I've kept this to myself for decades. No more. I see no reason why Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez should be the only ones who get rich. So here goes.
In 1983 (It could have been 1982 or 1985 or 1977 or it might have been last week), I was at a party at Yale. It could have been Moravian College or St. Charles Borneo Seminary. I'm no longer sure. I do know I was totally plastered. Come to think of it, I may have been sober. Anyway, someone pulled out a fake penis, and next thing you know, Brett Kavanaugh was sticking his sausage right up my nostrils. Hokie Joe was laughing the whole time, too. It's a good thing I have a big schnozz and Brett has a tiny peeper.
Seven people were with me, and each has sworn he won't back me up.
My book will be out in November.
Updated 9 am: What is happening to Kavanaugh is Sexual McCarthyism!
Like many things, it began on college campuses. The weaponization of sexual assault allegations is made possible because the far left has deemed due process of law to be inconvenient when it comes to sexual assault. This, coupled with the mantra "the victim should always be believed," (and yes, that is an actual standard being pushed), and you can see how this "victim's" allegations make perfect sense to some folks.
Both the far left and the far right want to take some of our rights away. They just differ on which ones.

Good satire! Just shows how absurd the Kavanaugh side show has become. There are sinister forces behind this smear job. One can only hope they are exposed. A good man's reputation is being trashed by the left.
If I can get a book deal out of it, I will tell all!
How do I know the good man's reputation is being trashed? He was picked by a man who was said "Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything". When any woman finally comes forward, she has to endure a boat load of verbal abuse.
You beat me to this, I always thought about that when these things cropped up. I
This is your shame and the shame of many old white men. You do not understand the movement. It is time for women to speak up. You are no friend of women. You regularly attack them. You obviously have issues with women of strength.
You cannot control all women with your bully tactics.
Old white men invented tampons. You're welcome ladies.
Tell me. Is the reason that your story is here is because the Times, New Yorker and Star rejected it? Even Avenatti rejected it? You must be hurting. The Argentina Senate did call. They want you to testify. Not on the subject at hand. How to fix a broken toilet?
^^^truth! Bernie should be ashamed of himself. Attacking women is what he likes to do. He is no defender of rights. This is at least the second time he has done something like this in recent months and it is not funny! True colors shine through clearly!
I was diddled by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I've been chronically vomiting for over 30 years. Believe us victims. The nausea is real.
Take the time and watch this video -- says it all;

I suspect we are nearing the end of the death by accusation hysteria. It is now down to, I had a dream and was molested by Bernie Ohare, really a nightmare. And now he should forever be banned from all human endevours. It is time to put a limitation on old accusations. put people under oath and produce evidence and prosecute false accusations. Also lets look at real actions not something someone said or thought.
"McCarthyism" is defined as the use of tactics involving personal attacks on individuals by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges; broadly: defamation of character or reputation through such tactics.
What's the difference between what was done by Senator McCarthy and what is being done today to Judge Kavanaugh by the Democrats ?
6:44 McCarthy paid a political price. Cavanaugh won't. He will be rewarded with a lifetime appointment to the US Supreme Court. He was appointed by a man, Trump, who made his name by "personal attacks on individuals by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges".
You ought to rename this blog "Lehigh Valley Resistance, Regurgitate, And Rubbish" (LV3R). Such a group of critical TDS psychosis patients on this blog is only rivaled by the swamp in Washington, California, and NYC.
What is happening to Kavanaugh is nothing less than sexual McCarthyism.
What kind of trash bag writes stuff about themselves in their yearbook?
Carl, you are equating Kavanaugh and Trump. I know many fine people who support Trump or who have been chosen by Trump. What's going on here,and it is being fueled by the media as well, is absolutely ridiculous. I hope Justice Kavanaugh remembers the importance of the presumption of innocence when he is finally confirmed.
Though most Americans may disagree with Kavanaugh's views, I am sure they are disgusted by the rush to judgment by shrieking partisans who now equate a mere accusation, made 36 years after the fact, with truth.
Bernie, we are in agreement that leaking these allegations against Ford's will was a shameful act.
You were in the highly unfair situation of being falsely accused by someone who by all appearances is mentally ill. You sued and won but your reputation was injured.
Might your experience with a false accusation be influencing your views on this matter? Might you be generalizing based on one experience with one unstable individual?
Earlier you wrote that "people who wait 36 years to make accusations are almost always liars." Since you're an evidence-based guy, what evidence do you have in support of this statement?
These allegations might be bogus, or they might be credible. I'm inclined to hear from the accuser(s) before forming an opinion. I can think of far easier ways to make money than enduring a) death threats b) family relocation and c) public grilling about one's high school sex life.
Somehow seems appropriate...

