What The Blood Clot?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been all over the airwaves hawking his new book, "My Grandfather's Son". The Washington Post was present at his book release party at Armstrong Williams' house (paid for by the Department of Education) on Capitol Hill. Thomas was rubbing shoulders with dignitaries such as the Cheneys, NAACP President Julian Bond, Chief Justice John Roberts (shake it), Justice Anton Scalia and ... Stephen A. Smith.

Stephen A. Smith? Wow. This is a stretch if Thomas is looking for some street cred. I can see it now. Smith hanging out drunk in the corner yelling at Ruth Bader Ginsburg as she cowers and looks for security. "I'm tellin' you Ruth! Isiah Thomas is innocent! A bitch is a bitch! Black or white! The Knicks are terrible HOWEVA Isiah knows what he got to do! Let the man do his thing!"

Thomas' interaction with Smith consisted of him grilling the Quite Frankly host with basketball trivia.

"Who was the Black Jesus?" Thomas asked.

Before Smith could answer, Thomas said, "Earl Monroe."

After Thomas grilled Smith on more old-school trivia, Smith finally said, "You're trying to show me that you know more about sports than I do."

Everyone knows more about sports than Stephen A. Smith.

Nice move keeping him off balance. They say the best defense is a good offense. That's why he's a Supreme Court Justice.
