On today’s episode of Megyn Kelly’s Court the subject was a bizarre phone call<\/a> to Anita Hill from the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Hill received a voice mail on her office phone purporting to be from Ginny Thomas and asking that Hill apologize for “what you did with my husband.”<\/em> That’s an odd phrasing that implies they did “something”<\/em> together. Thomas also asked that Hill give a “full explanation,”<\/em> as if several days of senate confirmation hearings about pubic hairs and Long Dong Silver weren’t sufficiently detailed.<\/p>\n

Kelly and her panel took on this raging twenty year old scandal from a uniquely Fox News perspective. They didn’t address the possible motivation of Thomas reigniting this controversy after two decades. They didn’t discuss the propriety of the wife of sitting Supreme Court justice (and herself a Tea Bagging AstroTurf activist) making such a phone call in the first place. No, the issue that got Kelly fired up was that Hill had “called the police”<\/em> on Thomas.<\/p>\n

Well, as usual, Kelly is either lying or ignorant of the facts. Had she read the report that originated with ABC News she would have known that Hill “initially thought it was a prank.”<\/em> And if it was “thought the authorities should know about it.”<\/em> Hill clearly did not call the police on Thomas, she was concerned that it was somebody else. Yet Kelly’s Court was all over the phony notion that Hill had overreacted and turned Thomas in to the FBI.<\/p>\n

Kelly then concluded the segment with her “ruling”<\/em> on the case. Not surprisingly, Kelly exonerated Thomas and closed by stating, with typical Kelly indignation, that Thomas had done nothing wrong but that Hill had. This was an obvious allusion to Hill’s testimony regarding Justice Thomas’ alleged sexual harassment. So Kelly has now taken it upon herself to rule that Hill’s testimony was false despite having nothing to affirm that position.<\/p>\n

In this one segment Kelly has impugned the integrity of Hill and asserted that she committed perjury. Kelly also misstated the course of events surrounding the phone call and how the authorities were notified. Consequently, my ruling is that Kelly is disreputable and dishonest purveyor of propaganda and should not be regarded as credible in any respect. Case closed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
