So, can the doubters now start believing Anita Hill?

There is a definite move to start believing women now, and I wonder if Biden now regrets that he didn't allow more testimony from the other women or two that had evidence against Clarence Thomas?

At least the record would look better for him if he, indeed, is thinking about running for president.

he said that he believed Anita Hill and that he's sorry "if she believes that [she wasn't treated fairly]." Meh. He's talked about how brave Hill was before, and I've heard him say that the committee treated her unfairly, but I don't think I've ever heard him say either way as to whether he really regretted not allowing more women to testify.

He better have an answer ready when someone asks why he didn't allow more women to testify, because it will resurface.
