| #3 Wow, a bad review from Nina. Well, isn't that a shock.... The next week — three days before the Senate was to vote on Thomas's nomination — the contents of Hill's confidential sworn statement were leaked to National Public Radio's Nina Totenberg and Newsday's Timothy Phelps. Be nice, Nina. He made you famous. Why don't you be like Anita and disappear... |

| #1 I saw much of the 60 Minutes interview with Justice Thomas last night. The host - I don't recall his name - had the expectable moments of liberal smarminess, but mostly was not TOO bad, and was consistently overwhelmed by Thomas. I really didn't know much about Thomas, and kind of believed the media line that he was a conservative 'affirmative action' appointment - an underqualified intellectual mediocrity who got the job because he was the best his group had to offer (who was politically accepatable.) I can't say I know any more about his academic credentials following the interview, but it was quite clear that he is no idiot (and we know for certain there are plenty of idiots who ARE academically 'superior'.) All-in-all, I give 60 Minutes a bit of credit for airing this - I think they may have figured to catch Thomas and embarrass him, but it didn't seem to work. |
