OMG John Oliver

[SpankMe]

40. If Thomas accepts...

Then Oliver will buy him a $2.4M RV and will give him $1M/yr until Thomas dies.

Thomas is 75. I can't see him living longer than 5 more years. According to the Internet, John Oliver makes $8M/yr at HBO. If Oliver can stay on at HBO for a few more years, he'll have more than enough to cover this.

Of course Thomas would never take this, even though Oliver would honor it. Thomas probably sees this as a stunt designed to make him look foolish and undignified if he took it.

It's a comedy bit, and a political statement, and aspirational offer that - if it worked - would take the most toxic, corrupt member off of the SCOTUS without impeachment, retirement or death.

Also, it's like waving a red cape in front of a bull to see what happens.
