During his career he also has been accused of plagiarizing the words and phrases of other politicians and is frequently remembered as having presided over one of the most embarrassing spectacles in Senate history -- the hearings that explored sexual harassment allegations against Supreme Court nominee and later Justice Clarence Thomas.

The allegations were laughable.
