Ginny Thomas cancels NPR at last minute..

http://hubbub.wbur.org/2010/10/20/virginia-thomas-cancels

<snip>
Ginni Thomas canceled her appearance on NPR’s and WBUR’s On Point — scheduled a week in advance — at the last minute. The interview would have lasted 20 minutes and aired nationally. Thomas’ publicist said she had a “scheduling conflict.”

“I’m horribly, horribly sorry,” the publicist said in an e-mail.

The producers “worked tirelessly” to book Thomas for a conversation about her very public involvement in the Tea Party, said John Wihbey, a producer.

But yesterday we learned that Thomas left a voice-mail message last week for Anita Hill, the Brandeis University professor, asking Hill to apologize to her husband for accusing him of sexual harassment almost 20 years ago. Hill, thinking it was a prank, forwarded the message to campus security, which turned it over to the FBI. Thomas confirmed to NPR that she left that message.

Here is a transcript of the message, first provided by ABC News, left 7:31 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 9:

Good morning, Anita Hill, it’s Ginny Thomas. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day.

2. She's horribly horribly sorry but she has an electroshock appointment that just *can't* be moved.

4. At 7:30AM in DC, she's probably downed a few Bloody Mary's already...
so drunk dialing is NOT out of the question!

6. As someone who is biking at that time in DC don't remind me...
I'd like to think the drunk driver numbers are lower in the morning.

7. That message is VERY strange. . .not just that she did that
after 20 years, but . . . the wording!

Ginny Thomas didn't say "what you did TO my husband," Or "Your false testimony about my husband,"

She said "what you did WITH my husband"

Am I the only one who see the possibility for a "double meaning" to this?

Was she crazy enough, after 20 years, to request an apology for what she considers "false testimony,"
OR was she crazy enough, after 20 years, to request an apology for what she considers "a sexual involvement WITH her husband?"

Your thoughts???

13. Lest we not forget....
little mrs. ginny is the 2nd wife of clarence. He divorced his first wife...she was Black and he didn't like being reminded of that fact. He detests Affirmative Action, but that is what has enabled him to be where he is. He is a psychological mess, imho.

I believe he hates his race.

He is now a member of Opus Dei. Figure that one out.

Why after 19 years? To remind women that they can be ridiculed and haunted by their past whenever da boyz (Rove and Murdoch) decide to do so. So women of today....don't get too uppity.

It's a Distraction, of course. But one that possibly wants to divide and conquer the Black and white women?

May ginny choke on her tea and clarence be blinded from viagra.

while her enraged husband thrashes and wails against resurrected ghosts from the past:
