The article I read about this said Anita Hill initially thought it was a prank call and alerted the campus police, who investigated and found it really was Virginia Thomas.
Something IS weird about her making such a call at 6:30. I mean, was she up mulling over this all night, or did she just get up one fine morning 19 years later, sit there stirring her coffee and say, "Today I'm going to leave a message for that hussy." The behavior is a little bizarre.
Bizzare and very stalkerish....I mean she had to probably search for Anita Hill's phone number. She was probably up all night googling the hell out of Anita Hill.
Why did this Tea Party matriarch pick a fight over the 20 year old indisgressions of her husband?
If she promotes the tea party, she's obviously a dum dum.
Clarence would have to have married her for her . . . ?
"Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a person's sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they're taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment - just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity! - an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exultation, only on the confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. It is an act that forces them to stand naked in spirit, as well as in body, and accept their real ego as their standard of value. They will always be attracted to the person who reflects their deepest vision of themselves, the person whose surrender permits them to experience - or to fake - a sense of self-esteem .. Love is our response to our highest values - and can be nothing else."

Or could it be...it was Pre Planned
I find the timing suspect. More of an attempt to get
conservative blacks to vote Republican in the next
coming weeks.
Ginnie is a Republican - wanting to jolt the memory that is was a Republican President who nominated a Black Man to the Supreme Court, with a reminder to the blacks - it was the democrats who tried to set Thomas up, and don't forget: Black Conservatives united over the issue back then, which took a respectful look at that phenomenon so puzzling to liberals:

It seems like they've both been stewing about it lo these many years. As per the NYT, Justice Thomas referred to Ms Hill thusly:
"Justice Thomas weighed in with his own autobiography in 2007, “My Grandfather’s Son, ” referring to Ms. Hill as “my most traitorous adversary” and asserting that liberal advocacy groups stooped to “the age-old blunt instrument of accusing a black man of sexual misconduct” to block his ascent because of his conservative views."
Although, some are suggesting that it is just a publicity ploy on the part of Mrs. Thomas - an attempt to gain a bit of traction for her causes right before the election. Whatever the reason, it sure has gotten people talking

Could there be more allegations of past sexual harassment coming out in McEwen's memoir?
Quote:
Lillian McEwen, a former Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer who said she dated Clarence Thomas from 1979 through the mid-1980s, told The Washington Post in an interview that Hill's long-ago description of Thomas's behavior resonated with her. "The Clarence I know was certainly capable not only of doing the things that Anita Hill said he did, but it would be totally consistent with the way he lived his personal life then," said McEwen, who is writing her own memoir but has never before publicly discussed her relationship with Clarence Thomas.McEwen also told the Post she was not surprised that Virginia Thomas would leave Hill a message, even after all these years.
