Don't fall for it, Dems! Don't trust Christine Blasey Ford!
Hey, it's me. Cynicism, angst, dark prophecy...that's what I do. That's what you come here for.
You may be wondering: How is Cannon going to argue that the Christine Blasey Ford revelation will become a disaster for the Democrats?
Most liberals believe that this controversy could deep-six the Kavanaugh nomination -- which was already in some trouble. He provably committed perjury. He's clearly a hard-right manipulator and conspirator, not an objective jurist. Frankly, I think he should be doing time, not sitting on the highest court in the land.
At first glance, the claim against him looks pretty solid. Blasey Ford is a woman of good reputation. Former students of her high school, Holton-Arms, have come to her defense.
“We believe Dr. Blasey Ford and are grateful that she came forward to tell her story,” says a draft letter from alumnae of Holton-Arms, a private girls school in Bethesda, Maryland. “It demands a thorough and independent investigation before the Senate can reasonably vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to a lifetime seat on the nation’s highest court.”The initial smears leveled against Blasey Ford were desperate and laughable.
The women also say that what Ford is alleging “is all too consistent with stories we heard and lived while attending Holton. Many of us are survivors ourselves.”
The allegation itself is a serious one -- more serious, I would say, than were the claims made by Anita Hill against Clarence Thomas.
When we first heard about the Blasey Ford letter, I worried that we were dealing with a simple case of misread signals or a remature try for second base. Most guys, during their high school years, did something kinda creepy during their interactions with the opposite sex. (I didn't, but only because I was scared to death of guh-guh-guh-girls.) As longtime readers know, I was never a big fan of the "Me Too" movement -- certainly not after Al Franken, John Conyers, and Garrison Keillor were brought low on bullshit allegations.
But in this case, the claims aren't overblown nonsense. The woman isn't saying "He touched my waist in a way I didn't like." No: We're talking about attempted rape. Neither youth nor the passage of years offers an excuse.
So far, Blasey Ford's story is not beset by any of the problems and contradictions that made Juanita Broaddrick's story so toxic that neither Ken Starr nor the National Enquirer would take it seriously. Broaddrick once filed an affadavit claiming that she had not been raped; you can't say the same for Blasey Ford. Broaddrick described an unlikely injury to her cheek which her husband denied ever seeing; no such dubious details festoon the Blasey Ford charges. (Lying Juanita has now come to Kavanuagh's defense, which no actual rape victim would do.)
Kavanaugh's alleged co-assaulter, Mark Judge, is a disreputable figure whose testimony could not be more impeachable. The man literally wrote a book about what a falling-down drunk he was in high school -- a book which references Kavanaugh himself as a fellow hell-raiser. Mark Judge's own brother calls him "a solipsist: spoiled as a child, gazing always inward, unable to recognize any pain but his own" -- words that could describe our current president.
All in all, the case against Kavanaugh looks pretty good -- so far.
So why am I predicting the worst? Here's why:
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday that Christine Blasey Ford, who on Sunday publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of assaulting her when they were in high school, should “absolutely” testify before the Senate and “should be heard.”What more evidence do we need? This is a setup.
Ford is willing to speak under oath about the incident, her attorney, Debra Katz, said Monday.
“Let me be very clear on behalf of the president, with whom I’ve spoken at length about this,” Conway told reporters at the White House when asked if Ford should testify. “She should not be ignored or insulted. She should be heard.”
This is all a Republican plot to distract the country from a discussion of Kavanaugh's perjury and his stance on abortion. This is all a Roger Stonian scheme to make Trump look like the victim of Democratic perfidy.
DiFi was right to keep that letter under wraps. (Who let it slip out?) After Blasey Ford testifies, the world will hear dramatic testimony that she was paid to lie about Kavanaugh.
There is no other way to interpret Conway's statement. If Blasey Ford were legit, Kellyanne would have said something very different.
Come on. Admit it. You know I'm right. When a purebred propagandist like Kellyanne Conway -- one of the most devious, conscience-free individuals in the history of American politics says of Blasery Ford "She should be heard" -- our wisest response is to say "No. Don't trust Chritine Blasey Ford."
Remember the words of Admiral Ackbar.
By the way: I never understood why that mundane piece of expository dialogue became so famous. It's not as though everyone came out of Return of the Jedi in 1981 repeating the line "It's a trap!" Star Wars fans did not fasten onto those words until decades later.
But in this case...it really IS a trap.
Yes, yes, yes: I was wrong when I suggested, in an earlier post, that Kavanugh's accuser went to the Academy of the Holy Cross, the closest girls' school to Georgetown Prep. But that was supposition about a matter of mere geography. The words of Kellyanne Conway are far more serious.
