With the traditional first Monday in October start of the Supreme Court season begun, Clarence the Porn Clown Thomas’ wife, Teabaggin’ Virginia Thomas, was at loose ends with nothing to do after a busy summer spent RV’ing to all the garden spot Walmart parking lots in America. Lighting up a Virginia Slims and polishing off her fifth breakfastini, Virgina decided to start random calling women and asking them, Jake LaMotta-like, “You fuck my husband?”.
Some women were less appreciative than others:
In a voice mail message left at 7:31 a.m. on Oct. 9, a Saturday, Virginia Thomas asked her husband’s former aide-turned-adversary to make amends. Ms. Hill played the recording, from her voice mail at Brandeis University, for The New York Times.
“Good morning Anita Hill, it’s Ginni Thomas,” it said. “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband.”
Ms. Thomas went on: “So give it some thought. And certainly pray about this and hope that one day you will help us understand why you did what you did. O.K., have a good day.”
Obviously Virginia’s faux pas was in not concluding her call with “…you filthy ebony whore. Bless your heart.”
This is not to say that Clarence doesn’t deserve some kind of apology from all of us. Up until now, we always thought he was the creepiest Thomas in the household.
We stand corrected…
Also.

Last GOP cracker lady this much fun on the telephone in DeeCee was Martha Elizabeth Beall Jennings Mitchell. I wonder how long it’ll take before Clarence gets Gynnia into the looney bin too.
Of course, she could simply be getting everything in order before he resigns his SCOTUS seat-warming seat to run for Prez, as was suggested in the not-the-most-laughable Op-Ed Fred Hiatt’s published in the last year.
I think this only proves that the Teabaggers are the real big tent party. Their views run the gamut from no masturbation to decorating the work place with your pubic hair.
Is this a great country or what?
Gynnie wants to get in on some of that hot Joe Miller handcuff action. Clarence, too, for all we know.
Not to gross anyone out, but has she been fucking Dick Cheney?
Washington provides us all a lot of astounding stories; most probably deal with some of kind of lying and/or self-enrichment at others’ expense. The underlying truths are infuriating and worrisome regarding the future.
But this tale of Ginnie Thomas’ behavior makes me sick in some whole different way. It’s a whole new revelation of what base people the “conservative” movement has brought us.
Gawd what disgusting people the Thomases are.
“Teabaggin”, is that what you ride down the slippery slope to theocracy?
You know, the kind where Supreme Court Justice’s wives call people to demand that they confess and pray for forgiveness?
Or would that be a Plutocracy? Or, is some other Disney character in charge?
One thing is certain, we’ve all gone to Hell already and are living there. The resemblance to a bad cartoon is incidental.
Mountain Gorilla twitter page demands apology from Bristol Palin.
DING DING DING George Johnston wins the intertubes!
Insomnia is killing me. But it’s great to pop in here and find a new and delightful post from tBogg.
I think Anita should call the crackpot back and suggest that she get help for her drunk dialing problem.
Wow! And still two more weeks to go before the election. What more unexpected drama can we expect? The known nuts are off the wall and the known unknown nuts coming out of no where and we know that the unknown unknown nuts will be popping up at some unknown point…and all before my first cup of coffee…
They were in my neighborhood?
I wondered why there were pubic hairs on the Coke cans in my local Walmart.
The SCROTUS has always been pretty debased, but gosh, courtesy Bush 1 and Arlen Specter, we got the non talking seat warmer pubic hair perv justice AND his kkkracker jackass wife. He was also a key vote in “Election” 2000. These people are monsters, but their lousiness is minimal compared to thethoroughgoing shittiness of the people who put them where they are. BTW, no one ever said – until now – that Anita Hill ever did anything with Clarence Thomas except put up with his disgusting behavior and gross sexual harassment. He shoulda been Borked.
I saw this one today and had a tough time picking up my jaw from the floor. I mean, WTF? out of the blue you cold call Anita Hill over this? Now, after 15 years?
