The Thomas family

While I don't rule out a drunk dialing stunt that would put even our very own Cawacko (I didn't post that, you got the wrong guy, I was framed! Framed!) to shame, it's just as likely this woman is simply as mentally disturbed as she appears. Of course, the two are not mutually exclusive. Mental cases drunk dial too.

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 I know what it is like to be falsely accused of posting/leaving an outlandish message! This has all the makings of a classic two person class action lawsuit. You and me sister!

Ms. Hill should have written back with the following message, "I did what I did with your husband because he said you refused to do it." :)

No, they're not. It's just weirder than weird that Mrs. Thomas would drag up an incident that took place a generation ago in some misguided effort to clear her husband's record. Surely she knew her hot-button message wasn't going to fly under the radar?

I'd be a little nervous if I were Anita Hill. Mrs. Thomas sounds unstable.
 
It's funny that the Times is getting picked on. They put the story out there, but within hours it was front page news everywhere, including on Fox.

I'm sure it wasn't the effect Mrs. Thomas was hoping for....
 
I hear that Virginia Thomas, just prior to making the call, took a moment to program her VCR so she could catch the last episode of Dallas...

Seriously? Twenty years later this goof makes a call like this?

And hill, calling the cops? WTF? If this had been going on for the last nineteen years I could understand brining in law enforcement, but once in twenty? What a waste of LE resources.

Really? In this atmosphere? I'd have called them too.

The far right has gone batshit, and we have no way of knowing whether she has been on the receiving end of threats especially considering Thomas's high-profile participation in the batshit brigade itself; the teaparty movement.

She did the right thing.

If she wasn't completely three-sheets, it'd behoove her to claim she was.

Oh please, get a grip. One call in twenty years does not constitute harassment or stalking or a threat. Thomas was out of line, but Hill overreacted. I think your distaste for the Tea Party and the "right" has skewed your view of the incident.

I disagree. The call was very strange after 20 years, and in this atmosphere it's enough to make anyone with a high-profile a bit nervous.

Yeah, she should have waited only 10 years like Anita did.
