BALTIMORE, Maryland Thursday, September 25, 2018: It is almost torture to listen or watch Christine Blasey Ford testify. She apparently would have us believe that she has never ever had a shred of doubt that Judge Kavanagh attacked her at a gathering back in 1982. The smug jerks from my party make it all the fault of the GOP that politics in Washington is at the point it currently is at. Ford recovered her nerve, not when Kavanagh was first appointed or when he was subsequently appointed, over and over. Some six background checks came and went during the silence.
In case you did not know, those background checks would've been the 'correct' time. Then her story could've been properly vetted. She did name four people who were at the small gathering she describes. All four have been contacted. Not a single one corroborates any of her story. This includes other the other woman (women?).
It was Ms. Ford who decided, herself, that she was not going to reveal her information back when it actually could've been investigated by Montgomery County, Maryland police in a way that would be meaningful.
But the Corey Bookers of the world act like Ford is heroic. No she is not. If Kavanagh is a bad judge, then how many bad judge rulings has he made while she sat on the information?
Senator Feinstein knew the substance of what she was going to say some nine months ago. She remained silent. Were this a real court room, Ms. Ford would not have been allowed to testify when she sat on her chance to do so at the proper time.
Ford said she did not want to fly across the country because flying is traumatic for her. Okay. But she flies all over the place on other occasions, when it suited her.
A whole lot of people said when the day's hearings had ended that they were both believable. For those saying that, including a lot of knuckleheads on the TV, they were going out of their way to avoid the 500-pound guerilla in the room. That guerilla is, of course, the fact that the relevant events happened 35 years ago. Only one of the witnesses is responsible for that: Ford.
And then there is this: Ford identified everybody she said was there, save for one person. All of the identified people said it did not happen, even Ms. Ford's best friend.
Ford waited way too long, and even then, all of the witnesses, even those sympathetic to her in most every circumstance, said no, that did not happen.
It did not happen.