Why do I think the Clarences had a marital fight recently and she called him a pubic hair pervert? And now, like the good housewife, she is terribly sorry she was so mean to him and wouldn’t it be better if the bitch apologized for causing this fight between them?
I mean, like Peggy Noonan always reminds us: it is irresponsible not to speculate…
Sounds like your basic Tea Bagger couple. Spending the week in a trailer in a Wallmart parking lot, drunk dialing each other’s imagined exes to yell at them, stopping by to render a decision on the Supreme Court, etc. Typical.
Martha Mitchell was certainly the first person I thought of when I read this story.
The twittertwat under the ‘also’ is pure gold, sir.
This is what happens when you get a bunch of low-level GOP apparatchiks, also-rans, sticky-fingered carpetbaggers and flat-out whackjobs caught up in a pseudomovement that gets a metric fuckton of cash both from billionaires desperate to hang on to their tax cut and from rubes who still have a couch cushion or two that they haven’t scraped the change out of yet. Why, that Anita Hill better eat shit and fast, because if enough teabaggers win in a couple of weeks, Ginni Thomas will be… will be… a big deal… somehow… uh, hurf durf ground zero mosque obamuslim 9/11!
Whoa! I just noticed this in the call transcript: “…what you did with my husband.”
Not “to”, but “with”.
To me, this sounds like Clarence told Ginny that Evil Anita Hill had come onto him and he’d rebuffed her, hence Evil Anita’s accusations against him. However, Ginny may well suspect that Clarence really did do the nasty with Anita, and wants Anita to tell her about it. Except that Anita didn’t do anything but try to stay out of arm’s reach of Mister Grabass, as several of Ms. Hill’s co-workers testified:
Not to mention the WAPO article citing another woman who dated him for more than half a decade saying basically “Yeah, that all sounds like him”.
This is after the WAPO’s opening claim about what an “enduring mystery” it is whether Anita Hill might have just made it all up or not.
Short on time today here:
Fuck Clarence Pubic Hair Shithead Thomas.
Fuck his idiot wife.
Fuck the yankees.
“Good morning George Bush, it’s America. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my country.”
“Good morning Teabaggers, it’s America. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my country.”
“Good morning John McCain, it’s America. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my country.”
Heh, Ginny may be onto something here…
…message left at 7:31 a.m. on Oct. 9, a Saturday…
What sort of possible scenario would induce someone to call your office at 7:30 saturday morning to leave a “Hey, I’m The Victim, Here!” passive aggressive ramble over something that happened (and you only know about 2nd hand) 20+ years ago?
Okay, okay, here’s my pitch for the ABCFamily Channel special Holiday presentation:
Okay okay, so it’s kinda like a crazy mismatched buddy movie on the road, right? But with a lot of psycho-sexual tension, but totally wholesome (this is going to be on ABCFamily, afterall). Think Midnight Run meets David Lynch’s Wild At Heart meets The Long Long Trailer. Clarence as Desi, Ginny as Lucy, maybe Dick Cheney as Ethel Murtz.
They travel the country in their RV, meeting all the ©Real Amuricans and learning their ©Real Amurican stories about ©Real Amurica by day, but at night, after all the lights are out in the Walmart parking lot, the lies and recriminations and weeping come to the fore. Clarence, why don’t you come to bed? Why do you spend so much time sitting under a blanket watching tapes you hide under the drivers seat? Oh, Ginny, it’s that darn Anita Hill’s fault – she drew me into this world 20 years ago and now I can’t escape! Clarence, tomorrow morning I’m going to call that woman and give her a piece of my mind for doing this to you!
Big finale:
At dawn in the parking lot, Ginny declares her mission skyward, Clarence clutching at her knees like the Fool in King Lear…
GINNY: Together we can beat this affliction, Clarence, and maybe… maybe make ©Real Amurica possible for all!
Music swells, helicopter pan out, roll credits.
