loose shoes, a tight pussy and warm place to shit? That is roughly a line from a certain Sam Peckinpah movie...

That's the punchline to a racist joke he told to Pat Boone, I believe, while on a airline on official business with the press around, etc.... It cost him his job as Secretary of the Interior when it got around. He was also famously upset that the Beach Boys were playing for free on the Mall in DC because he felt they represented an anti American rock & roll ethos, ffs
When that got out other members of the Reagan admin persuaded RR to very publically compliment the Beach Boys & invite them back to play free 4th of July concerts on the Mall several years running. The publicity was actually quite a boost to their dimming fortunes.
I suppose Sarah Palin would be the modern day equivalent to Jim W in many ways. He shot from the lip too.......
Hey I just checked out roadrunner's link & realized it was a different Jim Watt, sorry for the confusion lefty.
The JW in question was US Secretary of the Interior during most of Reagan's term until he was booted out for quoted "famous" punchline referring to Africa Americans on a plane full of people & press (spoken to Pat Boone of all people ), & having made too many enemies, in it's own way at the time that was happiness since he was determined to open up large parcels of protected wilderness for development & tried to weaken the endangered species laws. He vaguely resembled Mr Burns from The Simpsons..... I think his other lasting moment in the spotlight was his to-become-famous statement "Let Reagan be Reagan" that he would end his emotional speeches around the country with to get the folks on their feet & their hands into their wallets.
Reading his wiki I was reminded that his official reason to quit was "a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce by Watt in September 1983, when he mocked affirmative action by saying about a coal-leasing panel: "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent." Within weeks of making this statement, Watt submitted his resignation letter."
A real character, he would be a star on Fox today...... but I do love that punchline, tho not the set up he gave it. My apologies to all for the mini US civics lesson.
