Chris Matthews mocked Justice Clarence Thomas Wednesday, while discussing recent remarks by former President Bill Clinton on the Bush tax cuts and Bain Capital:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know, Joe Klein, he's not Clarence Thomas imitating Scalia. He doesn't have to be a synchronized swimmer with the president.
Despite the crack that Thomas only follows Scalia, court observers hold otherwise--as notably profiled in a Jeffrey Toobin New Yorker piece last year.