*****
Apropos of nothing, a potential comedy beat for the second act:
CLARENCE: Giiiinnyyyyy! did chew jus’ trow my box of “special” tapes out the window?
GINNY: WAAAAH!
We laugh. We cry. And, maybe… we learn to love again. Or at least fap like ©Real Amuricans. A modern classic in the waiting! Have your people call my people.
wait wait WAIT Clarence is married to a WHITE woman? Do you know how long i have tried to forget that? She may be a teabagger but she doesn’t need to remind us that she likes her teabags extra an I mean EXTRA dark.
But who among us hasn’t left a metaphorical pubic hair on the coke can of public discourse? It’s called the SOUTHERN strategery for a reason douchbags.
I’m with puravida, I think this was a misdirected robocall. Libural amuricans need to apoligize to their betters for being late on the rent and ungrateful for food stamp Amurican Processed Cheesefood. Pray on it and git back to me.
Couldn’t you at least *consider* the possibility, likelihood, even, that some of us, me in particular, read Tbogg while eating lunch?
You just know The Thomi and Antonin Scarlia have three-ways. Clar: “Gin, hon, I’m about to make a motion to dismiss my caseload.” Antonin: “I’m about to second that motion.” Gini: “The defense rests.”
Oh and T., your also-twat says so much about Clar…everyone knows Big Butt Sluts vol. 17 is the only one worth watching. Whatta loozer!
Over at Balloon Juice they’re speculating (and it would be irresponsible not to) that there are bimbo eruptions on the way. Pass the popcorn.
We should also consider that Clarence may have been crouching behind Ginny, balancing an ashtray on her alabaster junk, and “encouraging” her as she dialed Hill’s number.
“Make her apologize to Daddy! Make her apologize to daddy! Oh, yeah, make her pay-ay-ay, Jesus yes!”
Or is that gross?
That doesn’t sound like drunk dialing–it sounds like Thomas didn’t come home that (Friday) night and now the missus is calling up everyone that she thinks might be entertaining her missing husband.
Either way, it’s hysterical. The devout wife believes her husband absolutely, yet feels the need to call up everyone on Clarence’s Hotties I’d Do List at 7:30 am on a Saturday morning, when she should be eating breakfast and chuckling over Marmeduke’s latest exploit.
Breakfast is the most important cocktail of the day.
She definitely said “with.” So who is the “us” that need help understanding?
ML&J, thanks a lot. It’s gonna take a while to get that image out of my head.
A WaPo commenter suggested this is Ginny’s skeevy way of helping the Tea Party with the elections: ask the Black woman to apologize to the White woman, hence keeping racism front and center.
I had that thought too, especially since this non-story story was greeting me front and center in my Yahoo mail headlines this morning, but then thought they might not want to do that given we’re talking about a “mixed” couple, which won’t get any sympathy from the intended audience in that scenario.
Now considering we’re talking about the dumbest of the dumb though, they probably didn’t think it through that much, and that nothing becomes the “story of the day” in the public discourse without approval from the MegaMedia owners, maybe that was the plan behind the call after all. Either way, it’s still so disturbing that Clar and Gin have such powerful positions in society.
And you were just seconds away from a haiku:
F#$% pubic hair Thomas
F#$% his crazy wife Ginny
F#$% the Yanquis too
thought they might not want to do that given we’re talking about a “mixed” couple, which won’t get any sympathy from the intended audience in that scenario
My (white) stepfather, as racist (and Republican) as they come, spewed the most awful filth to me about Anita Hill during Thomas’ confirmation hearings. He was firmly in Thomas’ corner. I can’t say if it was because he’s Republican or because he’s male, but one or both of those trumped the black/white thing.
Oops, that was a reply to Bonkers @ 31.
Another site has this version with no “us”:
“So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did.”
Never happen. Martha Mitchell was (basically) telling the truth. In fact, the pyschiatric term “Martha Mitchell effect” refers to a physician diagnosing a mental illness despite the veracity of the patients statements. She was uncontrollable, so the Nixon Gang had her locked up and started talking about her drinking problem.
