That Kavanaugh Mess

found online by Raymond

 
From author John Scalzi:

Both Kavanaugh and Ford are going to testify about it in front of the Senate on Monday, and one would hope under oath. And won’t that be interesting if it is under oath? Because then, if they both stick to their stories, one or the other of them is, flatly, lying.

Alternately, if one wishes to be extraordinarily generous about it, it’s possible that Kavanaugh isn’t lying, precisely, he simply has no memory of the incident. Ford did describe him as being stumble-down drunk at the time. But the thing about that is, he didn’t say “I have no memory of such an incident ever occurring.” He said it never happened. So we’re back to it being an actual lie, in my book.

And here’s the thing for me: Removing all the political aspects of the incident and focusing on the individuals and the incident itself, who are you more likely to believe has a better memory of the incident: The person who was stumble-down drunk when the incident occurred, or the person who was not, and had the event seared into her brain so significantly that it still came up in therapy, three decades later?

One thought on “That Kavanaugh Mess”

  1. When contacted after the Ford allegations only TWO of the “Kavanaugh 65” women said they still support him.

    “@AndrewRestuccia and I called many of Kavanaugh’s 65 female HS acquaintances who signed a letter supporting him. After his accuser came out on Sunday, only TWO said they still stood by him. More than two dozen didn’t respond, and two declined to comment.” –Daniel Lippman, Politico

    “What happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep. That’s been a good thing for all of us.”

    Yes, good for all spoiled, rich, conservative white children of privilege. Salt of the Earth.