This tragedy that became a farce is now a crime, the crime of purposeful defamation of an innocent man. The Democrats are so determined to prevent Kavanaugh from becoming a justice on the Supreme Court, they have exposed themselves as the lowlife cheaters they are, without shame or any sense of decency.
When they do not win, they will do anything to undo their loss. This is what has motivated the Democrats since the 2016 election. From the moment Trump won, they set about their plans to remove him from office by any means necessary. The cabal that put this plan into motion cares nothing for the law, the Constitution, or the people they set out to ruin as they have Brett Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh is a turd whose only qualification for the SC is being a lapdog for the Federalist Society who have paid a TON of money in donations to push their agenda at the expense of what's left of the Republican party for the next decade or more...
Despite misguided claims, there has been no "Mandate" election result (Double digit % popular, plus a 50+ electoral victory) since Reagan in '84. There is no overall need, want or desire for hard right or far left policies, agendas and programs, yet both parties and their idiot cheerleaders live for nothing more than force feeding their ass-hat ideologies down the throats of all Americans.
Kavanaugh will most likely be confirmed despite only 40% approval rating which is in line with Trump's...

Why are Republicans signing onto this Kamikaze mission? November is already looking bleak for Republicans with independent voters...
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/independent-voters-a-major-headache-for-the-gop-as-midterm-elections-loom
Democrats are going to beat Republicans for multiple election cycles with this stick and to compound matters, Republicans have not in any way shape or form managed to create any meaningful outreach or in roads for women or minority voters. They are far to reliant on aging white baby boomers, who unfortunately have a limited shelf life and who themselves will soon to be increasingly leaning on medicaid and social security programs they've loved to rail against.
"When they do not win, they will do anything to undo their loss. This is what has motivated the Democrats since the 2016 election. From the moment Trump won, they set about their plans to remove him from office by any means necessary. "
And Republicans and the Tea Party rolled out the red carpet for Obama?
Stop being so naive and/or dishonest with yourself. Its sadly what American politics is these days and we are all to blame, its zero sum, party over country, rather see the other side lose than both sides win.
BOTH sides have their share of pin heads and losers cheering for them, and more sadly actually representing them in government.
We need more people to wake the f*#k up in this country and ignore the skidmarks of society on the left and the right.
10:21, I disagree with Kavanaugh’s views too. But I also disagree with your assessment of him. He is extremely knowledgeable and well read. He is highly qualified. I understand and can respect people who disagree withhis views who will vote against him. But I have no respect for the McCarthy tactics being employed. The media is at fault here, too. It has breathlessly joined in the bashing. After all, sex sells. But the fact is that a person who waits 36 years to make her accusations, and unleashes them just as he is about to be confirmed, is unworthy of belief. Yes, women are often victimized by predatory men. But men are also victimized by obviously false accusations that are treated as Gospel.
The Martin Luther King "I have a dream" speech, was spoken into microphones paid for by Bill Cosby. It took 30 women and many years to destroy the Cosby legacy, but they finally got him and his kids.
I don't know how many women it will take to get Kavanaugh but it's never a difficulty to find them. Look how many serial killers get married in jail.
Anyone with money can purchase these take-down services. It's likely the guy selling 3-d gun plans under the guise of free speech was just taken down by such services.
If I'm Kavanaugh, and innocent, I demand an independent investigation which proves that accusations are lies.
If there's any chance they are valid, I'd do what he's doing right nos.
Canary, my own views have certainly been influenced by what happened to me. I was hauled in front of a judge seven times by a woman who kept adding things to her original accusations. To this day, I am leery of speaking to a woman privately unless I really know her. Despite winning at every level, there are those who still choose to believe these false reports. At the courthouse, one department head called me into her office and asked me if the women who work there should be concerned. It was a humiliating experience, and unlike Kavanaugh, I’m no saint.
As for my claim that people who wait 36 years to make these accusations being liars, my choice of words is poor. I believe it is more accurate to say they are mistaken. My basis for making this statement is that numerous studies show that, over time, the video camera in our brains distorts what actually happened into something that sometimes bears little resemblance to reality. This is called confabulation. Numerous studies also reveal that, contrary to what you might think, eye witness testimony is actually the worst evidence of what happened.
I can put this all together for you but it would take time. Someone said here that only a very small percentage of rape claims are false. Ibelieve that is true when we are talking about the immediate past. But so far as I know, there are no studies evaluating the truth of claims made decades after the fact. I do know that almost every civilization attaches little weight to accusations made decades after an act. That is why we have statutes of limitation and repose.
Take a look at the 80 yo priest at OLPH. He has been removed from the ministry based on the accusations of an 80 yo woman about a incident 40 years ago. This priest believes he has been confused with another who was a predator. I do not think this woman lied. She confabulated.
I this case, making these accusations public in the 11th hour is a disgusting display of partisanship.
If I'm Kavanaugh, and innocent, I demand an independent investigation which proves that accusations are lies.”
Translation - Let’s delay this until we have a Senate who refuses to confirm.
A highly-accomplished judge with an impeccable record was forced to go on national TV last night and deny unsubstantiated accusations he ran a gang rape club while in college.
The Democrats have gone full-bore criminally insane and it's time to put the party out of it's misery. You can do that by voting Republican on November 6th.
"making these accusations public in the 11th hour is a disgusting display of partisanship."
It's more of a display of the services provided to those that can afford them.
The service providers care nothing of partisanship or criminality as shown when Harvey Weinstein hired Black Cube to discredit his victims.
What you're seeing is a product that can be purchased.
Anyone who reads this blog even casually should know I oppose Donald Trump. I also disagree with his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh bc i also disagree with most of his views. But he is impeccably qualified to serve and I discount these 11th hour attacks on his integrity as a sad display of sexual McCarthyism by partisans who exalt winning over basic decency. They rightly condemn Trump's amorality but have shown they are just as bad.
The reason this is coming out now is because up until this point. Women who were sexually assaulted, were publicly embarrassed for coming forward painted as whores and told they were asking for it.: See Anita Hill. The Dam is simply breaking and everything. That has been coverup and suppressed via social pressure is coming out into the open.
"The reason this is coming out now is because up until this point."
Hmmm...I didn't realize Juanita Broaddrrick, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Wiley, etc. didn't have more of an impact.
But I guess some folks didn't take THOSE accusations seriously and are only now catching up.
Maybe we need to update James Carville's quip.
"Drag a hundred dollar bill and a book contract through a Starbucks along a pussy hat protest route and there's no telling who you'll get."

