This is perhaps what fuels my hatred of the wingnut/FOXfan/mobility scoottard species the most: They are able to actually render satire completely ineffective. That, and they totally buttmolest parody.

There's only one way that could make this <i>NOT</i> crazy and in context. That would be, we find out later that Anita sent a congratulatory gift to Clarence on the anniversary of his confirmation: a case of Cokes "decorated" appropriately and a couple of Clarence's favorite Dong videos... which he was caught pounding his gavel to.

Someone who waits quietly for twenty years, and issues stalker messages right before election time.

Doesn't Virginia Thomas know about Twitter? That way you can "reach out" to someone and have all the hangers-on know about it. And by "reach out" I mean a pre-emptive strike before the old girlfriend's memoir comes out.

That must the why she did it. Seriously, who calls up looking for an apology after nearly 20 years?

Maybe Ginnie is doing the 12-step and she thinks folks have to make amends to her and not the other way around?

Most people would be smugly satisfied with the fact that Thomas got the job despite Anita’s testimony. Nasty, nasty women.

If Justice Thomas' rulings are any guide, I'm sure there's also a message on his wife's voice mail:

<blockquote>Good morning Ginni Thomas, it's Maureen Scalia. I would love you to consider calling Anita Hill for an apology immediately. So give it no thought. And certainly pray about this. O.K., have a good day.</blockquote>

Obsessing much Virginia? Although I suppose when your husband has a collection of down-below hairs that he counts every night before going to bed just to make sure no one has stolen any of his precious pubes, I might be a little wacky too.

Well, we all knew being married to that walking cesspit of petulance, rage, hypocrisy, and false consciousness meant she had to be crazy, but boy-howdy!

Well, the Post sure doesn't b/c the first sentence in its story is "It is one of Washington's enduring mysteries." Really, WaPo? I believe that the end of that mystery was quietly written a long time ago.

Someone in the Thomas household doesn't know how to use good judgment. Just kidding, NO ONE on the Thomas household knows how to use good judgment.
