57. I resent that comparison on Anita Hill's behalf
She certainly had nothing going sexually with Justice Thomas. In no way was her behavior comparable to Monica Lewinsky's; and, Clarence Thomas was certainly no Bill Clinton.

Anita was slimed by the Republicans and, while Monica was mistreated, I believe that Starr and the FBI were the ones who really tore into Monica. Surely, everyone, including Monica, expected Clinton to deny this as 99% of men in his position would have done; and, her behavior was, excuse me, slutty.

Anita Hill stated her case against the confirmation of Clarence Thomas in a calm and dignified manner, though some of the subject matter was obscene. At no time do I ever remember her behavior as anything but ladylike. This is tantamount to comparing figs with jalapenos, IMHO, absolutley nonsense.
