Who gave the $550,000 to Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, in her effort to start a non-profit Tea Party type effort aimed at co-opting indignation for the GOP? How can the family have any credibility without making that public disclosure?

Read the reporting, here and here. It is unseemly. It is GOP.

Or form your own opinion. But read the two items to know it is going on.

Two gifts of half a million and of $50,000, anonymously made, and Ginni Thomas declining to identify the Daddy Warbucks players in the situation. Ginni Thomas is only saying "Arf" about the Daddy identities. Doing a generic "Sandy bark" does not pass the smell test, in this instance. Orphan Annie would not be that crass. Perhaps the money came from Punjab and the Asp, as routing intermediaries, so naming names might not reach all the way to who is Daddy anyway.
