Thank God, I was wrong!
Christine Blasey Ford proved to be an excellent witness. Nobody could lay a finger on her. All of the smarmy tactics employed by the Republicans failed.Please accept my apologies for relapsing into hyper-paranoia early this morning. Whenever Trump says something human or reasonable, as he did yesterday, my natural reaction is to suspect that some Machiavellian scheme is a-brewing.
If such a scheme exists, Blasey Ford was not party to it. She was superb. Her testimony may have converted the few convertible Republicans. The Democrats who hail from red states -- Joe Manchin being the ultimate example -- can now easily explain why they voted "no" on Kavanaugh.
As of this writing, the nominee himself has not yet testified. Based his his silly and unconvincing Fox interview, I do not expect him to reverse the damage.
Lindsey Graham dismissed the two men who "confessed" that they were the ones who assaulted Blasey Ford. One of the men, said Graham, appeared to be insane, while the other lacked all credibility. Sounds like something really weird happened behind the scenes. Will we ever learn the story?
Bottom line: Hope is starting to creep into my dark and stent-ridden heart. I dislike hope. Hope is the foundational condition for all disappointment, just as pessimism is the foundational condition for all happy surprises.
Yet here we are. Stuck like dopes with a thing called hope.
I was right on a couple of points. In the preceding post, I predicted that the Republican smear machine would counter the Kavanaugh accusers by trotting out the familiar canards about False Memory Syndrome. On cue, National Review did just that. Of course, rightwingers never mention the FMS mythos when discussing (for example) the Al Franken case. Memory becomes suspect only when the accused is a Republican; if the accused is a Democrat, anything goes -- up to and including completely anonymous accusations. As the Europeans say: "Left eye open, right eye blind."
Also, it appears that one of the five accusations against Kavanaugh was, in fact, false -- though not the one I thought would be false. The boat story has been sunk.
