George H. W. Bush said that Clarence Thomas had "empathy".

[kentuck]

This jewel of a quote from Josh Marshall's blog, www.talkingpointsmemo.com

"President George H.W. Bush, upon announcing his nomination of Clarence Thomas: "He is a delightful and warm, intelligent person who has great empathy and a wonderful sense of humor."

1. Hey Poppy ask Anita Hill about Thomas' "sense of humor"

[Bozita]

2. Clarence Thomas, porn empathizer first class

[eauclaireliberal]

3. He also has pubic hair on soda cans

...that's a strange sense of empathy.

[stubtoe]

4. You don't honestly think any of the wingnuts are going to remember THAT,

do you?

Or how about GWB governing from "his gut"?

Nah, they'll conveniently forget that too.

[MurrayDelph]

5. But that's OK, because

1. He's a Republican, and
2. He was lying (which is OK when #1==TRUE)

[Enrique]

6. so did Hitler, sez Glenn Beck n/t

[Oregone]

7. Thomas hasn't even had an original thought, much less empathy

[HelenWheels]

8. He does have empathy

but only for himself.

[MotorCityMan]

9. George H. W. Bush lied...

If I remember correctly, Bush the elder also said that Thomas was the most qualified candidate for the Supreme Court vacancy. I expected a lightening bolt to strike him dead at that point.

10. He was the head of the EEOC...

wasn't he? How much experience did he need?

[JitterbugPerfume]

11. George HW Bush and Clarence Thomas

are both selfish and self centered people .
Thomas has done NOTHING on the court but be a rubber stamp Bah!

George HW Bush sired George Jr and Jeb which in a sane world would be a punishable offense

12. What do Evil Space Lizards consider "empathy"?
