That Anita Hill was paid by the GOP to make the accusations.
I know, 
Look at the times.
George Bush elder had won the presidency in a very racially-charged (hello, Willie Horton,) campaign.
And Thurgood Marshall, a black liberal, was retiring from the SC.
Bush wanted a conservative to replace him.
But all the qualified blacks were liberal.
Bush finds a borderline mediocre-to-incompetent conservative black.
Thomas' incompetency was on display big time, until Anita Hill popped up.
Then the whole proceedings devolved into "he said she said" about sex.
