Watchdog Group: Clarence Thomas Engaged In “Judicial Insider Trading” To Enrich His Wife

[midnight]

While the media is focused on dirty pictures, they continue to fail to report the critical news Anthony Weiner was focused on before the scandal erupted.

Weinergate may be of great interest to his wife, political operatives like Andrew Breitbart and the beltway media, but comparatively speaking, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice who violates the law places our nation’s judicial system in serious jeopardy and makes a mockery of the words carved on the front of the Supreme Court, “Equal Justice Under The Law.”

After a week of back-to-back coverage, Anthony Weiner will now be the subject of an ethics investigation. There are calls for him to resign, even from progressive media pundits.

What happened to the story Anthony Weiner was focused on when this scandal broke? Conflicted Clarence Thomas.

1. Well, this was the point, wasn't it?

Worked beautifully here.

4. Just like Bill Clinton and Elliot Spitzer

And when you look at comprable scandals across the political aisle, the media yawns. Influence peddling by a Supreme Court Justice is much more significant - but Wieners wiener made it to "Entertainment Tonight".

8. My Sentiments Exactly

They would have done ANYTHING to cover up Clarence Thomas criminal conflict of interest and financial gain.

17. If we check Thomas' finances, we find his porn stash.

They could argue the money till the cows come home but the stash would end him.

5. thanks :)

6. Thomas was exonerated the moment Weiner admitted his guilt....

...just like Dan Rather's inexplicably poor journalism wiped away all of shrub's being AWOL from the TANG problems.

[izquierdista]

10. Oh, its explicable, all right

Conservative operatives feeding in distortions, just like throwing coins into a slot machine, every so often, they hit a jackpot.

[midnight]

13. Not in my eyes is Thomas exonerated.... But clearly protected from

having to follow the laws....

[WhiteTara]

7. Okay. Now we have the real reason for

Weinergate. No one can talk about what is real or they will have some ethical or legal problem. If they're not famous, then they get "suicided", so I guess the congressman is lucky that he only got pics of his weinie waving.

11. And WHY hasn't that asshole Thomas been impeached?

I mean, I am fucking sick of this hypocrisy.

[DavidDvorkin]

12. All the more reason for Weiner to have kept himself as clean as a whistle

His idiocy might have let Thomas escape.

[midnight]

15. Clean as a whistle brings up images of monastic life... I'm sure

we don't think any of our elected officials are of that breed.... Even the so called clergy who have gone into politics...

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Scarcely monastic

Not engaging in sexting, not sending pictures of your genitals. Not engaging in any kind of sex talk with women other than your wife.

Tha's not monastic.

[midnight]

20. That is the point I was making... Weiner did not run on Monastic values...

[DavidDvorkin]

21. Why are you even using the word "monastic"?

It has nothing to do with anything I said. It's a red herring.