Chuck Schumer, New York.
Dick Durbin, Illinois.
Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island.
Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota.
Al Franken, Minnesota.
Chris Coons, Delaware.
More items...
I see the google algorithms are working full bore on this issue to help the Democrats...... Try it yourself.. don't take my word....
This is a significant miscalculation by the left. This attack on Kavanaugh is not resonating well with independents, and its actually raising republican enthusiasm. It's a rally point now.
I remember as a wee bit infant of two days old while traveling with Ringling Barnuman Circus. My mother was sideshow attraction for a burlesque show for ugly women. Somehow I ended up in the basement of the Vatican were I had seen more ugly people. The pope than was one I am sure and they were killing, raping and drinking the blood of other infants.
Later on in life my mother was a sideshow act on the big island and I became America's President. My plans to destroy and dismantle were going along well until the real ringmaster showed up on the seen. Now I am back to a grumbling groveling imp of the soiled underwear underworld.
Woohoo...that then makes him and "alumnius"? what the hell kind of club boy posts he is a "Renate Alumius" in his yearbook from a relegious school? Sounds like this 17 year old so-called angel protended to be a ladies man. Never question the morality of 100 kegger.
the real issue is, we should only allow one privileged white preppy from the same perverted private school on the "supreme" court.
That’s not the “real” issue. He is a conservative and that’s what bothers you. I see nothing in the Constitution that bars white people from serving on the nation’s highest court, even if they are wealthy. I see nothing that makes Georgetown Prep any more “perverted” than any other high school.
democrats will ruin this country the way they do business but the republicans are not much better a good business leader like president Trump is not getting any help from the vast number politicians the swamp is really a cesspool life time politicians and most government workers must go we must start over with term limits and new political parties the parties are corrupt and the workers are doing a poor job the deep state must be put to sleep
"when you are famous, they let you grab them by the pussy. They let you do anything". In the full context it says more about woman than it does about Trump.

