Revisiting the Thomas Hill

How interesting.  Have you ever read about theTomas Hill hearing?  Remember Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill?  I vaguely remember when this was going on long time ago, but I paid little attention to it at that time.  What I find interesting is that Joe Biden did everything he could to defend Anita Hill.
Back in the day, during the 1700's and early 1800's men in our Government talked about honor, integrity, freedom, debt and other frivolous ideas that we do not pay attention too anymore. 
Now we have soap operas, and love triangles and the fraud and curroption. 
I was suprised when

BIDEN: "I think that the only reason Clarence Thomas is on the Court is because he is black. I don't believe he could have won had he been white. And the reason is, I think it was a cynical ploy by President Bush."

I am suprised that even that Biden got away with this.
