The women I can see on the screen are giving him the female stink-eye. I’ve seen it, that’s what it looks like.
Kavanaugh: “I’ve been a good judge”. Said very, very loudly. I guess that settles it.
I can’t decide to refer to him as “Yelly McHollerson” or “Deservey McEntilepants.”
“Golly. Really hard to imagine this red faced screamer is a violent drunk.”
-Marcy Wheeler
I will grant him that at least he is sticking with the “I wasn’t there” defense, rather than his allies’ terrible “it wasn’t that bad” defense.
Just don’t make the mistake of relying on his “decency and integrity”, because apparently that won’t get you far.
I’m pretty sure one of the women on the screen is Kavanaugh’s wife, so … I doubt it.
WTF is he crying about, when saying he kept calendars?
Sounds like a whiny, entitled, rich kid. Not the type of person I’d gravitate towards, and plenty of them already on the Court.
Single, I take it?
Remembering dear old Dad. Good touch.
He wants his old calendars to be admitted as conclusive evidence.
One thing no one has accused him of is being stupid.
God, if he’s this unhinged in his opening statement, how is he going to respond to actual hostile questioning?
I’m actually starting to wonder if he’s leading up to withdrawing his nomination at the end of this speech. Can he actually be delusional enough to think this is helping his cause? Seems like he’s just adding “temperament” to the list of excuses that swing Senators might use to vote against him without having to pass judgment on Dr. Ford’s testimony.
Hey, that’s what’s happening to him. A bitch when that happens, isn’t it, Brett?
“It is our job to make his pattern of revolting behavior clear - piece by painful piece.”
-Brett Kavanaugh, 1998
He is going to crumple like a moist tissue when Kamala Harris gets hold of him.
I suspect that at least part of the emotional tear-up is genuine. Because it really sucks when you’ve practically clinched the Supreme Court and then your past catches up with you. Plus, why not crank it up a bit, it can’t hurt!
ETA: I really think this guy is revealing himself as being somewhat unhinged, certainly not stable. His emotional act, genuine or not, is starting to get really disturbing.
It was probably packaged for him. They’ve decided fierce outrage is their best angle.
Hey, did you guys know that drinking beer and raping people are two different things?
Maybe this is his “you won’t have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore” moment.
His wife and daughters have both had death threats.