Bernie, you are so right, even tho I often see you as far left. What I am trying to say is this sums up what is going on perfectly. Right or left we should all be scared.
The difference between the democrats and Mccarthy is that Mc Carthy was correct, the communists have infiltrated and taken over the education system, the media, hollywood, and now the democratic party.
Thousands of comedians unemployed and BO is attempting to be funny. Hang on to the day job, pathetic joker
Bernie,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, whoever leaked Ford's letter -- which she had requested to keep confidential -- did a horrible thing. Most likely it was a Dem.
I wonder if the leaker felt justified because of refusal by Repubs to hold a hearing on Merrick Garland. Did someone conclude that one dirty move justifies another?
Now commentators are wondering: in the unlikely event that Dems take the Senate, might they refuse to confirm any Trump appointee for two years?
I miss John McCain already.
It is becoming more and more evident to most Americans that the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh being exposed as thin set-ups, and Blasey Ford still raising ridiculous demands with regards to her appearance in front of Congress on on Thursday is quite doubtful.
On Thursday, Americans will see this genuine man testifying in front of Congress that these alleged acts could never have been performed by him, and the evidence supports him. The victimization of him and his family by the zealots in the Democratic party will be evident, and this ginned up "scandal" will receive massive blowback from Americans not consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The appropriate response will occur on election day when voters enter the polling booths and vote.
Old claims? Sexual McCarthyism? It's black and white folks.
Old claims brought down Bill Cosby, he got 3 to 10 years in prison....no outrage about old claims. ---black
Old claims being used to do the same thing against Kavanaugh, prison isn't even part of the conversation.---white

Keith Ellison?
Judge Kavanaugh will be an excellent Supreme Court Judge. He is being attacked by the liberal democrats only because he was nominated by President Trump and they still cannot accept the fact that Trump is President. Where were these so-called accusations when Judge Kavanaugh was named to the Appellate Court for Washington DC? That is when any accusations should have surfaced. Because they did not, they are more fake news dreamed up by sore losers.

Keith Ellison?
Karen Monahan was not Ellison’s wife, the issue had nothing to do with “Sharia law,” and the picture was not one of Monahan but rather an image associated with the mid-1980s case of Tracey Thurman (who sued a city police department for failing to protect her from her abusive husband) and the 1989 TV movie based on it.
But hey, the whole story was meant to mislead you and muddy the waters.

"This is a significant miscalculation by the left. This attack on Kavanaugh is not resonating well with independents, and its actually raising republican enthusiasm. It's a rally point now."
It's not a miscalculation, it's the result of a deal made between Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumer agreed to approve without question all of Trump Federal Court appointees for this shit show with Kavanaugh.
1 in 7 federal judges are now Trump judges the most ever at this point in a presidential term.

Been shopping at Non Sequiturs R Us again? Or maybe you stumbled next door to the Red Herring Shoppe. Your response is so nonsensical I'd have to see your receipt.
Some of the statements by Democrats not just resemble McCarthyism, they resemble the kind of Stalinist show trials you saw in the Soviet Union, that merely making an accusation is enough if it’s in the greater interests of the party and the state
Bernie is right. These women want attention and they also are democrats. People are responsible for their actions when they get sloppy drunk and that includes women. This is a democrat smear campaign against another white man. We can make a difference on election day. Write in Donald Trump if the choices you have are unacceptable. We can fight back.

Well now Bernie, you can see most of your like minded fellows are Trumpers. I doubt any of you would think to hold judgement on this until an actual FBI investigation was done. If nothing turns up shame on the accusers, but if it does shame on all of you and the crypt keeper Republicans on the judiciary committee. Of course if the FBI does find evidence of these allegations to be true you good ole boys will scream "deep state!" Including you Bernie??
Mr. O'Hare since you continue to attack and demean the female victims of sexual abuse maybe you could answer a question. Were you or were you not in the bathroom of Tricia Mezzacappa?
Bernie is innocent with Tricia M,guilty of protecting his cronies (One crony that is a Judge=fixed an All Star Vote for his Son and utizes an Irish surname and he is not Irish).

