Virginia Thomas stepping down as head of Liberty Central
Source: Washington Post

Virginia Thomas, political activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has decided to relinquish control of Liberty Central, the conservative group she founded less than a year ago, so that the organization can escape the "distractions" of her media celebrity, a spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman, Caitlin Carroll of CRC Public Relations in Alexandria, said Monday morning that an announcement was scheduled for later in the day or Tuesday morning detailing the merger of Liberty Central with another organization and Thomas's decision to step down as chief executive.

Something's going on with Mrs. Thomas. First her demand for an apology, and now this?

6. Given she opened up one hell of a Pandora's Box...
when the whole Anita Hill-Thomas issue had receded into the background.... I can only imagine who has been "intervening" to get this insane woman off the national stage. I'm sure there is a story there....

7. I'd like to hear it, and suspect it came from The Supremes, in some way.

12. Certainly Roberts had to be getting an earful from the progressives
on the court. Her being so public after reexposing the whole Hill-THomas saga had to also be annoying some of the very RETHUGS who turned a blind eye to the whole scandal to begin with. Certainly the Thomas enablers like Hatch and Simpson (among many others) look really disgusting now to anyone paying attention.

8. Well, the bitch is fucking stupid. She could have "donated" and given.............
.........every minute of her days time to this outfit and NOBODY would have blinked an eye. Where she proved her stupidity was to HEAD an outright "fringe" RW organization. She wanted to "eat her cake" too. I think anyone with "normal" intelligence would think so too. She is either stupid, or just plain don't give a fuck, or both.

15. On Maddow's show she said that Ginni has NOT stepped down.
Edited on Mon Nov-15-10 09:46 PM by Tx4obama
And according to the quotes in this article
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45142.html
apparently she is NOT stepping down, or is she?

Excerpt:

Leonard Leo, a Liberty Central board member, said Thomas has had conversations with multiple tea party-related organizations about possible partnerships or mergers, but that no decisions have been made.

“There have been absolutely no discussions with the board about her stepping down,” stressed Leo, an executive at the conservative Federalist Society and longtime friend of Thomas and her husband.

“The bottom line is she hasn’t made any decisions about what she wants to do and I don’t think just knowing her and knowing what’s transpired over the last few months that she’s going to make any decisions based on a spat of press stories about a single phone call that she made. That’s not her personality and that’s not how she would make a business decision.”
