Ending excerpts from a long post:

A Letter from Congressman Anthony Weiner
In February, 2011, armed with all these concerns, and anticipating the release of Thomas 2010 financial disclosure forms that would reveal Ginni Thomas Liberty Central income for the first time, a Congressman drafted a letter that was co-signed by 74 members of Congress, taking the issue of recusal and conflicts of interest directly to Clarence Thomas door.
[...]
Weiner followed this letter up with the Conflicted Clarence Thomas campaign, highlighting Thomas conflicts due to GinniÂs work and income, collecting signatures from citizens who shared his outrage, and making life very uncomfortable for Thomas and his die-hard supporters.
The Friday-Before-Holiday-Weekend Document Drop
At last, on Friday, May 27, just before the Memorial Day weekend, Clarence Thomas released his 2010 financial disclosure forms, and Anthony Weiner was standing by, ready to pore over them and broadcast what they revealed across all media, including Twitter.
You know what happened next. And if youÂve been living in a cave for the last week, you can read all about it here.
But notice now what you may not have noticed before. How allegations that Anthony Weiner sexually harassed a young African American woman just appeared out of the blue at the very moment when WeinerÂs campaign to discredit Clarence Thomas was peaking. Think some more about what youÂve learned that you may not know, or have forgotten, about the history of the players in this drama and their nexus with the story of the man whose name came to be synonymous with sexual harassment in the American culture 20 years ago. Think about how distracted the media have been from the story of Clarence Thomas, in spite of the efforts of Anthony Weiner to keep a spotlight on Thomas. Think of how CNN and all the other networks want to talk about allegations of sexual impropriety against Anthony Weiner, when 20 years ago their attention was focused on Thomas.
However this story ultimately resolves, and whatever we ultimately learn about the photo in question and how it ended up where it did, and why a mysterious stranger on Twitter has been stalking people for some time whose only connection is Twitter friendship with Congressman Weiner, it seems this strange conservative True Believer has been searching for dirt on Weiner and/or the most media-genic candidate to pose as a victim of WeinerÂs harassment, and timed it expertly to explode on the same day Thomas financial disclosure forms were released.
And that is why when you say Weinergate, I say Clarence Thomas.
Hmmm...
Cheers,
Scott.
