Why do people suddenly step down from their positions well after their controversy news cycle is over? Perhaps we will never know, but here’s another example of this phenomenon: Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has given up control of her Teabagger group, Liberty Central (who apparently, based on that name, want liberty to be centralized, not dispersed among the people). Virginia Thomas is stepping down to get away from the “distractions” of now being a public figure who likes to call around to people her husband has sexually harassed, asking for apologies. But she is still going to be part of the group, in the “back seat.” So if you were worried that she might actually exit her conflict-of-interest position — that of a Supreme Court justice’s wife raising anonymous contributions for a group with stark positions on constitutional issues — you can rest easy. She’ll still be part of that group.
“She’ll take a back seat so that Liberty Central can continue with its mission without any of the distractions,” Carroll said. “After discussing it with the board, Mrs. Thomas determined that it was best for the organization.”
This article doesn’t mention how Thomas will fill the new spare time in her schedule, but she will probably spend it with her family — if by “spend,” you mean “leave offensive voicemails,” and if by “family,” you mean Anita Hill’s office phone. [WP]

"Where the white women at?"
Not serving as the C.E.O. of Liberty Central, apparently.
Take a back seat? That's racist!
Oh wait, Obama didn't say it. Never mind.
Lipstick onna PIG!
Driving Miss Ginni.
Clarence, Ginni and back seat mentioned together just doesn't bring up any happy images.
Could be worse; they could have said "back door".
I presumed he was trying to be both coy and anatomically correct at the same time.
Remember that Clarence is an ass man, so it's not a "fuck in a truck", per se.
She and the mister can also watch Long Dong Silver for the 400th time
The Jews run Hollywood, you know. He changed his name from Long Dong Silverstein.
Wouldn't that be North Hollywood? Not that I would know.
Ever see that "Larry Sanders" episode where Larry is explaining to headwriter Phil why he can't be such a dick to a gay co-worker?
Larry: You know who runs Hollywood, right?
Phil (tentatively): The Jews?
Larry: The gay Jews, dipshit!
The back seat – that's where you can be just as annoying but it's harder for people on the outside to see you. Plus, that horndog you married can diddle you all you want back there.
It's also the place where Pappy can reach back and backhand the shit outta ya if ya get too whiny. "Don't make me stop this car, goddamit!"
Ah, good times, good times.
Clarence's beady eyes have always given me the chills. On the other hand, it's nice to know that while Clarence Thomas hates blacks, he has a positive view of BBWs.
Damn. I'm not sure who's uglier: Clarence or Ginni. Hopefully they don't have any mirrors in the bedroom because ….shudder….
You're assuming either of them has a reflection.
Her psychiatrist makes her lay face down on the couch. But I wanna tell ya…
When she was a baby, her parents had to tie a pork chop around her neck so the dog would play with her and he was so ugly his mother used to feed him with a sling shot.
An infinity of cellulite and flaccid penis.
Who's that tranny in the photo?
Her adams apple is bigger than mine.
Virginia Thomas is Rudy Giuliani?
Correction: Clarence Thomas’ wife too insane to front for Teabagger Group, still insane enough to be a member.
Another job created! That fancy University she works for is going to have to hire an admin asst to go through Anita Hill's voice mails and delete the inappropriate, drunk dialed ones.
Good God, why is this news? This woman is the re-incarnation of Phyllis Schlafly. Who cares what she has to say.
Um I don't think they believe in reincarnation. How about reanimated zombie corpse of Phyllis Schlafy?
I meant in the metaphorical sense. Wait, they probably don't believe in those either. Ok, Zombie Phyllis it is.
Don't Christians worship a Zombie? Bruce Campbell should do a Jesus Flick.
Is she dead? I didn't hear church bells ringing or crowds in the streets cheering.
No, as Ducks says, reincarnation can't be involved, at least not if one includes a karma dimension. Because if that was the case, this pestilent suck-hag would have reappeared as Loudon Wainwright III's skunk. The one who didn't look left and didn't look right.
Sadly, Phyllis Schlafly still lives.
I guess she just LOOKS dead.
Wonketeers should not question the Comedy God's blessings.
Good Morning, Ginny Thomas, this is Mrs. Carroll at Liberty Central. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the months and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider to step down sometime and offer some frivolous explanation so what you did with that woman who did that thing with your husband won't make us look all the more crazy. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why we can't have you around. OK, have a good day.
