1. Will not be tuning in. I hope they lose their shirts on this travesty of self-importance.
Oh, that the country had listened to Anita Hill. Arlen baby was front and center in the attack on Hill. I can still visualize that atrocity in my mind;s eye, and it makes me sick. A witness arrives to tell the truth to a committee and they excoriate her.

participating in that nastiness.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Hill

'Anita Faye Hill (born July 30, 1956 (1956-07-30) (age 51)) is a professor of social policy, law, and women's studies at Brandeis University at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management.....
...Doubts about her testimony were furthered by the widely publicized and later recanted claims of David Brock, who coined the phrase "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty" to describe Professor Hill.

3. So at least one of 60 Minutes' segments will be ... an adertisement ... for a book.
I was expecting to find that Uncle Tom's book was published by Simon & Schuster, owned by the same parent as CBS. But, no. It's published by Harper Collins, owned by Rupert Murdoch. I guess it amounts to about the same thing these days anyway.

4. Thomas Is Looking For Sympathy--Still
and HOW long has he been on the Highest Court of the land? The Perpetual Victim, even as he afflicts innocents he's never known and who have never done a thing except try to live in the USA.

6. Yes, in the book he says Anita Hill was a "mediocre" employee
who held a grudge against him.

7. Thanks for the warning! Now if it was Anita Hill talking about
Clarence and his 'Long Dong Silver' I'd probably would present this evening.
