Bunny? We don't know). The 'manager' said he found Scalia in bed, the sheets barely mussed, in a "state of perfect repose", and there was talk of a pillow over his face. The judge pronounced death *over the telephone*, and *there was no autopsy*. <br /><br />This, for an Associate Justice of the Supremes. god knows what they would've done if it had been someone truly important lying there -- like the Director of the Texas State Fish 'n Wildlife department, or the Davy Crockett stand-in for the Fall O The Alamo reenactments, or something.<br /><br />"So, whatcha think happened?" my friend asked. <br /><br />"Oh -- Blow and Hoors," I replied.
