Paula Jones’ Spokeswoman Takes New Role

Susan Carpenter McMillan, the sharp-tongued conservative activist who stepped in to spruce up Paula Corbin Jones’ public image, is bowing out as her spokeswoman.

McMillan said Thursday she will head the campaign of a conservative women’s group to export California’s chemical castration law for repeat child molesters to other states.

Jones’ appeal of a judge’s ruling throwing out her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton was McMillan’s cue to return to her work with the Women’s Coalition, which deals with family and children’s issues in California, she said.

“I’m trying to wind down from this,” McMillan said in an interview from her home in Santa Monica. “Unless it’s overturned and Paula goes to trial, there’s really nothing much more that I can do.”
