Justice Thomas takes a bath.

I'm reading Clarence Thomas's memoir -- "My Grandfather's Son" -- and here's his description of taking a bath back in the 1950s when he lived with his grandfather (called "Daddy"):
He insisted that we bathe in what he called a "teaspoon" of water, using laundry detergent instead of soap. "Waste not, want not," he repeatedly warned us. We weren't allowed to use towels to dry ourselves, either, since Daddy thought washcloths were good enough to get us dry (as well as being easier to launder than towels). Whenever he thought we hadn't gotten ourselves clean enough, he finished the job himself, a terrifying experience that we did everything we could to avoid.

AND: Jan Crawford Greenburg interviewing Thomas.

If wanting to see you suffer is wrong, I don't want to be right.

So much pent up anger in MikeinSC.

To each his own. Too bad he's ruining it for the rest of us.

Ann,

That's a great line. You should work "want Daddy to come in and administer a terrifying experience" into an article somehow. :)

Kinda funny that the title of this post is called "Justice Thomas takes a bath". After wading through this cesspool of a comment section, I feel like I need one.
