I am neither a mind reader nor an expert in socio-psychological behavior, but I am Solomon-like in judging the pants-on-fire conduct of that none-too-rare bird, the Bald-Faced-American Liar.  Legalzoom.com has advised that I preface the following with the disclaimer that everything herein is, in sum and substance, my opinion, so, OK, but you can, without hesitation, take this to the bank.

Brett Kavanaugh is a liar!  He grew up an entitled and privileged only child.  He was an understandably horny product of religious, all-male schooling who ran with like-minded and similarly-reared boys who drank too much and behaved inappropriately towards others, especially female others, with relative immunity.  He crossed the line of mere adolescent hijinks on numerous occasions.  I believe, at some point, he became a better actor as an adult, perhaps by finding a more productive outlet for his testosterone-driven antics when he married, became a father and followed his privilege into a successful and publicly political life.  However, his attempt to run the gauntlet of scrutiny for a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court of the United States of America has revealed, without a shadow of a doubt, an evasive, flop-sweating, eye-twitching, dry-mouthed, word-stumbling, lily-livered-lying-liar.  During his hearing, he skirted and/or refused to answer any question related to bias or actual or perceived misbehavior of any kind. Then, this past week, as accusations of criminally sexual behavior were leveled at his younger self, he publicly responded as two very different, equally unbelievable, highly coached characters;  the softball, (is there anything gentler or more pandering than ‘softball’?), depiction of the holier-than-Jesus Brett on Fox News, (I literally have to shower every time I use Fox and News in a sentence), and the outraged, unhinged, stop-picking-on-me resurrection of his high school persona, (commanded to appear by the Molester-in-Chief), who showed up for the farcical “hearing” by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.  Shameful!

As of the time of this posting, pressure from one of the three potentially sane voices in the Republican Senate, (just vote “NO”, Jeff!), has prompted a “limited” investigation by the FBI before the confirmation of a non-repentant sex offender is all but assured and we will all have officially gone to wherever it is you go in a hand basket.  The liars will win the day and Dr. Ford will join Anita Hill and other patriotic women whose brave voices continue to be shushed by cowards as their bravery is distilled to an historic asterisk.  Write, call, text, email Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Flake, tell them to “Vote NO on Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court!”
