And they felt better, because that was the plan.
DENY any and all accusations, with lots of yelling and tears of rage, then quickly go on and on and on about how you are in fact awesome, with yet more yelling and tears of rage throughout. That was the entire strategy. That was would-be Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanuagh with gunz a-blazin.
Be Pissed Off
and that’s it.
And holy shit it worked.
Following that, the next most chilling thing is: Debate might well have ended had they taken a <cough> more judicial path.
Try to imagine Judge Kavanaugh staying calm.
It’s hard, I know, if you were unlucky enough to watch him Being Pissed Off on national television last week. But just try to picture it. Judge Kavanaugh staying calm while, say, stressing in equal measure ”I didn’t do it” and “I am sorry it happened to you”.
While throughout maintaining the calm and even temperament one would expect from a judge.
Assuming for a fraction of a second he is in fact innocent, how hard would that have been? Unless of course he has a big problem maintaining a calm and even temperament.
So, given his raging guns-blazing Clintons-hating left-wing-conspiracy blame-everyone-else performance, in front of the cameras and the entire unbelieving world, logic presents only three conclusions:
1: He did it, and is in fact a rapist
2: He has little or no control over his temper
3: Both
Sounds like just the type of guy we the Republican-controlled US Senate should totally put on the Supreme Court for the rest of his life.
Because power.
