I apologize for the diary I posted yesterday alleging that Clarence Thomas patronized prostitutes some years ago. At the very least I should have used the word "allegedly" in the title of my diary. As I stated in my diary I would not have even bother posting it except for my anger at the hypocrisy, and the irony, with which Anthony Weiner is being hammered over his indiscretions.
My intent was to relay what the girl involved had told me about her experience. Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't, though I am inclined to believe the girl's story especially given the history of Thomas' behavior towards women. I thought I had made it clear in my diary that I did not expect anybody to accept my story at face value.
My intention was to see if anyone else knew of similar stories or rumors that might be circulating. If so then it might be worth pursuing by an investigative journalist. Otherwise, I might just as well delete my diary, forget the whole thing, and let Anthony Weiner get crucified by the media in a high-tech lynching while Clarence Thomas lords over his office and casts the deciding vote against health care reform.
