My God, the Senate is a vile and
repellent institution, but even so it outdid itself yesterday. I almost vomited
listening to that oleaginous Connecticut creep Blumenthal throwing in
Kavanaugh's face the ancient Common Law caution on witness credibility: Falsus
in uno, falsus in omnibus - false in one thing, false in everything.
Is there any man who could less
credibly deploy that dictum than Blumenthal? A hollow little "stolen
honor" fraudster who was false on one huge big thing - that he served in
Vietnam when he never went near the joint - but yet expects to be taken
seriously on everything else. That was Kavanaugh's only misstep, not flinging
that phrase back in his pompous halfwit interrogator's face. Other than that,
he gave a raw, impassioned performance so freakishly authentic by US Senate
terms that it may have saved the day. We shall know in a few hours.
