Clarence Thomas' former lover comes at last out of the woodwork, after two decades of silence, and throws him under the bus real hard, confirming the already-confirmed stories about him asking women in the office about their breast sizes and his obsession with porn. And there's more! A whole memoir of more.
I still think the focus should be on the fact that he's an idiot.
I feel like lines like "And she is silent no more" belong more in jacket copy for Star Trek novels than in The Washington Post, but that's just me.
Anita Hill/Star Trek crossover fanfic! Go!
Wouldn't it be a bigger deal if HE wasn't silent anymore? Dude hasn't asked a question in how many years?
"On two or three occasions, she said, she brought friends to his Supreme Court chambers where they sat for long conversations"
She lost a bit of credibility there.
All these events colliding now, it is not a mistake.
But to what end? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
I think his wife has fuck you money now and this was some guilt free way for her to undermine him.
Oh, great, now Ginni Thomas is going to be on the phone inviting people to apologize all weekend.
If only.
"Clarence Thomas' former lover…"
And that's when I clicked 'Close Tab'
On the plus side, all this Clarence Thomas talk has this stuck in my head these days.
So, as I understand it, Clarence Thomas may be brought down by voicemail and a dead tree book. Would that constitute a low-tech lynching?
