Ginni Thomas canceled her appearance on NPR’s and WBUR’s On Point — scheduled a week in advance — at the last minute. The interview would have lasted 20 minutes and aired nationally. Thomas’ publicist said she had a “scheduling conflict.”

“I’m horribly, horribly sorry,” the publicist said in an e-mail.

The producers “worked tirelessly” to book Thomas for a conversation about her very public involvement in the Tea Party, said John Wihbey, a producer.

But yesterday we learned that Thomas left a voice-mail message last week for Anita Hill, the Brandeis University professor, asking Hill to apologize to her husband for accusing him of sexual harassment almost 20 years ago. Hill, thinking it was a prank, forwarded the message to campus security, which turned it over to the FBI. Thomas confirmed to NPR that she left that message.

2. they like to sneak up and stab you in the back, but they can't face honest questions

Then they claim it's you doing the stabbing.

3. That's the truth! They are delusional. nt

Chickenhawk Republicons & Baggers are toxic to America.

4. “Scheduling conflict.” Suuuuuure, Ginny...

...She hadn't scheduled this to be a "have to publicly explain myself" interview. Wasn't listed on the agenda.

15. It's the latest version of "spending more time with the family"

That one was getting worn, so now we have "scheduling conflicts." In another five years, it'll be "the batteries on my Blackberry went dead."

5. The Teabag *party* has given an outlet for

extreme dolts, who otherwise would and should never be given anything but wide berth by any intelligent society.

6. Clarance must be some agitated about now.

This had to have been a unilateral decision on Ginny's part to make the call. What was she thinking? I read on another post that it was left at 7:30 in the AM. A little early in the day to be blitzed on something, no?

7. Maybe she was still drunk when she woke up.

Possibly the worst feeling in the world.

8. I am glad Anita forwarded the message. I listen to NPR a lot including

-on point-.

10. I'm sure old Clarence just thought he'd serve out the rest of his

career on the Supreme Court, maintaining a low profile while keeping his status as a darling of the right wing.

Then his "old lady had to go and open up her big mouth"! :rofl:

11. She is so jealous of the better looking Anita Hill

that she thinks she might mess herself on air if someone asks a question regarding the incident. And Anita Hill has more integrity in her sweat than Ginni Thomas has in her gross over inflated body.

12. The trial balloon made her look bad...

...and she's too rich to have to do anything she doesn't want to.
