NO, dipshit, "WE" don't need to get "PASSED" it. "SHE" is "PASSED" it. YOU aren't. Tough luck.

Anita Hill Contacted By Virginia Thomas, Clarence Thomas' Wife

Anita Hill Contacted By Virginia Thomas, Clarence Thomas' Wife In a transcript of the message provided by ABC News, which said it listened to the recording, Thomas identified herself and then said, "I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day," Thomas said.

When Hill heard the voicemail, she contacted Brandeis' public safety office, which in turn informed the FBI.

In her statement, Virginia Thomas said she did not intend to offend Hill.

"I did place a call to Ms. Hill at her office extending an olive branch to her after all these years, in hopes that we could ultimately get passed (sic) what happened so long ago. That offer still stands, I would be very happy to meet and talk with her if she would be willing to do the same," Thomas said.

1. Gee....did she ask Ms. Hill over to "Have a Coke and a smile"?

:eyes:

OK, I've said it, we can all get on with our lives now.

16. ...and people say the right has a monopoly on racism...

3. That was probably the reporter's mistake -- she left a voicemail not an e-mail.

[Luminous Animal]

6. No. She left a voice mail with Anita. She issued a statement to the press.

The reporter correctly indicated "sic" in regards to idiot Ginni's error.

[gateley]

9. Ah - I missed the "sic". She either doesn't know how to use spell check or

she's as dumb as we think she is.

I just heard on the radio where Malloy was quoting some more stuff from her -- from ABC? Have to go look it up but to paraphrase (although Malloy was quoting) she was saying THEY deserved an apology from HER. I just can't get past the unmitigated gall! Twenty fucking years later? What's her agenda?

[polmaven]

11. Actually,

would spell check have caught that? I mean, "passed" is spelled correctly. That Ms. Thomas doesn't know the difference is, IMO, very telling.

[gateley]

19. You're absolutely right --

In all fairness to her, though, I've done that lots of times when I'm furiously typing -- using the wrong 'there' or 'to' when I DO know the difference. However, when I READ over it, I catch my error. If she visually proofed this and let it go, then I have to agree it's a little disconcerting that someone of her educational background doesn't know the difference.

I'm ASSUMING she's had a good education, I have no proof of that and I don't care enough to look it up. :7 :hi:

[speedoo]

4. Well, look who she married.

Such stupidity should come as no surprise.

[Mz Pip]

5. This is just weird.

Why now? What's the point? A couple too many glasses of wine?

I just can't figure out what her motivation would be to stir all of this up again.

The whole thing is just really odd to me. Asking for an apology afer nearly 20 years? I think if Ms. Hill was sorry for anything it would have come out by now.

Virginia Thomas seemed loony enough without compounding it with this. Maybe in some circles you can never be too looney.

10. The only people who need to apologize are the other women that decided not to testify.

They left Anita out there all alone.

Joe Biden's mis-handling of the confirmation hearings is something for which I will never forgive him. Also, Specter was an ass and Simpson (of the Catfood Commission) was a total absolute jackass.

[polmaven]

12. Motivation may be

to take any focus off of the recent scrutiny of a possible conflict of interest for him due to her job activity.

7. More Republican weirdness-----it keeps on going and going

I keep wondering if the worst of the right-wing insanity is past and now this!

[Gman]

8. It's the same illiterate teabagger bad grammar and spelling

what the hell do people expect from a teabagger? Sanity?

[CBGLuthier]

14. 3 more errors like that and she will have PASSED her internet literacy test

and be fully qualified to post on internet blogs.

[Brewman_Jax]

15. Apology? The only appropriate one is...

sorry the damned slacker perv was confirmed.

[deaniac21]

17. I can certainly see why the FBI was contacted!

[young_at_heart]

18. Today's paper changed 'passed' to 'past'

One more example of the liberal media's slant.

[thereismore]

20. If you want to get "passed" get a colonoscopy, bitch. nt
