What pushes the latest revelation about Clarence Thomas’s corruption from tragedy to farce is this justification from his sugar daddy Harlan Crow:
“Harlan Crow has long been passionate about the importance of quality education and giving back to those less fortunate, especially at-risk youth,” the statement said. “As part of his desire to perpetuate the American dream for all, and believing education is the great equalizer, he and his wife have supported many young Americans through scholarship and other programs at a variety of schools.”
Ah yes, we can all sympathize with the need to provide tuition for the at-risk adopted child of a Supreme Court Justice making a base salary of over $200k a year, plus the various book deals and “personal” gifts of Crow and others. How else would this poor child have gotten a quality education without the beneficence of this Republican billionaire? It’s hard to fathom.
I do wonder how much the “good” ones are partaking of these extra benefits as well…
