F**king CRYBABY Clarence Thomas: "There’s not much that entices about the job"
Clarence Thomas hates his job.


http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/20/clarence-thomas-hates-his-job/

Earlier this week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke at Chapman University, revealing that he doesn’t even really “like” being a Supreme Court justice:

“There’s not much that entices about the job,” Thomas said, answering questions from the public that provided a rare glimpse of the man behind the office. “There’s no money in it, no privacy, no big houses, and from an ego standpoint, it does nothing for me.”

Thomas, 59, said the position is satisfying because he feels he’s serving the public, and he’s honored by it, “but I wouldn’t say I like it.”

“I like sports,” Thomas said. “I like to drive a motor home.”

2. I am not a SC history buff, but I doubt it would be considered
radical to say he was one of the worst appointments of all time. The proof is the fact he stooped to the race card to defend himself in the Anita Hill hearings.

5. He should leave the Court then.
He's a worthless, pathetic excuse for a Supreme Court Justice. He's easily one of the worst Justices in the history of the Supreme Court.

If he doesn't like what he's doing, he should leave. Preferably after the new Democratic adminstration takes power.

21. NOT YET!!
If he was to leave the court now we would only give the squatter-in-chief another opportunity to load the court.
Let him stick around to the end of the next year. Then he can quit.

6. perhaps Hooters is more to your liking
then you can watch sports all day there and LIVE in a motor home. Plus the other "benefits" you are renowned to indulge in.

8. But he has served his masters well, poor little pip squeek!
Thurgood Marshall is my Idea of a qualified SC Justice. Smart and compassionate.

33. You do know what Thurgood told Clarence, don't you?
Thurgood Marshall allegedly told Clarence Thomas, "Boy, you aren't fit to shine my shoes."

What an insult!!!! Priceless!!

18. Awww...it's always hard to hold down a job for which you're completely unqualified
I feel for him, really. I think he'd be much happier at a Wendy's Drive-thru.

"It is my considered opinion that you should have fries with that."

At first his weird book-related comments were intriguing, now I wish he'd just shutup.
