I just read that Justice John Paul Stevens will retire from the Supreme Court this summer. As talk turns to potential replacements, I recalled the most underrated disgusting political move of all time: George H.W. Bush appointed Clarence Thomas to fill Thurgood Marshall's seat. You couldn't throw down a bigger fuck you if you devoted your life to figuring one out.
That's like appointing Lex Luthor to replace Superman.
In semi-related news, how sorry are the Cubs? Justice Stevens actually saw Babe Ruth call his famed shot, but he'll still likely die without seeing his beloved Cubs win a World Series.
That certainly takes the sting out when I whine about the Dodgers not having been back to the WS since they won it in 1988.
