Republicans propose Clarence Thomas monument

[klook]

Just in time for Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday and the inauguration of President Barack Obama, Republicans are proposing a momument to immortalize Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. "Because," said GOP Chairman Reince Priebus, "He's probably our most prestigious Republican black guy."

Here is an artist's rendering of the proposed monument, to be erected on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

1. It is more likely to speak than the actual Justice Clarence Thomas. nt

[ErikJ]

2. Hasnt spoken in court since 2006.

13. He broke his seven year silence a couple of days ago. He mumbled something about...

"Yale" and "pubic hair".

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. So great to have his entire body of work depicted on that "monument"!

[Scuba]

4. How about a Coke can with a single vine growing from the top?

[klook]

12. Heh heh -- I'm sure admiring visitors would leave Coke cans with flowers in them

or perhaps "pubic cans" in honor of this great judge and cinema aficionado!

[Last Stand]

5. put it in the dog park.

[Happyhippychick]

6. I like it. It looks like a tombstone.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

7. They should use the real thing - frozen in plastic

It's not like he does anything on his own at the SC anyway. Hell, Scalia might find it easier to not have to explain to Thomas how to rule on cases and just write the opinions himself. That is assuming Scalia doesn't already write Thomas' opinions for himself.

8. Least Qualified Person To Ever Sit On SCOTUS.

I've got a dachshund with more language skills, and more evident legal training, than Thomas. What an embarrassment.

[Autumn]

9. I propose a coke can

that would be fitting, with a pubic hair on top.

10. moron

[Flashmann]

11. Republicans propose Clarence Thomas monument

I could've saved them some trouble,had I seen this thread 15 minutes ago.....I just flushed a monument to Thomas....

[Angry Dragon]

14. We have no money for it

[Initech]

15. It would be appropriate if the plaque said absolutely nothing.

[surrealAmerican]

16. Did he die?

... because that totally looks like a gravestone.


I guess they're no better at finding good artists than they are at finding good judges.

[Zoeisright]

17. A big steaming pile of

shit would be more appropriate.

[Bonhomme Richard]

18. Why not. My dogs leave them all over the yard. N/t

[rustydog]

19. I don"t think I am ready or America is ready for a monument

of Clarence with his head up his ass. it is a bit too disturbing.
