VIDEO REPORT: CLARENCE THOMAS' WIFE CALLS ANITA HILL

During the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas in 1991, Anita Hill testified and accused him of sexual harassment, with graphic descriptions. Thomas was confirmed despite the claims. The story is back thanks in large part to Thomas' wife, Virginia. On Saturday, October 16th Virginia Thomas left a message on Anita Hill's answering machine. The transcript was released and based on the message conveyed by the Supreme Court Justice's wife, it was polite. The way Hill reacted to the message appears to me to be a case of 'Thou Doth protest too much.'

Here is the transcript via Jake Tapper:

“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.”

Hill then apparently took the message to the cops. The reason for bringing authorities into such a matter is curious at best. It was obviously the first time Ginny Thomas had contacted Hill, it was not threatening, and it was intended to be private. Obviously, the Justice's wife is 100% convinced of her husband's innocence. Did Hill feel "harassed" by the message? If so, it doesn't say much for her threshold when it comes to being offended.
