Watched Anita Hill on Meet the Depressed and was taken back in time.
I remember watching those hearings. Back then I was NOT a political junkee but the process began.
I recall telling my husband that I believed Anita Hill, that no woman would get on a national forum like those hearings and tell a wild story about pubic hair and a coke can.
And yeah, that’s how I really felt. Now, I’m not so sure. Bearing in mind that some guy named Steele declared that Trump had prostitutes pee on a bed and that was a bizarre story as well.
But the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill story.....hmmmm.
For now I don’t believe her.
Yon reader’s input welcome. Where is Cousin Mike?
The Anita Hill fiasco was the first time I ever called Congress....I did NOT believe her, it was just too fantastical. Some comments may have been exchanged in jest, I thought, but she was making a mountain out of a molehill. I was in Human Resources at the time, and would have laughed her out of my office. (I’m female.) BUT, at the same time, I was the member of a large Board, with a former legislator. He told me his wife, Betty Roberts, was burning the faxes up between Portland, OR and DC. She was, you all probably do not know, beaten in a race for Senate by Bob Packwood, when he dropped some lie right before election day. She wanted revenge, and was working with the DEMS to get it. And, she was a big part of the “womens movement.” And, later Packwood got taken down for kissing women in elevators.
Don't analyze it too deeply.
The judge is a black conservative. She's a lying partisan hack!...that's all.
