Former girlfriend on Clarence Thomas: 'He was obsessed
with porn'

Well, that phone call to Anita Hill from Mrs. Clarence Thomas sure has pushed her husband back into the spotlight. It spurred one of his former girlfriends, Lillian McEwen, to speak out. I suspect this isn't exactly the story Ginni Thomas was looking for:

"He was obsessed with porn," she said of Thomas, who is now 63. "He would talk about what he had seen in magazines and films, if there was something worth noting."

McEwen added that she had no problem with Thomas's interests, although she found pornography to be "boring."

According to McEwen, Thomas would also tell her about women he encountered at work. He was partial to women with large breasts, she said. In an instance at work, Thomas was so impressed that he asked one woman her bra size, McEwen recalled him telling her.

Presented with some of McEwen's assertions, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Thomas was unavailable for comment.

However bizarre they may seem, McEwen's recollections resemble accounts shared by other women that swirled around the Thomas confirmation.

Keep working those phones, Mrs. Thomas.