She'll be sitting on the couch, arms crossed, frowning, staring intently at the closed door to Clarence's home office, where he is undoubtedly sitting at his desk masturbating furiously to some weird huge boober porn and DVD donkey shows.
That's "quality time with family" in the Thomas house.
fap fap fap
Weird thing is, he never climaxes unless Alito does it first.
"I CONCURRRRRRRROHHHH"
Sweet Jesus, that's funny.
So she's planning on switching to just quietly working in the organization's background without making any public appearances or actually saying anything; exactly like her husband's judicial work, then.
That is a zinger. Well said.
If liberty is dispersed amongst the people, everyone will think they deserve it. We can't have that.
That's why they're changing it from the "Bill of Rights" to the "Working List of Conditional Privileges."
That makes sense. If it's dispersed, liberty gets thinner. And some just need thicker, more luxuriant liberty than others.
Liberty in its modern sense can't exist without equality, well according to Rawls they are lexically linked.
Well, thank the gods. Meg Whitman finally got a 'do that manages to hide her forehead. Oh, wait…
Meg's forehead turned Boehner-orange during a private meeting with Justice & Mrs. Thomas, when Clarence suggested they all change into something a little more comfortable.
I knew that woman reminded me of someone. Thanks for clearing that up.
HaHa I walk by a newsstand and see Meg's big moon face on Time magazine and laaauuugh.
Virginia Thomas is not someone I want to think about. Knowing her husband's porn fetishes, you know she has a latex or leather catwoman suit in her closet, a full complement of ball gags and nipple clamps, is known for her skill at cock and ball torture and spends entirely too much time writhing around in vanilla pudding while taking it up the ass from a Shetland pony. It is posts like this that force me to think about this, and no sir, Virginia "Get on your knees and suck my latex cock while the goat rims you, Clarence" Thomas is not someone I want to think about.
Hmmm, you seem to have been doing a LOT of thinking about him already.
I want to register a formal complaint about the alt-text. I don't know when I will cease throwing up in my mouth…
Don't mind that, but now you've made me picture HIM in any kind of sex-mode, and that sausage/green pepper pizza I had for breakfast is fighting back.
Just imagine her naked except for a pair of brown socks, it will make the stress more bearable. No wait, it will still make you vomit.
Thanks. I've been eating a bit much lately and that should pretty much purge my system for days.
And, nominations for "Post of the Week" are now closed.
Well at least it is after 4 so I don't feel bad about the drink I am going to pour for myself after that visual!
I'm not so sure about their "activities" but I can almost imagine them sitting by the fire watching "Alices new Farm Friends" while munching popcorn and very matter of factly discussing technique and dimensions like some couple watching a ball game or one of the talent shows on these days. "It isn't just the peanut butter working there, I think he's really into it right hon?"
Sounds like my Monday all right.
So you hate goats?
What's with the pink version of an SS uniform? She hanging with Rich Iott too?
Bless her soul, if by "soul," you mean "festering cesspool of viciousness, turpitude and gristle."
The original Mama "gristle-y".
The "back seat." If I were to find myself at the drive-in with her, I'd search hard for some latent homosexuality lurking inside me before I'd be caught in the back seat with THAT.
Liberty Central is basically the place we'd go to get our Liberty(TM). If we ever wanted some Liberty (say, for instance, to do something) we would go to Liberty Central and ask for some Liberty (maybe a sixpack of Liberty, or, if we're feeling particularly libidinous, a kegger). Then we'd get some Liberty, but Freedom isn't free, so we'd have to actually offer Thomas something in exchange for that Liberty. What we'd have to offer is probably something like sucking Virginia Thomas' toes. In fact, that's almost certainly what we'd have to offer. So yeah, you'd go to Liberty Central (probably after work and before stopping by the grocery store) and suck Virginia Thomas' toes and she'd hand you a six pack of Liberty.
Whatever, I get my Liberty at Dollar Liberty. Everything's a dollar there.
If I suck on her fungus infected toes, will I get a lip fungus?
With your Liberty Value Club Card*, you can get 3 Liberty for the price of 1!
*requires an income of over $250,000 a year
It's probably Liberty Lite.
Any connection to Liberty University?
So that's how they came up with "Give me liberty or give me death" … if that's what it takes to get liberty, I'll choose death. Thanks.
How can Liberty Central survive the loss of its founder and CEO? This proud group traces its roots all the way back to 2009.
