Something pro Thomas talking heads need to look into

[CatWoman]

Clarence Thomas was once the head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Not only did he head a commission that was SUPPOSED to be about equal protection for ALL under the law, he held that job while denigrading the entire premise of Equal Opportunity.

Oh, one more thing -- he would never have gotten that job if is wasn't for the equal opportunity concept.

When he left that job, the EEOC was found to be so poorly mismanaged and backlogged, it had to be reorganized.

1. No Shit? I Know Squat About His Background. Just Heard People I Respect

say he was in no way stellar or Supreme Court material.

4. His academic credentials are mediocre, and that's a stretch

He owes his entire career to affirmative action and now is against it.

He was only appointed because he was black AND a RW hound dog.

There are dozens of highly qualified african american lawyers and judges who would have made superlative SCOTUS picks, but of course King George I had to have a person of color who would do his bidding.

5. Clarence T.

If I were a blk person, I would rise up in fury every time Clarence's name came up. When he was being considered, Bush 41 said, the reason he had named him was because he was the best qualified person for the job.

So, there was the Bush factor at work, & we be stuck w/ a chair warmer whose assistants write his briefs for him.

It hurts to have to think of him as one of the stupidest people in DC, when it may be he is merely one of the stupidest black persons in DC.

When Scalia belches, does Clarence agree, heartily?
