2. How's that for the height of irony and hypocrisy.
Edited on Sat Sep-22-07 12:01 PM by no_hypocrisy
Justice Thomas nevers says anything, doesn't ask any questions during oral arguments before the Court. He rarely writes for the majority, rarely writes his own opinions, and he found time to write his story for us.

A hefty advance has more persuasion that jurisprudence and the prestige of The Court.

I don't know which book is more inane: Thomas's or Jena's

3. I think that at the very least we should all
tape a pubic hair to the copy at the local library.

I think he'd like that.

4. I still blame Arlen Specter and
Joe Biden for his presence. Joe, for being a wuss, and Arlen for being an asshole and the things he said about Anita Hill.

5. If you visit my local Wal-Marts, you'll find Justice Thomas' book behind either the Coca-Cola...
or the pubic hair removal kits.

I'll be busy making that happen for a while.
