Did Anita Hill cry?
Did she break down in public?

The Senate Judiciary Committee was actually speaking to Anita....and somehow, she managed to take it on the chin.

1. And she was the one being grilled but that was different


Now we have a "real lady" who should be treated with respect.

How I hate them.

2. She may not have cried but I did. I was so angry I was
crying. That was the one issue that made me extremely mad at Specter and I have never forgotten it. He and the other Repubs treated Anita Hill like dirt.

3. Funny...

...I thought I was the only one still holding a grudge from that hearing. Nice to know I'm not alone.

Cheers!

4. Remember "a little nutty, and a little slutty"?
Asshats, one and all.

5. Arlen Specter almost lost his Senate seat in 1992
for his grilling of Anita Hill. It was the only competitive race Specter has had since he was first elected in 1980.
