Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose:
Two years ago today, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
Brett Kavanaugh’s reflexive defensiveness — “Do you drink too much?” in response to Senator Klobuchar’s questions about his drinking — reeks of the delusional alcoholic unwilling to admit that he has a problem, convinced that the problem is one manufactured by those who simply don’t understand or know him.
His petulant behavior—smarmy, bellicose, privileged—his refusal to answer questions, and his bald attempts to manipulate the already-farcical time restraints represent the worst of what the insularity of childhood education can provide: a world in which one can sail through without ever being questioned or checked or asked to be a half-decent person.
He is so accustomed to sitting pretty and unchallenged in all he does that he honestly and fervently believes we are stupid enough to believe that his yearbook note “Renate alumnius [sic]” is not sexually charged.
He is so arrogant that he can say, with a straight face, that being a “graduate” of a girl named Renate was not a joke among guys to make her seem loose, easy, or “slutty.”
This type of sexual shaming is the tip of the iceberg; it is a malignant tumor, not some sideshow.
Plain and simple, Brett is an unctuous ass. Watching him play the martyr while peddling horrendous theories—Clintonian revenge, e.g. — is sickening. He is lying about his drinking, just as he has lied about his credit card debts, his personal debts, his mortgage, his White House work, his connections to Trump’s lawyers, and his willingness to use illegally obtained opposition research.
If a man will lie about all that—and sit there smugly with beautifully blooming gin blossoms despite all the evidence to the contrary—why wouldn’t he lie about the ultimate act of selfishness? Why wouldn’t he lie about the ultimate act of privilege—that what’s yours is mine, no matter what you may think to the contrary? Why wouldn’t he lie about the solipsistic act of sexual assault?
I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I believe that Brett Kavanaugh is a dangerous liar.
A morally bankrupt Supreme Court is a threat to the Republic.
