Dear Ginny Thomas,

Dear Ginny Thomas,

When one states ...extending an olive branch to her after all these years..., it's usually because the person extending the branch did something that needed apologizing for. You extend the "olive branch" to Anita Hill by leaving her a voicemail that said:

...I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full

Yes. That. What you said.

I, personally, think Ginny Thomas simple lost her mind for a few minutes, but if indeed she in making some kind of weird political point... well, she still needs to grow up. And preferably shut up, on other people's voicemail, at least. :P

Well said!

The timing of this really confuses me. This is the sort of thing (either ACTUALLY extending an olive branch, or demanding an apology, or, extending an olive branch by being willing to accept an apology that had been offered earlier, but you refused to accept (which is NOT the case here)) happens either soon after the initial event, right after some significant, life changing event (going into rehab, starting on a 12 step program, almost dieing in a car accident) or when someone is near death. None of these seem to be the case here.

I'm also confused about the phrasing: "... what you did WITH my husband" (emphasis mine) I would expect her to say "what you did TO my husband" It almost sounds like she's demanding an apology for having an affair with her husband, which I'm pretty sure didn't happen, and no one thinks happened...

so, yeah, a big HUH? from me.

I was commenting elsewhere, that another angle could be that Ginny Thomas now has evidence of other harassment or cheating from Clarence Thomas, and is clinging to the hopes that Anita Hill can give her an explanation of why she lied. Because if Anita Hill lied, the other woman is lying, right?

Or it might not have to do anything with that. But whatever this is about, it's all about Ginny Thomas. When it really isn't.
