Dowd: I Did Do It (Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill and Al Gore)

[RamboLiberal]

-----

Because Poppy Bush put me on the Supreme Court after I’d been a judge for only a year, I’ll always wonder if I got the job just because of my race. I want to spare other blacks that kind of worry. That’s why I pulled the ladder up after myself — so that my brothers and sisters would have the peace of mind that comes with self-reliance.

I used to have grave reservations about working at white institutions, subject to the whims of white superiors. But when Poppy’s whim was to crown his son — one of those privileged Yale legacy types I always resented — I had to repay The Man for putting me on the court even though I was neither qualified nor honest.

So I voted to shut down the vote-counting in Florida by A. — oh, I’ll just say it: Al — because if he’d kept going he might have won. I helped swing the court in case No. 00-949, Bush v. Gore, to narrowly achieve the Bush restoration.

I know it wasn’t what my hero Atticus Finch would have done. But having the power to carjack the presidency and control the fate of the country did give me that old X-rated tingle.

Al Gore’s true claims didn’t matter in that standoff any more than Anita Hill’s true claims did during my confirmation. That’s the beautiful thing about being a conservative. We don’t push for the truth. We push to win, praise the Lord.

6. Maureen Hits a Target More Than Worthy of Her Knife

And it only took How Long?

7. Its all about selling papers... not about Art, or Truth or Remorse or anything like that... n/t

[tomreedtoon]

8. She's also stabbed Clinton, Gore, Kerry...name it.

Facility with a knife isn't hard to gain. Aim, and the wisdom of knowing where to cut, is much harder. As Bartcop says, "MoDowd...she hates everybody."

Reading her column is like watching that Vick guy fighting his dogs, and then shooting one of the dogs he sent in to fight because he didn't like him.

11. Yep. She's a Berserker, and Her Aim Could Be Better

9. Good for Dowd. The bastard helped us into the mess we are now in.

May he roast in hell with the rest of the Felonious Five.