Robert Trotner, You think? Thinking is not exactly your strong suit.
Huntress, Do me a favor and do not lump me in with Trumpers. Lump me in with those who believe in silly things like due process, the presumption of innocence and who does not automatically believe all accusations of sexual misconduct. Kavana deal to me. ugh is NOT a person who I want in the Supreme Court. But if in chasing the devil, you chop down all the trees in the forest to get him, where do you hide when he turns on you? What you and the left are actually advocating is the wholesale abandonment of some principles that matter a great deal to me.
Huntress, Although I am ornery, I welcome comments from people who disagree with me, and I get plenty of them. Rs often comment here. It is important to hear from all sides.
Kavanaugh isn't going to make it. The poor polling #'s and the smoke of these multiple allegations is going to make it too easy for Flake, Collins and/or Corker to vote "No" and sink the nomination.
Flake/Corker could use that as some sort of spring board towards a 2020 run as an independent candidacy or potentially to primary Trump, but that would be a longer shot.
Republicans are very likely going to be destroyed in November, Trump will be effectively neutered for final 2 years with Dems obstructing and investigating everything, but then the economy will tank which will open the door for a plausible independent candidacy.
It seems that both parties blindly support their respective position or candidate regardless of facts or a back-story that are often questionable. This Kavanaugh attack by the Ds comes very late in the process. This long-time R has been mulling over changing party affiliations but I would not be comfortable as a D in view of the Kavanaugh attack. It may be time to register as an Independent.
Anonymous @ September 25, 2018 at 4:56 PM
The comparison between Cosby and Kavanaugh is not exactly black and white. Cosby was accused, arrested and tried, (twice), within the statute of limitations, and found guilty and convicted by a jury of his peers. He also used drugs to incapacitate his victims. We do not know what happened, or didn't happen, regarding Judge Kavanaugh. 36-year-old accusations have been made. Those accusations, as of yet, have been unsubstantiated. Both the accuser and the accused will have a chance to speak to the allegations. To believe 36-year-old accusations without credible substantiation is foolish and ludicrous. No, that is not the same thing as shaming the victim, nor really does it have to do with sexual assault. It has to do with innocent until proven guilty. Maybe Judge Kavanaugh is indeed unfit to be a Supreme Court Judge. But one must entertain at least the possibility that the accusations and their odd timing, along with the facts that Feinstein held on to these claims since July, and these accusations have not come up at any previous Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, has a political motivation. Sometimes facts are not convenient to the cause, but that does not negate them.

I was a registered R for over 35 years. I am now an Independent. That decision was not made lightly. The change has made me freer and more confident in my beliefs. It is lonelier; however, I would not switch back. I have been asked and said no thank you.
What, exactly is a "Trumper"?
"Trumper" is basically a cheerleader who nods and approves everything he does, argues and attacks any disenters while scrambling around for excuses on a weekly basis. Essentially only supports Trump because beyond anything else they derive enjoyment from "Owning Libs".
Trumper = Mindless and chronically angry FOX News loyalist who cannot understand why everyone else in the country doesn't love him as much as they do. Frequently found on message boards whining about Obama/Clinton/Liberal Agenda making the world a giant nest of cross dressing homosexual socialists.
I guess those who showed blind devotion to Bill Clinton in the face of far worse allegations can be called Clinters.