Sounds to me like Ginny Thomas is just a good team player, plus being the domestic ventriloquist to Clarence’s dummy. I just wonder if she, like her husband, had to first check with Scalia (Clarence’s workplace ventriloquist) to see if she could say this.
god damn I love you TBogg

I dunno…getting up early Saturday morning and polishing off 1/2 dozen double Wild Turkeys is a little much. However, if this was the result of an Friday all-nighter type bender, I think this might be doable.
Her husband’s college nickname was Cooz. Like, as in, “wanted some” of the said “cooz.” When exactly, are we supposed to imagine that ol’ Cooz was struck on the road to Damascus? Did he become less of a cooz-hound along the way?
His wife is deluded.
And as a little note to the Cat Food Commisioner: stick this in your transom, Simpson.
Yeah, this is still chilling the
secondfifth time I’ve read it. Anita Hill handled it with a lot of class, though. And, I think twenty years later, Anita Hill has a MUCH better life than does Ginny Thomas. Still, count me as one who thinks Clarence may have gotten a little too frisky with the hired help lately.Speculation is that Clarence will use the Richard Pryor defense:
SISTERS LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOU KILLED YOUR MAMA WHEN YOU’RE OUT WITH A WHITE WOMAN. YOU CAN’T LAUGH THAT SHIT OFF EITHER. YOU BE, HA, HA:”SHE’S NOT WITH ME.”
Hah! I just noted the same thing to someone else. She should have said “TO my husband” if she’s making an accusation of an offense against her husband. Also interesting to me was the quote the NYT pulled from Clarence’s book, in which he called Hill “my most traitorous adversary.” What, exactly, did she betray? He tries to claim she was part of an age-old racist ploy of reducing African-Americans to sexual terms, but was he really saying she betrayed her race? Seems more like she betrayed his faith that she would just keep her mouth shut.
Apparently it’s no longer possible to distinguish snark from reality, as “…Clarence Thomas and wife like camping out at Walmart parking lots” isn’t made up, but true.
I’m not going to read the linked article because I want to believe “breakfastini” is all TBogg.
I need to believe and can’t allow my Snark Faith to be shaken!
Yeah, that was my first thought too. Fer Gawdsake, who demands an apology from someone and claims they were “offering an olive branch”? You’d pretty much have to be drunk or stoned on something.
This is a Republican, Libertarian, Conservative trait. Can’t admit you are/were wrong, never say you are sorry, never apologize. If you wrong or hurt other people make them apologize for being in your way or being offended. See example: Dick Cheney shoots someone in the face. The injured party grovels and apologizes. See blame the liberal media for pointing out your asshole remarks. See blame just learning how to use the internet for forwarding racist emails.
Exactly!
Oh, and tomallen (from yesterday) called to say “way out of line in reasonable public discourse” to all of you (especially MLJ@26). Jebuz folks, try to show a little respect for the bought-and-paid-for-corporate-shill/whore AKA Cooz Thomas and his lusty, cracker wife.
Or just an asshole.
The hilarity of the comments on this thread is exceeded only by Tbogg’s twitter and his original post!
OT (and I never thought I’d see this):
NPR just sent Juan Williams packing, for some smack he was talking about Muslims on Loofah-Boy’s show.
Juan gets to be a full time Faux ‘ho now. I’m guessing he’ll handle this just fine – it’ll be mildly interesting (or maybe not) to see just how his buds over there at Faux spin this. You can be sure that JW will be the victim of the lieberal lamestream media, and I’m guessing some racial crap will be tossed in as well. So, y’know, just another work day at Faux.
I wonder whether Clarence and Ginny drove the Winnebago to that Koch Bros shindig where he spoke with Tony Scalia?
Who the fuck is tomallen? Some bastard brother of Macaca Allen? I have no time for demands for reasonable discourse with such dweebs.
Also, “alabaster junk” has been making me laugh all day. I think I deserve a medal or at least a gift certificate for that one.
