6. I feel that way, too

John Danforth, who sort of sponsored Thomas, was a moderate republican who must not have known anything about this grifting clown other than his rise from poverty (via affirmative action) to success in the legal system.

Anita Hill tried to make us listen, but Joe Biden (of all people) was (I think) chair of the Judicial Committee and refused to allow the other women Hill said had had similar experiences to testify.

They kept trying to make a case that the gorgeous Hill had the hots for schlubby Thomas and this testimony was some kind of revenge. As I recall, a man who Hill *had* dated testified, and he was a hottie.

Danforth was an ordained Episcopal priest, to0, which to me ices the cake.

Arlen Specter told Hill he was going to bring perjury charges against her. I happened to attend a small gathering where Specter was present, and I asked him if we could look for those perjury charges any time soon. He walked away, the coward.