"Cosby was accused, arrested and tried, (twice), within the statute of limitations, and found guilty and convicted by a jury of his peers."
This is what a long-term take-down program looks like. Ever since Cosby paid for those microphones for MLK, who was at the time the most hated man in America, at a time when the FBI was actively carrying out "disruption" programs against civil rights leaders, as proven by the 1971 break-in of the Media Pa. FBI office by activist. Ever since then when Cosby would tell blacks to pull up they're pants, or go to school, or marry your child's mother, another sexual accusation would surface.
It could be argued this accounts for Cosby's record having nothing other than sexual charges exactly the type of accusations made in the FBI-King suicide letter
Jeff fox said
"He also used drugs to incapacitate his victims"
Alcohol was Kavanaugh's alleged drug of choice, the original date rape drug.
Jeff fox said
"We do not know what happened, or didn't happen, regarding Judge Kavanaugh"
I agree but this is as true for Kavanaugh as Cosby.
Allegations of this sort come out whenever they come out and how they come out. Deal with it.
If it happens again, hopefully the Judiciary Committee will be willing to investigate any reasonable allegation as opposed to rushing it through on an arbitrary timeline. This approach has nothing to do with party.
The Republicans are screwing their pooch with their approach to Kavanaugh.
A large portion of Trump voters are not Trumpers or Trumpists. We think he's vulgar and rude and disgusting and not too sharp. We didn't vote in support of Trump. We voted to keep a ghastly opponent out. Until Ds grasp this concept, which has proven extraordinarily difficult, they're still in trouble. Trumpers and Trumpists comprise only a portion of Trump's voters. It shouldn't be difficult to use moderate candidates to pick up middle lane voters who don't personally like Trump. Then, you nominate a whackjob like Wild and rail against a Trump-hating blogger for daring to demand due process. You're just not getting it. You're so not getting it.
"reasonable allegation"
35-year old repressed memories from a drunken party, where each of the three witnesses you identified deny any knowledge, is not a reasonable allegation. Claiming so is a disservice to those with reasonable allegations. Let's be honest. It's a political game to run out the clock and get a pro-abortion nominee. Ds pulled tricks to beat Bork. Rs did so to beat Garland, and so on. The stakes are high and no tactics seem off limits. A little reading will tell you SCOTUS fights have been like this from the country's earliest days.
Remember when Reid accuses Romney of not paying taxes for ten years and then straight up admitted he lied about that after the election? These are the people we’re dealing with. Why do dems play so dirty these days? What happened to the days of JFK and Carter? It’s a different breed these days and it is down right disgusting.
Says 1:57 p.m.: You're just not getting it. You're so not getting it.
Guess not: Wild up 8 points and no GOP money for Nothstein (Philly Inquirer today).
I think it was wild that raped me in Allentown's city counsil cloak room! I know we had both been drinking that night but I can clearly remember saying "no"!
Anon 4:05, you hijack convenient JFK quotes and ignore the rest of his cemments. Also you folk despised Carter then and now. Stop the BS. We can agree that from Nixon forward dirty tricks are a republican trademark. Now you even have your own TV network.
Which is why an FBI investigation is something that should be called for, in particular by Kavanaugh himself if he is as innocent as he says. Also let's not forget this is not a trial, it's a job interview for suitability to the highest court in the land. If an FBI investigation and multiple accounts of drunken debauchery are shown as a pattern he rightly should be rejected as a judge whose rulings could hold society in their grsp.
Huntress, The FBI has already investigated Kavanaugh six times. Senate Dems want a seventh investigation so they can delay this until the next election. If these allegations had a little more meat on their bones, I doubt anyone would need to ask. But they don’t.
You know that the investigation of Clarence Thomas that was reopened after the Anita Hill allegations only took a few days, right? The point isn't a criminal investigation that drags on forever, it is to have a neutral party (the FBI) gather the facts, not partisan senators on both sides. They need to ask for the investigation to be reopened precisely because it is a background investigation, not a criminal investigation.
A neutral party has already investigated Kavanaugh six times. Diane Feinstein chose to sit on a complaint made to her in July, and only released it AFTER the confirmation hearing was over, in a bad-faith attempt to delay. I would support an FBI investigation of Diane Feinstein, who should be censured for abuse of her office.
Come on Bernie, you have to know that's a steaming pile of crap unless you are deliberately ignoring the particulars of this story's timeline. First of all, the initial letter was sent to Dr. Ford's congresswoman, who then forwarded it to Feinstein on July 30. Feinstein did not make any public statement about the letter, in an attempt to maintain Ford's confidentiality, until after The Intercept had already reported its existence. For her part, Ford had gone to the Washington Post with the story weeks before it broke, but the Post didn't run it because Ford didn't want to be named.
Stop pretending you know more than you do. It doesn't make you look smart, it makes you look like a jerk who doesn't take sexual assault seriously (which is actually backed up by your dismissive coverage on the recent grand jury report on the Catholic church).
They should just throw Kavanaugh in water and see if he swims. Let's party like it's 1692.
Kavenaughty sure must have been a party boy.
The train keeps rolling...the count is now 4.
A neutral party? Come-on. It's easy to find a woman to blame, but it was two backroom dealing men, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell that made the "deal" on judges and sold Kavanaugh and his family down the river.
100!!!!!
