Mexico Candidate: 'Woman' Favorite Animal

[CShine]

TIJUANA, Mexico - An eccentric multimillionaire running for mayor of this rough border city has apologized for saying his favorite animal is "woman." Jorge Hank Rhon, who has a private zoo with more than 20,000 animals, made the comment during an interview last week with the Mexico City newspaper El Universal.

Asked what his favorite animal was, he reportedly replied: "Woman." He later said, "I'm joking. Woman is creation's greatest creature," according to an article published in the newspaper last week.

The comment sparked a wave of criticism from members of Mexico's three major political parties, including his own, the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.

"Women should be respected by everyone, and especially by those in politics," PRI Congresswoman Maria Scherman said Wednesday on the floor of Congress, where she and other lawmakers criticized Hank Rhon's comments.
