Movie Villain
I knew it was going to make for great theater.
Ford Versus Kavanaugh!
You could feel the excitement in the media. Problem being, no one was going to really listen one way or the other.
“We’ll give him a fair trial and then we’ll convict him,” Robert Redford once said as a lawyer in one of the films from the 80’s.
Grassley opened up the proceedings by calling for civility...
...then he attacked the Democrats.
The woman prosecutor they brought in was fixated on who paid the $200 for the lie detector test, implying that Ford was purchased. They needed a woman prosecutor because they were afraid that the old white dudes would be embarrassing as they tried to come up with questions. At the first break, they asked a particularly old, crusty white dude, Orrin Hatch what he thought of Dr. Ford.
He said that she was attractive.
What a dopey thing to say.
And it was as nasty as can be.
Democrats were nasty.
Republicans were brutal.
Kavanaugh was angry, angry, angry.
Dr. Ford was the sanest of them all, if you ask me.
And through it all I just kept thinking that all of it was undeniably disturbing.
Perhaps I’m just paying more attention.
Maybe the Hill-Thomas hearing was worse.
“The democrats are obstructionists,” cried Mitch McConnell...
...and that might’ve carried some weight had he not been the one responsible for not even giving Garland a hearing!!
Lot of nerve there.
Is there a way to bring the two parties together?
Ever again??
I don’t think so.
As Kavanaugh spoke I thought of the guy who fought Ralph Macchio in the Karate Kid.
I was hoping for the flying leg kick.
So, now we’ll see what happens.
Let me guess:
The Democrats will believe Dr. Ford...
...The GOP will side with Kavanaugh...
...and every day Americans will continue to suffer.
