what's up with Clarence?

http://www.correntewire.com/why_is_clarence_thomas_supporting_rush_limbaugh_by_appearing_on_his_show_after_rush_said_troops_are_phonies


Why is Clarence Thomas supporting Rush Limbaugh by appearing on his show after Rush said troops are "phonies"?


Yep, Clarence Thomas will stop giving America the silent treatment, and go on Rush Limbaugh Monday. Even Bush flak Dana Perino is condemning Limbaugh for calling serving soldiers “phonies”, so why is a sitting Supreme Bush Court “Justice” rushing to support Limbaugh in his hour of need?

-snip-

Sadly, when Thomas furthers Big Pharma’s grotesquely Conservative buffoonery—sorry for the redundancy—he only reinforces the view the Court is yet another aspect of government that the Bush regime has trashed and delegitimized.

1. apparently he's schilling a book of how unfair he was treated by
liberals during his confirmation. BooHoo. That trumps any racial injustice he may have suffered, or witnessed.

2. Perhaps because Clarence Thomas is just about the poorest excuse for a Supreme Court Justice this

country has ever seen.
I can only assume he will soon be on Bill Orally as well.:puke:
I wonder if he too, is amazed to find out that black people use silverware when they eat.

He should have been Borked.

4. MLK told us that one day we would be able to judge someone
not by their color, but by the content of their character. Now in his upcoming book, Mr. Thomas who has remained so silent for so many years has revealed his true self for all the world to see.........there is more content in his book than there will ever be in his character.

so much vitriol and bitterness that it was actually uncomfortable to read. As with all Repukes...his problems are never his fault..but all due to those around him who are out to get him.

5. Unsurprisingly, they're friends
Thomas officiated Limbaugh's last failed marriage. Family values!

Thomas's whining is legion. He plays the poor, beleaguered conservative victim, and uses lynching metaphors to dress it up. :puke:

11. They are two sides of the same coin..or like the two faces of Janus.
Figures they would be friends..they probably sit around and commiserate about how everyone around them is out to get them.
Bet they secretly detest each other.

6. I was hoping that he'd keep his mouth wired shut, like he normally does.

8. Should Supreme Court Justices be writing and having their books published?
I don't think so!

10. The Rightwing backers and publishers could not wait to be able to use it to their own purpose.
It is ALMOST pathetic to see how easily this guy is manipulated and used by those who truly could not care one whit if he lived or died....and probably say things behind his back that would make his blood boil.
