Oddly, a few weeks ago I heard Hume ask him something along the the lines of "Since you're a personal friend of Clarence Thomas, do you think he would be able to be confirmed in the Senate today? "

Needless to say, I nearly fell out of my chair because I can not imagine the two being personal friends. Stranger still....Juan said yes, at which point Hume and the rest of the panel laughed.

Weird.

That's about all you can with Juan, laugh. Most things he says are just too outlandish or partisan to take seriously. I like it when he appears on O'Reilly in a split-screen next to Tony Snow, and Bill takes him to task for his partisanship while Tony just smiles and shakes his head in his little screen.

May sound strange, but Thomas is godfather of Williams' children. Also odd, Williams was fired from Wash.Post for sexual discrimination charges.

I think that I heard Juan say that one of them was the godfather to a child of the other. Juan has been supportatice in prior statements.

Don't forget that Rush is also a personal friend of Justice Thomas.

Could have been a joke, since Juan went to bat for Justice Thomas and wrote a book about the lynching. He is an outcast from the NAACP and other leftwing groups for it. For a socialist he has made some good stands.

Jeez, I'm stunned. Is that really true? (feeling the ground shifting here...)

Back during the Thomas confirmation hearings, when Thomas was being smeared, Juan wrote a long, impassioned essay in the Washington Post defending Thomas. It was a thing of beauty and probably helped him win confirmation.
