It’s all good fun when politically hypocritical goons are hoisted on their own petard, their careers hammered after their words on Twitter or elsewhere come back to bite them. But this is getting silly… and downright disturbing. A Supreme Court nominee is being attacked over a claim that is being made without any evidence (and with a whole lot of counter-testimony) that three decades ago as a teenager he got drunked up and got physically inappropriate. Maybe he did. Maybe she’s lying. Maybe she’s misremembering someone *else.* Maybe she was drunked up as well and has confounded two drunk kids behaving like two drunk kids as something more malevolent. The point is, there would seem to be no way whatsoever for her to back up her claim… and of course no way whatsoever for him to prove his innocence. But in America, it’s not the accuseds job to prove his innocence, but the accusers job to prove guilt.

Sadly, those who hope to control the reins of power in the US government come November seem to be willfully ignorant of how justice works.

Democrats: We Already Know Kavanaugh Is Guilty [Montage]

Which contains the most mind-snappingly awful bit of reasoning ever:

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said Thursday: “I believe her because she is telling the truth and you know it by her story.”

Guh. I don’t accept that reasoning out of religions… “I know the Holy Book is the Truth, because Deity says so and Deity never lies, and I believe *that* because the Holy Book says so,” so why the frak should I accept it from politicians?

The hypocrisy here is overwhelming. The people ulcerating over the *need* for the FBI to investigate the claims of a physical assault of one teenager on another 35 years ago are the same who still hole the likes of Ted Kennedy in high regard.

There is, though, a chance for redemption on the part of these folks: someone has volunteered to testify.

Just a thought……If Christine Ford declines to be interviewed Monday…. I’m available to answer questions about my Rape by Bill Clinton.