Actually, it traces its roots back to 0 A.D… in a manger in Bethlehem. Like all good right-wing organizations/movements, it traces its origin to the birth of the Godhead, and its charter was written in the blood of Jesus as dripped from the cross and spashed upon a book of vellum bound in a cover of silver and gold. And the words that were written spell out Christ's first and most holy commandment to mankind: "Thy shalt lower taxes and slash entitlements. Amen."
Astroturf?
Crickets chirp all day, every day in the Thomas household.
That must be Ginni Thomas' O face.
You vill apologize.
Clarence Thomas must be tormented every time he sees a picture of Anita Hill (like here in 2008 http://www.bowdoin.edu/news/events/archives/00561... and compares it to the current Mrs. Thomas.
Either that or turned on every time he watches John Lithgow in The World According to Garp.
Are you a Polar Bear??!
wow, Anita is totally hawt these days, looks like the years have been very good to her! plus she has a big brain and knows how to use it for more positive/ productive pursuits (unlike the current Mrs. Uncle Thomas, no wonder Ginny hates her!)
But it wouldn't be white pussy, my dear. That, is a MAJOR difference to some black men.
It's only white on the outside. It's the inside that counts.
I dream of making the ultimate porno movie of all time, starring Sarah Palin and 2 mules, and of course, it would be called "Two Mules for Sister Sarah."
"Two mules, one asshole"
That might be the most boring porno ever, in light of the fact that mules are sterile.
Like stuffing marshmallows in a piggy bank.
(actually, I thought mules could still get it up, just no viable seed)
Correct.
I am sterile, too, but I can still do it.
fixed, also
Me too, with help from Pfizer.
So, as long as you take your pills…..
Isn't that act called "The Wasilla Typewriter"?
I've never heard a sex act described as " Pounding on the Keys "
Take it up with the appropriate anime producers in Japan!
Anita Hill should phone this in to campus security, too, 4 teh lulz.
It's true! The Führer wears Prada!
oops – you got there first.
According to her official Liberty Central bio: "She also enjoys motor homing and watching “24″." So keep an eye out for her torturing terrorists late at night in WalMart parking lots.
Which brought to mind motor-boating, and I hate you for that.
She's going to astroturf this out to someone else.
Why isn't Fox spending a few hours discussing why she wears the flag pin on the wrong side? Whoops, never mind…
She's a secret member of the RosafarbenesSturmtruppen.
She's going to dedicate her time to cataloging Clarence's extensive pubic hair collection.
No mention of bra size?
Or penile curvature.
You can never go wrong with an Exile quotation.
Last time a saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
RIP

This really has turned into "Bizzarro United States," hasn't it? Being "intelligent" and "corrrect" is now considered arrogant and elitist, the stupid and ignorant are openly demanding equal time, hell, they are demanding, achieving, dominance, by campaigning against such arrogant, elitist values as "intelligence," "knowledge," and "charity."
End the tyranny of the competent! There's nothing wrong with being wrong! Its time for the dumbfucks to take over, its time for the wrong people, the wrong ideas, and the wrong policies! Ignorance and stupidity have been the victim of propaganda by the media, which are biased against stupid and wrong, academia is biased and against stupid and wrong, and until now, reality has been biased against stupid and wrong. Its time to end this unfair treatment of dumbfucks and crazies and fucktards.
Agreed. Which actually sounds kind of……liberal, in a way. They're just "differently abled". Yeah, that'll fuck 'em up.
I would have to say that a majority of the media have ceased discriminating against stupidity and are fully in support ignorance, if fact they wallow in it. Academia is coming along and adapting well to the new reality.
Its more that they have created a "Potemkin Village" version of academia, with their Liberty University and others.
Thomas Sowell says it's all the intellectuals' fault.
All hail the rise of the "Thoughtless Tank".
Watching Bible Spice launch her campaign bid by appearing on an erstaz "reality teevee" show where she dangles the retard in front of a grizzly bear and hearing acongressman demand energy be managed according to the Old Testament and others claim that no one should pay any taxes, ever, for the deficit reduction plan,and winning elections overwhelmingly with shit like this–has pretty much heralded the decline of the American Empire just the way those orgy/vomatorium dinners sounded the death knell for the Roman Empire.
I keep waiting for the public to get fed up, but it ain't gonna' happen, is it? They're going to get tax cuts for the wealthy because, goddamit, they could win the lottery and need them and the ploy will make as many jobs as it has for the last ten years and this country will completely be in the crapper with no FDR in sight.
Ah, shit. It's hopeless, isn't it?
The Nazis had much better propaganda. Would you rather watch naked Germans throwing javelins or Alaska Peggy Hill dislocating her shoulder firing a rifle she never touched before in her life?
