DescriptionPaul Mulshine:

"For as long as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been on the national scene, liberals have been taking shots at him. Cheap shots. Part of the controversy surrounding his confirmation hearing, for example, centered on allegations that Thomas had a collection of Playboy magazines.

It's shocking that an adult male reads Playboy? Not to me. I don't get it. But I must confess I didn't get it either when Anita Hill leveled those allegations that Thomas said certain things to her in private that should preclude him from serving on the high court. A few years later, the liberals were busy defending Bill Clinton on far worse charges. And unlike Clarence, Bill liked to talk with his hands.

But that was just politics. What really bothers me is when I hear critics say that Thomas is an intellectual lightweight. When I hear my liberal friends mouth this mantra, my response is always the same: Read some of his decisions."
