I wish a Senator at the hearing had made note of his temperament and bearing in real time. That would have been a powerful moment.

Hirono did.

Missed that, Good for her. It needed saying.

Never miss a Mazie round. She's incredibly well staffed and quietly relentless.

She is a godsend.

Harris gets the attention but Hirono & Klobuchar are both quietly great. The exchange with Klobuchar really damaged him.

Well I'm glad to have all of them on our side. I just wish that one of them would have firmly said to him, "Do not interrupt me, do not talk over me. Show some respect, you whiny-ass punk."

I can't forget the cruel, sneering disdain when he asked Amy Klobuchar if she blacked out drinking. Showed his attitude to women right there, and the GOP knew it, they got him out of there right then for a "break".

I didn't take that to be sexism. I just think he, like most Republican operatives, will project about anything, even to the point of absurdity, which this was in context.

And that bullying-back is the instinctive go-to strategy for an wannabe alpha when confronted by a perceived personal attack. Standard bar-fight mentality - reinforced by prep sessions with Orange Leader.

It's also the kind of over-compensating that certain people do when confronted with their own vices. Their ego won't let them hate themselves, so the hate has to be projected outwards. (I guess we're saying the same thing). Think, eg, Ted Haggard.

That look she gave him when he threw her Q back at her. It's like she knew she was dealing w another defensive drunk.

She's also a skilled prosecutor and would pick up on something like that when interrogating a witness in court.

It would be ironic if the man that developed these questions gets declined for the Supreme Court because he lied about sex.pic.twitter.com/knWNWOREYr

Ironic, yes, but also just.

Similarly, I am hoping that this is all part of the karmic whiplash from his politicizing of Vince Foster's death. You can't torture a family who has had to deal with depression and suicide like that without some kind of repercussion. (hopefully)

“The idea of going easy on him at the questioning is ... abhorrent to me...It is our job to make his pattern of revolting behavior clear — piece by painful piece," Kavanaugh wrote in the two-page memo, which was sent to Starr and all other attorneys on his staff on Aug. 15, 1998.