They got them guys that drive around turning left all the time.
oh yes, 'Idiocracy' has come to 'Merka sooner than anticipated (I was sorta hopin' I'd be dead before the morons finally took over, c'est la vie!) here, this pretty much explains it…
"Idiocracy" – the future of human evolution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSROlfR7WTo
Sweet Jeebus I thought it was a comedy when I first saw it.
well originally it was meant to be a comedy, kinda sorta…unfortunately it's more accurate than they intended?
In a survey in my great state people were asked to rate what was important to them.
Bringing high tech industries to the community was #2
Higher education was #8
Yay, we win, break out the rat dick jerky!
Currency devaluation in 3,2,1…
LUCKY, y'all got skills, all we got here is morons! (is it IdaHo?)

Shit! Busted! Please, please don't tell Wonkette where I am. I promise I won't reach under the stall partition again.

It's not Ginny's fault if the people at Liberty Central have no sense of humor for prank phone calls – or maybe that was really her husband, otherwise known as "Scalia's Fleshlight".
"Scalia's Fleshlight"
I call band name dibs.
What has this country come to if the wife of a supreme court justice can't raise funds from organizations that might have cases before the supreme court and do a little drunk dialing of numbers she finds in her husband's old address book.
Commanism fer sure.
Is there anything stupider than using the title "CEO" for some half-assed advocacy group. Next we'll have the CEO of the local Knights of Columbus branch or CEO of the shoeshine stand in the subway.
Isn't the Pope the CEO of the Catholic Church or Barack Obama, CEO of America.
There is something that approaches "CEO of corner bar". It is the multiplying "presidents" in Hollywood. There are Presidents of Production, Presidents of Distribution, even Co-Presidents.
Try Banking, BofA has over 1000 Vice Presidents alone.
GAWD DAM! Phillip Seymour Hoffman looks like shit.
Being too insane for teabaggers is like being too pervy for wonkette.
I resemble that remark.
There is always 4chan to visit or a poop-eating militia to join.
what the heck ; There are many soldiers of the Wehrmacht that looks like her and wears the same style of uniform, er blouse.
You know your stalking addiction is out of control when you need to quit your (not a real) job in order to devote more time and energy to it.
I figure the Thomas family had signed to do an advertisement for Coke.
Godamn evil bitch cock sucker. Once she could have no effect on elections,(did she?) and it stopped being fun because people were no longer paying attention to her moronic caterwalling, She stops doing what was her god given, no mandated, vocation of heading up a group of brain dead slugs. What a turd. How can she sleep at night. Oh no she can't, that's when she calls Anita.
Is that a dress Ginny is wearing or a Halloween costume?
Justice Thomas haz a sad. His hopes of having some Liberty of his own (for sexy time, no doubt) have been dashed. She's ba-a-a-a-ck, with her drunk all day and awake all night habits.
girls just wanna have fun.
I resent it when people claim Clarence lacks intellectual legal understanding of the cases before the court, just because he doesn't ask any questions. Ever. The Mexican lady asked more questions in her first hour on the bench than he has in his entire service, if one wants to call it that, to the supremes.
He's as smart as the other justices. Why ask questions if you've made up your mind prior to anything coming before the court? Corporation? You win. Racist? You win. Pornographer? ("ugh, let me get a call from Scalia on that").
And when she sits around the house, she sits Around the House….
I want the Kool-Aid Clarence be feeding this biatch. Because my wife would be getting dosed heavy with it. Hey babe spent the day being a sexist pig looking at porn and hitting on every thing that crossed my path with anything higher than an 'A' cup. You need to call them girls to apologize to me
No worries. I'm sure Justice Thomas will recuse himself from all cases where his wife's activities may be a conflict of interest, thereby creating a slew of 4-4 decisions…..
I know nothzink!
I do not know vhy I am vearing ziss pink outfit.
I know nothzink!
Love them Stones! And, those two truly deserve each other….
She makes the best Peccary pie in all of Lompoc.
Can you imagine, a liberal SCOTUS' spouse working for ACORN?
I happen to have it on good authority that the real reason she stepped down was that someone had put a pubic hair on her gavel. A black, tightly-coiled pubic hair…
Just think Clarence can put on those elf outfits for the Holiday Season and with his banking buddies Jeff Nash & Brian Kelly who support the road show as Mr Footlong from Austin Tx to Napa Ca, the new show is appearing for L.D.Silver the second coming. bankalchemist.
