NY Times - "Justice Thomas' wife asks Anita Hill for apology" - Crazy!

Justice Thomas's wife just gets crazier and crazier. I would have thought it was a prank since it was so inappropriate.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39750169/ns/politics-the_new_york_times


WASHINGTON — Nearly 20 years after Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during his contentious Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Justice Thomas’s wife has called Ms. Hill, seeking an apology.

In a voice mail message left at 7:31 a.m. on Oct. 9, a Saturday, Virginia Thomas asked her husband’s former aide-turned-adversary to make amends. Ms. Hill played the recording, from her voice mail at Brandeis University, for The New York Times.

“Good morning Anita Hill, it’s Ginni Thomas,” it 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.”

Ms. Thomas went on: “So give it some thought. And certainly pray about this and hope that one day you will help us understand why you did what you did. O.K., have a good day.”

6. As I thought I would, I DO agree with you.
Edited on Tue Oct-19-10 11:42 PM by Ken Burch
And seriously...what do the Thomases still HAVE to be mad with Hill about, if they ever had anything? The man was confirmed and will be on the Court 'til he dies or loses bladder control, whichever comes first. Isn't that ENOUGH?


(Btw...was "first thought that POOPED into my head" a Freudian slip? It does go nicely with "YGTBSM".

30. It's cool. I liked it.
Hope the cocktails were good. I may have a few tonight when I watch the Giants go up 3-1 on the Phillies.

8. Dumbass. Clarence owes Anita an apology.
What a sorry excuse for a Supreme Court justice. Not that there aren't several other sorry excuses ...

9. Let's review. She married Clarence Thomas. Evidence of insanity was clear at that point. nt

12. As I recall three other women also came forward in the hearing and testified
that they were also sexually harassed by Thomas. Wonder if Ginni is planning to call those women as well.

16. No. Though some were willing to testify, Biden did not call them.

13. You have to wonder what they hope to gain
by doing this now? Is she a lone crazy woman or is there something else behind it, a bigger picture?

15. Delusional thinking
it's also very aggressive.

Maybe if she keeps it up Anita can get a restraining order. Ms. Thomas needs to crawl back into that bad space where she lives and pray, for herself.

18. Is this call a hoax? If not, Ms. Thomas is a mental case.

22. She better leave well enough alone because
the atmosphere now on Capital Hill is not the same as it was under Bushies congress.
People will look at the facts more closely. Do you think they want the fact that Thomas choose to flash photocopies of his private parts around his office. A lot of the other women might have nerve enough to come forward now and I wish they would. What in the devil kind of supreme court judge do we have that gets on top of a photocopier to take pictures of his "you know what". He certainly had a captive audience for his shenanigans and knew nothing would be done to him. And then he was rewarded with this common behavior by being appointed to the supreme court. As I say she better shut up....he won't have such a receptive group of people. Sex acts like to be flaunted now.

23. Most add
have you seen the picture of Anita Hill on the home page of CNN. I bet Virginia Thomas is jealous as hell. Hill is gorgeous. Ain't saying what Thomas looks like.

I have a feeling this is going to backfire on "Ginny."

Honestly, her arrogance knows no bounds.

26. She's trying to rewrite history
like all good Repukes do. It's going on 20 years now since that debacle and for those who were too young to remember, or too lazy now to look it up, she is hoping that the fact that she is asking for an apology is proof that she deserves one.

I questioned her sanity back then for marrying that dullard and with this stunt she has confirmed that she is indeed out of her mind.
