What Took You So Long?

The L. A. Times decides (Better late than never, right?) to jump on the Bouffant bandwagon.

"I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you," she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama's "hard-left agenda."

But Thomas is no ordinary activist.

She is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and she has launched a tea-party-linked group that could test the traditional notions of political impartiality for the court.

You really have to admire people like this, who whine about "our traditions" while doing all they can to destroy any traditions that stand in the way of their obtaining more power. Hypocrisy is not easy. Watch:

Virginia Thomas has long been a passionate voice for conservative views. She has worked for former Republican Rep. Dick Armey of Texas and for the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank with strong ties to the GOP.

In 2000, while at the Heritage Foundation, she was recruiting staff for a possible George W. Bush administration as her husband was hearing the case that would decide the election. When journalists reported her work, Thomas said she saw no conflict of interest and that she rarely discussed court matters with her husband.

"We have our separate professional lives," she said at the time.

Prophet in the Wilderness UPDATE, an hr. later:
The usual gang of idiots (Decadent Easterners, mostly, who rise w/ the animals & start typing before we're even into REM.) are now on this like white on rice.

NB, morons: Two & a half wks. ago we bitched about this; it seems you all get up early merely to wiggle your thumbs in your asses, waiting for the LAT, f'rchrissakes, to point the way!! We should just quit now, & go out on top.
