Robert Ferrigno has become one of my favorite authors over the last couple of years, with his two most recent books, Prayers for the Assassin and Sins of the Assassin. Now he envisions the first meeting between President Barack Obama and Justice Clarence Thomas.

‘Mr. President?” The Secret Service officer inclined his head, but kept his posture rigid. “Justice Thomas is waiting to see you.”

“Well, don’t leave the man sitting out there, bring him in,” said President Obama. He propped his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office as the Secret Service officer ushered Justice Thomas inside. “Leave us alone, would you, Jimmy?”

As the Secret Service officer passed by him, Justice Thomas said, “How’s your boy, James?”

“He’s rejoining his unit next week, sir,” said the Secret Service officer. “Thank you again for visiting him at Walter Reed — ”

“You can leave now, Jimmy,” sad President Obama.

The Secret Service officer made eye contact with Justice Thomas, held it, then excused himself, closing the door quietly behind him.

The rest is wonderfully written stuff that illustrates teh character of the dignified Supreme Court Justice and teh self-important buffoon who would be President.

Enjoy the read.
